Competitor of Tesla and BMW, a completely electric Mercedes E-Class is in development and will be on the market by 2027, Mercedes-Benz stated at its Capital Market Day presentation. The vehicle is anticipated to have new features, a longer range, and premium specifications. The German brand has also revealed information on a smaller version of the G-Class and the S-Class facelift, Autocar has reported.
Mercedes-Benz has announced plans to launch the E-Class EV by 2027, expanding its electric lineup as part of its broader push toward electrification. This new model is expected to sit alongside the existing EQE but might offer a more traditional E-Class design while incorporating advanced EV technologies.
Key expectations for the E-Class EV include:
Next-gen battery technology for extended range and faster charging.
Enhanced MBUX infotainment system with AI-driven features.
Improved autonomous driving capabilities, possibly reaching Level 3 autonomy in some regions.
A focus on luxury and performance, maintaining the E-Class reputation while offering a greener alternative.
Mercedes is clearly positioning itself to cater to both loyal E-Class buyers and the growing EV market.
The company has already discussed creating a scaled-down version of its G-Class SUV. Mercedes aims to increase the number of SUVs in its lineup with the introduction of the G-Class electric, formally known as the G 580 with EQ Technology. The new SUV will include a four-wheel drive, an internal combustion engine (ICE), and an all-electric drivetrain.
In a few countries, Mercedes might also sell the "baby" G as a plug-in hybrid. For distinctiveness, the future small G-Class's nameplate will read "g" rather than "G". Similar to the facelift for the S-Class, the Manufaktur package will be available here. For comparison, the AMG G 63 costs Rs 3.64 crore, while the G 580 costs Rs 3 crore.
