Mercedes-Benz currently has seven electric vehicles on sale today and now it\u2019s added an eighth model, the EQE SUV, the high-riding and more rugged alternative to the EQE sedan. It\u2019s also Mercedes\u2019 fourth electric model built on a bespoke EV platform, and even though it looks like a smaller version of the EQS SUV, there are several characteristics that make it stand out.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Mercedes<\/a> notes that even though the EQE SUV<\/a> has a more spacious interior than the EQE sedan, it is actually a smaller vehicle that rides on a 3.5-inch (9-centimeter) shorter wheelbase. The EQE SUV is 191.5 inches (4.86 meters) long, 76.4 inches (1.94 meters) wide and 66.4 inches (1.68 meters) tall – this makes it shorter overall, but wider and taller than the sedan.<\/p>\n

From a design standpoint, it looks almost identical to the EQS SUV<\/a> (only slightly smaller), but its front fascia does look a lot more similar to the EQE sedan<\/a>, especially when it comes to the shape of the headlights. And just like in the EQS SUV\u2019s case<\/a>, its more traditional SUV proportions make it look less polarizing than the pebble-like sedans – let us know in the comments if you agree.<\/p>\n

Mercedes also notes that because of its shorter wheelbase, the EQE SUV is also more maneuverable compared to the three-box model, so if you equip the optional rear-wheel steering system (that can turn the wheels by up to 10 degrees in the opposite direction to the front wheels at lower speeds) it should be especially agile.<\/p>\n

Specifying rear-axle steering reduces the turning circle from 40.4 meters to 34.4 meters, according to the manufacturer.<\/p>\n

Air suspension is available as an option and it can raise the ride height by 1 inch, which happens automatically when all-wheel drive examples are put into Off-Road mode (not available on rear-wheel drive vehicles). It provides special powertrain, suspension, braking, suspension and ESP calibration that Mercedes says will make a difference when going off-road.<\/p>\n
