Mercedes-Benz PH to launch EQE SUV next month

Mercedes-Benz distributor Inchcape Philippines is set to expand its offering of all-electric luxury vehicles. After launching the EQA, EQB, EQE, and EQS EVs, the German luxury brand will be launching yet another zero-emissions vehicle.

Set to make its debut this June is the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV, and it has set its sights on the likes of the BMW iX and Audi e-tron. Essentially the crossover version of the EQE sedan that’s been available in the country since 2023, the EQE SUV blends a conservative design with high-tech zero emissions tech.

Official specifications about the upcoming electric crossover are not yet available for the local market. But based on what international markets get, the EQE SUV for the Philippines will likely get a 90.6 kWh battery pack.

Paired with a rear single electric motor, the EQE 350+ SUV puts out 288 PS and 565 Nm of torque. On a full charge, the EQE 350+ SUV can cover up to 550 km based on the WLTP cycle. Opt for the AWD version of the 350+ and the all-electric SUV doles out a healthier 764 Nm of pull thanks to an extra motor in the front. Horsepower, however, is still the same at 288 PS.

Another possible variant of the electric crossover is the EQE 300 SUV. This one makes slightly less power as it’s rated to produce 241 PS and 550 nm of torque. Despite the slight dip in output, the EQE 300 SUV is rated to travel up to 500 km on a full charge.

When it comes to features, the EQE SUV will likely get a loaded cabin. From a 12.8-inch MBUX touchscreen system to a 12.3-inch digital cluster, as well as a full leather interior and multi-zone climate control, the EQE SUV will be packed with plenty of amenities. Other creature comforts like massage seats, heated/ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and LED ambient lighting are expected to be available as well.

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV will be making its Philippine debut on June 10.
