The wait is over. Recently, the first example of a very exciting and important model from Mercedes rolled into Drammen Harbour.
We’re talking about the all-new (and electric) EQE SUV. This is the car that sits between the EQC, which has been on the market for a good number of years already, and the huge EQS SUV.
The Norwegian importer now states that the first customers will receive their cars towards the end of June and that the EQE SUV will be seen on Norwegian roads within just a few days.
Broom has driven the EQE SUV in Portugal. See our first impression at the bottom of the case.

The EQE SUV has a range of up to 550 kilometers, this applies to the EQE 500 4MATIC.
In Norway, 4MATIC four-wheel drive is standard, and through Torque Shift, the torque is continuously distributed between the front and rear axles.
