The new EQE Pure Electric SUV and the new Mercedes-AMG EQE Pure Electric SUV made their world debut and made their online debut during the Mercedes-EQ Technology Day event. As the first mid-size SUV based on the EVA pure electric platform and the fourth model of the platform, the new EQE pure electric SUV joins hands with the AMG EQE pure electric SUV, the first mass-produced pure electric SUV of the Mercedes-AMG brand.

World Premiere

The new EQE pure electric SUV is the first mid-size SUV based on the EVA pure electric platform of the Mercedes-EQ brand, which combines pioneering luxury design and space practicality, covers a variety of travel scenarios such as urban and countryside, and perfectly integrates humanized technology and intelligent interactive experience, providing a new choice for the mid-size pure electric luxury SUV market. The new EQE pure electric SUV will also be produced in China in the future to better meet the exclusive needs of Chinese customers.

In terms of exterior, the new EQE pure electric SUV combines a bow-shaped body shape with a seamless design, making it both a pioneering luxury design aesthetic and excellent aerodynamic performance; under the "Dark Star Array" closed grille, the daytime running light strip is decorated with two triangular lighting units, interpreting the Mercedes-EQ luxury electric SUV's The "Dark Star Array" closed grille is adorned with two triangular lighting units, interpreting the sharpness of the Mercedes-EQ luxury electric SUV.

In the interior, the new EQE pure electric SUV with MBUX ultra-linked screen is complemented by high-quality leather, shaping a digital luxury aesthetic. With a long wheelbase of 3,030 mm and over 1 meter of rear legroom, and a trunk volume of 1,675 liters with the second row down, the new EQE Pure Electric SUV is a flexible and spacious vehicle that offers more possibilities for families on long trips.

The new EQE Pure Electric SUV is equipped with a heat pump air conditioner, which utilizes waste heat from the battery to effectively reduce energy consumption while providing a pleasant temperature in the winter cabin; the new EQE Pure Electric SUV will also introduce Dolby Atmos with the Burmester 3D surround sound audio system, elevating the listening experience to a whole new level. In addition, the new EQE pure electric SUV inherits many humanized and pioneering intelligent technologies from the family, including the intelligent driving assistance system that reaches the L2 level, the latest generation MBUX intelligent human-machine interaction system, and the rich "smooth heart wake-up" function, all of which provide a comfortable travel experience for owners.

In terms of power and range, the new EQE pure electric SUV brings excellent energy efficiency with its outstanding triboelectric system. It is equipped with NCM811 power cells consisting of 10 battery modules, providing a range of more than 590 km under WLTP conditions, and the dual-motor version has a maximum power of 300 kW and peak torque of 858 NM, enabling owners to enjoy worry-free journeys. The four-wheel drive system enables all-wheel drive mode on the city highway, enhancing energy efficiency in quiet comfort; in the city streets, the 10-degree active steering system at the rear wheels enables it to turn as low as 10.5 meters in diameter for agile handling; on weekend trips to the countryside, the intelligent "off-road" driving mode with the future equipped The air suspension can raise the body by 30 mm, so that the power surges while remaining stable, allowing the driver to feel the beauty of nature with ease.

The new Mercedes-AMG EQE pure electric SUV is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum output of 460 kW at the front and rear axles, a peak power of 505 kW and a peak torque of up to 1,000 NM in the ejection start mode with the AMG Dynamic Plus package, accelerating in 3.5 seconds. The new AMG EQE pure electric SUV is equipped with fully variable AMG 4MATIC+ high-performance all-wheel drive enhancement, AMG RIDE CONTROL+ air suspension with adaptive damping, AMG high-performance braking system, and many other AMG exclusive driving control technologies to shape the extraordinary driving performance. The new AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL system replaces the traditional mechanical anti-roll bar with an electronically controlled mechanism, delivering faster response and more precise handling characteristics.

At the EQ Technology Day, Mercedes-Benz brought the brand's most energy-efficient vehicle ever, the VISION EQXX Concept, to the long-awaited Chinese audience.

The VISION EQXX Concept features an eye-catching Alubeam silver exterior with a roof that resembles a smooth greenhouse dome and flows gracefully like a teardrop to the rear. the aerodynamic optimization of the VISION EQXX Concept presents a perfect blend of technology and aesthetics, and digital simulation technology further helps to achieve an impressive wind resistance coefficient as low as 0.17.

The retractable active rear diffuser, which blends seamlessly into the body when retracted, is combined with ultra-low rolling resistance and aerodynamically optimized tires to effectively increase range. The VISION EQXX Concept also features an advanced thermal management system, thanks to an innovative "cooling on demand" thermal management concept, which achieves excellent energy efficiency and cooling effect through passive cooling by external airflow and an active cooling system that turns on at the right time. Its multi-source heat pump fully absorbs heat from the drive system and the outside, generating heat for the cabin with extremely low energy consumption.

The VISION EQXX Concept is equipped with a large 47.5-inch screen with a resolution of 8K (7,680 x 660 pixels) that allocates power according to the needs of specific areas of the screen and reduces screen power consumption. The human-computer interaction system, created by introducing a game engine interface, operates in a way that mimics "neuromorphic computing" in the human brain, effectively reducing energy consumption for information processing and doubling the response time. In addition, the VISION EQXX Concept is extensively equipped with sustainable materials, such as door handles made of biodegradable pure plant material, seats made from cactus raw material or mushroom mycelium as an alternative to leather, and carpets made of 100% bamboo fiber weave, perfectly illustrating the connotation of sustainable luxury.

The VISION EQXX Concept has a new self-developed electric drive system. The new 900-volt high-voltage battery pack, jointly developed by the Mercedes-Benz F1 team, achieves an impressive energy density of nearly 400 watt-hours per liter at an ultra-low weight of 495 kg through an advanced anode chemistry process, and the powerful electric drive system can transfer 95% of the battery energy directly to the wheels. The VISION EQXX Concept is also equipped with an "Energy Efficiency Assistant System" that gives the most efficient driving advice based on information such as energy flow, terrain, power, and even the direction and intensity of the wind and sun and improves driving efficiency.

Thanks to the above-mentioned energy-efficient technologies, the VISION EQXX Concept achieved an extraordinary performance of 1,202 kilometers on a single charge with an ultra-low electric consumption of 8.3 kWh per 100 kilometers in a real-world road challenge in June this year.
