This business saloon cements our reputation as a manufacturer of class-leading, technologically advanced luxury vehicles in the EV (electric vehicle) space,&#8221; said Raine.<\/p>\n<p>The EQE launched will be initially available in luxury 350+ and the more sporty AMG 43 format.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mercedes South Africa, the Germany-produced EQE offers a fully charged driving range of up to 645km and offers all the essential functions of the EQS in a slightly more compact format.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Compared to the luxury liner EQS, the EQE is even more streamlined, with a slightly shorter wheelbase, shorter overhangs and more recessed flanks,&#8221; Raine said.<\/p>\n<p>Pricing for the two versions will be at the following estimated prices:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mercedes EQE 350+ &#8211; R1,800,000<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Mercedes-AMD EQE 43 4Matic &#8211; R2,200,000<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;This includes a PremiumDrive Platinum 5-year\/100,000 km maintenance plan and a 10-year battery warranty. Final pricing will be confirmed shortly,&#8221; said the car manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p>The fully electric engine allows for both models to reach a top speed of 210km\/hr and are equipped with a 90.56kW battery pack.<\/p>\n<p>EQEs will be able to charge from 10 to 80% in 32 minutes if plugged into a consistent 170kW DC charger.<\/p>\n<p>The standard configured EQE 350+ is said to be powered by a single, rear-mounted electric motor, generating 215kW of power and 565Nm of torque. The AMG 4Matic will, however, put out slightly more with 350kW of power and 858Nm of torque.<\/p>\n<p>Mercedes told <strong><a
