Ahead of the 2021 IAA Mobility convention on September 7, Mercedes has discovered a number of the specifications and tech drivers can count on from its upcoming EQE electric powered sedan.

The absolutely electric powered automobile is the second one version to be primarily based totally at the automaker’s new premium-elegance electric powered architecture, following the release of the super-luxurious Mercedes EQS lower back in April, and even as it bears numerous similarities to its large sibling, the EQE will arrive as a far extraordinary electric powered offering.

For starters, its indoors and outdoors dimensions make the EQE a extra athletic-searching automobile. It’s extra compact than the EQS, with a wheelbase that’s 90mm shorter and a frame extra akin to the prevailing CLS line. 

Like the latter, the EQE has no tailgate however a hard and fast rear window and a boot lid, which Mercedes says lets in it to boast indoors area that exceeds even the present day E-Class. 

The EQE can even recreation a ninety kWh battery, giving the auto as much as 660km (round 410 miles) of variety. 

That’s shy of the EQS’ equal 780km parent, aleven though nonetheless a mightily marvelous drivable variety thinking about the lesser numbers provided through similar EVs just like the Audi e-tron GT (475km / 295iles) or BMW i4 (590km / 365 miles).

Like the EQS, the EQE will provide drivers the opportunity of activating absolutely new automobile features through over-the-air updates (OTA) in lots of areas, too. 

At release, the emblem says functions just like the ‘Roaring Pulse’ sound enjoy, extraordinary virtual mild modes and mini-video games may be to be had to download. 

Though now no longer completely clean at this stage, we additionally presume this OTA compatibility might also additionally provide the EQE in addition variety updates withinside the future, in a comparable style to the brand new Volvo C40 Recharge. 

It’s what is at the inside 

It’s the EQE’s indoors bells and whistles, aleven though, that endure the maximum similarity to the EQS – that’s a exquisite thing, given our enjoy riding the latter.

Like its luxurious sibling, the EQE sports activities the optionally available more of the emblem’s market-main MBUX Hyperscreen, which mixes 3 curved shows below one, dashboard-encompassing glass cover. 

This means, in addition to the driving force, the the front passenger receives their very own show and manipulate area, too, which (in Europe, at least) additionally lets in them to observe dynamic content material even as at the move.

What’s extra, Mercedes says the EQS makes use of an intelligent, digital digicam-primarily based totally blockading logic: if the digital digicam detects that the driving force is asking on the the front passenger show, it is mechanically dimmed for sure content material – which means drivers may not be capable of grab a sneaky glimpse of any enjoyment content material even as mobile.

The navigation machine is quite intelligent, too. It’s capin a position to plot the quickest and maximum handy path primarily based totally on severa factors (like charging stops) and react dynamically to visitors jams or modifications in riding style. 

This consists of a visualization withinside the MBUX infotainment machine as to whether or not the to be had battery potential is enough to go back to the place to begin with out charging.

And finally, Mercedes has showed the EQE will boast best-in-elegance noise and vibration comfort, in addition to the emblem’s Energizing Air Control machine, which makes use of filters and sensors to entice and expel exceptional particles, micro-particles, pollen and different materials getting into the cabin through outdoor air.

There’s no phrase but at the EQE’s charge tag, aleven though we count on it to take a seat down barely under the beginning charge of the EQS (roughly $120,000 / £ninety,000 / AU$170,000), achieving into the six-parent variety while optionally available extras are added.

The staggered international release of the EQE will take area in mid-2022, with Germany anticipated to get hold of the primary orders.
