The long-awaited Mercedes-Benz EQE electric SUV has finally been released for the Indian market. The most expensive trim for the country’s only all-electric car, the 500 4Matic, costs Rs 1.39 crore (ex-showroom). This electric SUV joins the EQS and EQB electric cars that are currently on sale in the premium German automaker’s Indian lineup.
It also has a global sedan sibling in the form of the EQE sedan, which is built on the EVA (electric vehicle architecture) platform of the business. The battery pack in the SUV is covered by a 10-year or 2.5-lakh-kilometer warranty and will be delivered via CBU. The manufacturer recommends servicing the EV once every two years.
