We heard about the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV for the first time in December 2020 when the German automaker announced the all-electric EQE sedan will receive a high-riding version. A number of prototypes were later caught by our spy photographers testing with production bodies and significant amounts of disguise. Today, we can finally show you the zero-emissions luxury SUV without any camouflage months before its official debut.
Our spies caught this test car at a Mercedes test facility near Stuttgart where the automaker is conducting crash tests. This EQE SUV also appears to be a crash test vehicle, judging by the orange color and white front bumper. Also, there’s some damage visible to the front fascia, which likely means the EV has already been involved in some crash test sessions. The panel gaps, especially those surrounding the hood, don’t look good either.
