Mercedes is working on electric successors to the EQE and EQS while returning to traditional model names, beginning with an E-Class designed exclusively as an EV. Initial prototypes also point to an AMG E 63 with 800-volt technology, including a large battery and an extremely powerful drivetrain.

The Mercedes EQA is the brand’s entry-level electric SUV and is closely related to the GLA technically. In the ADAC Ecotest conducted by Germany’s largest automobile club, the EQA 250 with a net capacity of 66.5 kWh achieves around 350 km of real-world range, although there is room for improvement in energy consumption. It also offers 100 kW DC charging, 11 kW AC charging and an interior that remains very much a GLA, with the typical strengths and usability weaknesses of MBUX.

Mercedes is giving the EQS a major technology update: an 800-volt architecture, charging at up to 350 kW and optional steer-by-wire are intended to make the luxury electric sedan noticeably more practical in everyday use. For the EQS 450+, the main focus is long-distance driving, including a range of more than 920 km and significantly shorter charging times. Mercedes is also upgrading rear-seat comfort while deliberately keeping the EQS distinct from the S-Class.

A Swedish real-world test shows that many modern infotainment systems are not faster to operate despite their large, high-resolution displays, but are instead more cumbersome. Menus, start-up times and the lack of buttons are particularly distracting, while balanced concepts combining touchscreens and physical controls perform better.
