MERCEDES-BENZ EQE SUV

It’s been three years now since Mercedes-Benz pioneered the luxury EV space in India, with the EQC. And last year, the German luxury carmaker launched not one but two luxury EVs in the country, the EQS sedan and the EQB SUV. Actually three, if you count the AMG EQS 53 as a separate model. Mercedes has been clear about its product offensive in the EV space and has been making steady progress on the front – not just in India but globally as well. In keeping with its vision of going carbon neutral by 2039, the German luxury carmaker has been expanding its EQ line-up of luxury EVs at a feverish pace and has just launched its EQE SUV in India, its fourth EV for the market. To find out what it is like to drive, we spent half a day driving the EQE around picturesque Gulmarg in Kashmir.

There is a lot to talk about the design because the EQE looks very distinctive. I mean, the grille does remind me of the EQS, but the headlamps look different and are rather unique. Overall, I really like this front end for its futuristic feel. The headlamps are more rectangular as compared to those we’ve seen on the EQS sedan, which makes the EQE ones look more appealing. The star-studded panel housing the three-pointed star in place of the conventional grille adds the futuristic feel to the face in heaps, while the bumper design is clean, without too many curves or creases. The hood also gets the power bulges we’ve seen on other Mercedes cars, adding a sense of familiarity and muscle to the front end.
