It seems that Inchcape Philippines is dead set on bringing over the entire portfolio of Mercedes-Benz electric vehicles to our market. Initially starting with the EQA, the EQB, and the EQE sedan, followed by the ultra-luxurious EQS sedan, it is now the turn of the EQE SUV to join the fray.

Offered solely in the EQE350+ SUV AMG Line trim (what a mouthful), this five-seater electric SUV will cost you a cool P7,190,000.

Measuring 4,863mm long, 1,940mm wide, and 1,685mm tall, this midsize electric SUV is the perfect in-betweener for those who want to ferry around a small family and a generous amount of cargo.

Standard on the AMG Line exterior are sporty bits all around, including 21-inch AMG multi-spoke light-alloy wheels, Digital Light matrix LED headlamps, and 3D helix taillights.

As with Mercedes-Benz models, it’s chock-full of luxurious features. Up front and center is the Hyperscreen, a 56-inch glass dashboard comprised of three screens that run the MBUX software. It supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, with a wireless charger and several USB-C ports.

Also present are 15-speaker Burmester 3D surround-sound system that pairs nicely with the ambient lighting, a panoramic glass roof, a Mercedes-Benz fragrance system, and climate-controlled massaging seats.

These seats are upholstered in Nappa leather and are available in many different hues, alongside AMG Line metal accents with wood trim.

Thanks to a wheelbase of 3,030mm, the interior has a lot of space to work with, especially with a cargo capacity of 580L that can expand up to 1,675L when the 40:20:40-split rear seats are folded down.

Additional tech from the Driver Assistance Plus Package include a heads-up display, a 360° camera with parking assistance, lane-keeping assist with active steering, automatic emergency braking, driver monitoring, blind-spot monitoring, and cruise control with stop-and-go assist.

Powering it all is a single rear-mounted electric motor with 292hp and 565Nm. It’s mated to a 96kWh battery that’s capable of being charged rapidly via DC fast charging.

Performance figures include a 0-100km/h sprint of 6.9 seconds, a top speed of 210km/h, and an estimated range of up to 628km from a single charge. Finally, the air suspension with adaptive dampers aids a comfortable ride.

It is available in 10 different colors: Black, Emerald Green, High-Tech Silver, Obsidian Black, Polar White, Selenite Gray, Sodalite Blue, Velvet Brown, Manufaktur Alpine Gray Solid, and Manufaktur Opalite White Bright.

Included in the sticker price is a 7.4kW home charger with a charging cable for plugging it into any standard socket.
