Mercedes Benz Malaysia proudly introduces its second model series to be based on the electric architecture which developed specifically for electric vehicles, the new EQE 350+ by Mercedes EQ.
The business saloon EQE 350+ based on the electric architecture for large vehicles EVA 2, similar to EQS 450+ offers all the essential functions of the EQS in a slightly more compact format.
Sagree Sardien, CEO & President of Mercedes-Benz Malaysia says, “2022 is an extremely important year in our electric initiative: with the introduction of the EQA, EQB, EQC, EQS and now EQE, we have the most comprehensive electric-vehicle portfolio here in Malaysia.
She added, “The Mercedes-EQ brand is pursuing a goal that is ambitious as it is clear: that we’ll build the most sustainable and most technically advanced cars in the world. By bringing responsible innovation to the road, we’re driving change.
The EQE is the latest example of this – and it will make a powerful contribution towards the future of mobility.”
Michael Jopp, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia added, “After
the EQS, the EQE is already the second model on our new platform for luxury segment. The EQE is the next all-purpose electric luxury sedan with the typical One-Bow-Signature Design creating fast lines and silhouette and through that a very aerodynamic and futuristic look.
All of this makes the car more flamboyant and entertaining, more extraordinary and defines the next level of luxury for the Mercedes-EQ brand.
Flush with the outer edge of the body, the 19-inch AMG light-alloy wheels, together with a pronounced muscular shoulder section, give the EQE an athletic character.
Efficient drive system with range of up to 669 kilometres
The battery in the EQE has a usable energy content of 90.56 kWh, and the range of up to 669 km according to WLTP is absolutely suitable for travelling.
All EQE models have an electric drivetrain (eATS) on the rear axle. The electric motors are
permanently excited synchronous motors (PSM). With the PSM, the rotor of the AC motor is fitted with permanent magnets and therefore does not need to be supplied with power.
The advantages of this design include high power density, high efficiency and high power constancy. The motor on the rear axle is particularly powerful due to its six-phase design: it has two windings with three phases each.
In the EQE, the lithium-ion battery consists of ten modules and has a usable energy content of 90.56 kWh. The innovative battery management software, developed in-house, allows updates over the air (OTA).
In this way, the energy management of the EQE remains up-to-date throughout the life cycle. In the case of the battery, a major step has been achieved in terms of the sustainability of the cell chemistry: the optimised active material consists of nickel, cobalt and manganese in a ratio of 8:1:1. This reduces the cobalt content to less than ten percent.
