The Mercedes-Benz EQE has become an SUV. The German automaker revealed a higher riding, more utility focused version of its EQE sedan, and while the price is still being kept under wraps, the EQE SUV is expected to hit US dealerships in 2023.

Since it was first revealed last year, we knew we would be getting an SUV version of the car. The SUV version of the flagship EV from Mercedes-Benz was released earlier this month. The fourth EV is built on the new EV platform.

The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV will be the most spacious representative of its class.

There are three trim levels with the EQE SUV, one rear- motor and two dual- motor versions, and an AMG performance variant. Mercedes positioning the EQE sedan as the most spacious representative of its class is the main difference between the two.

The five-seater EQE SUV is 3.5 inches shorter than the sedan. The company claims that this gives it more flexibility on the road.

The base model of the EQS will have the same 90.6kWh battery pack that powers the rear-wheel drive launch model, which the company says will be good for up to an impressive 341 miles of driving on a full charge.

That is less range than the EQE sedan, which has a similar battery size but a more aerodynamic shape and smaller wheels, and leads to 660 kilometers. The all-wheel drive version of the SUV will have a power output of 536hp. The variant will have two electric motor and 21 inch wheels.

There is a 12.3-inch instrument cluster behind the steering wheel on the EQE SUV. The Mercedes-Benz EV will include a number of luxurious trappings, such as its MBUX digital assistant for help finding charging stations and the like. Think of nature as a sound. Over-the-air updates will be given to the SUV.

The G-Wagen will be an electric vehicle in the mid- 20th century. The company plans to invest 40 billion in the effort to go all-electric.

The upcoming EQE and its SUV version are all about trying to offer a more affordable and accessible way into what Mercedes-Benz has to offer.

As long as it executes, the EQE SUV could be a far more promising entrant into the market than some of Mercedes-Benz's other early attempts, like the EQC, which was full of compromises due to being built on a combustion engine platform rather than being a ground-up
