Two all-wheel-drive versions will be displayed in the Canadian catalogue: the EQE 350 with 288 hp and the EQE 500 with 402 hp in total. The maximum range targeted is around 550 km in the European measurement cycle (WLTP). We will therefore have to wait a little longer to find out what the North American figures will be.

Moreover, the passenger compartment can be equipped with a huge 141 cm OLED screen which occupies almost the entirety of the dashboard. Rolling will be improved by the option of air springs which can slightly increase ground clearance.
Production of the EQE SUV will begin in December at the Tuscaloosa, Alabama assembly plant.
