All-electric 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV spied

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV has been caught undergoing testing on public roads in Germany.

The mid-size SUV will sit between the EQS and EQC in the Mercedes-Benz electric line-up, and is closely related to the EQE sedan unveiled in early September.

The EQE SUV prototype was spotted driving near Germany’s famous Nürburgring circuit, and appears to adopt the company’s EQ design language: smooth and rounded front facia, thin LED daytime-running light strip, similar full-width LED tail-light bar, and aerodynamic alloy wheels.

It’s expected an entry-level variant of the EQE SUV will adopt the sedan’s 90kWh battery pack – possibly badged as the EQE350 – powering a 215kW electric motor at the rear axle and allowing for a driving range in excess of 600 kilometres.

Based on the company’s EVA2 architecture, which is shared with the larger EQS SUV, it’s possible the EQE could be offered with its sibling’s 108kWh battery pack.

The higher-spec EQE450 SUV would likely use dual electric motors, delivering more power, a potentially longer driving range, and all-wheel drive.

High-performance AMG versions are also expected, with the company filing trademark applications for EQE 43, 53, 55, and 63.

An official unveiling for the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV is anticipated next year, ahead of the sedan’s arrival in late 2022.
