Mercedes-EQB SUV

The Mercedes-EQB is a fully electric SUV that offers everything you'd expect from Mercedes, a great driving experience, with the sustainability of an EV and the versatility of an SUV, and no shortage of luxury. With all these features, you get the best of all worlds on the road today in a mid-range SUV budget price point.

The EQB is through-and-through Mercedes-Benz elegance, from stunningly attractive body lines, futuristic LED headlights, and iconic front grille to the luxurious interior and expansive cargo space. Combined with seating for up to seven, this SUV focuses on comfort and spaciousness. The state-of-the-art high-resolution infotainment system comes standard at all trim levels and expands your driving experience, taking it to the next level without distraction or interference.

ADAS features like adaptive cruise control, backup camera, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, and blind spot monitoring are also available to supplement standard safety systems, like seat belts and airbags.

The EQB SUV is available in three configurations: 

• the EQB 250+
• the EQB 300 4MATIC®
• the EQB 350 4MATIC® 

The EQB 250+ features a single electric motor, producing 188 horsepower and 284 lb.-ft. of torque. With the instant-on electric power on this model, you can expect a quick 0-60 time of about 8 seconds. Two hundred forty-five miles of range means the front-wheel drive EQB 250+ can get you where you want to go in luxury and comfort and includes creature comforts like dual-zone climate control. The hands-free power liftgate offers convenience on the go.

The 300 draws on all the features of the 250+, with upgrades to the motor and drivetrain configurations. Adding another electric motor, creating what's known as a dual electric motor setup, ups the horsepower to 225, and increases the torque to 288 lb.-ft. Added to the 300 is the 4MATIC® All Wheel Drive (AWD) drivetrain, expanding your travel possibilities and capabilities in a variety of driving conditions and terrain. This increase in power and expanded drivetrain capability has a minimal impact on effective range, with an estimated 243 miles per charge. The luxurious interior is complemented further by the addition of power memory seats.

The top-of-the-line EQB is the 350 4MATIC®. Offering the same drivetrain as the 300, the 350 features an upgraded dual motor setup, increasing the power output to 288 horsepower and 324 lb.-ft. of torque. This bumps the 0-60 time from 8 seconds to an impressive 6 seconds. This enhanced performance comes at the cost of a small range, with an estimated 227 miles per charge. Adding to the overall appeal of the 350 are the stylish 19" wheels and the panoramic sunroof to enjoy the view, and the convenient remote start and keyless entry that are included.

Mercedes-EQE Sedan

The EQE sedan combines the elegance of a sedan with the soul of a crossover utility vehicle. This perfect blend makes it an ideal pick for customers who want plenty of space without upgrading to a full-size SUV. Seating up to five passengers, the spacious cabin also offers lots of room for any cargo or belongings.

A sleek exterior draws the eye in, while intricate details bring a subtle touch of class to the profile. Embracing the hallmark luxury that Mercedes-Benz is known for, a selection of high-quality materials and features create a premium experience for the driver and passengers.

A comprehensive suite of cutting-edge technology helps you enjoy the journey, from customizable features and climate controls to premium audio and infotainment, including Android Auto, Apple Carplay, and Bluetooth connectivity. With innovative safety features designed to be supportive without distraction, you can be sure you'll get where you're going safely and securely. As a trailblazer in the industry, the PRE-SAFE feature seamlessly detects signs of instability on the road and predicts potential collisions or rollovers. If any concerns are detected, the system pretensioner seat belts adjust seat positions and close windows and moonroof to help with the ultimate protection for passengers.

The EQE sedan is available in four configurations: 

• the EQE 350+
• the EQE 350 4MATIC®
• the EQE 500 4MATIC®
• the AMG® EQE

With the allure of Mercedes-Benz quality in an electric car style, the base model EQE 350+ is an attractive choice for drivers who want luxury and efficiency. The 350+ offers a 305-mile estimated range, allowing for lengthier trips. With the integration of an electric motor, an automatic transmission, and a Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) drivetrain, this vehicle delivers a worthy 288 horsepower and 391 lb.-ft. of torque. A zippy 6.2 second 0 to 60 time allows for quick acceleration and an exhilarating drive. This comprehensive package can be further enhanced in the Premium, Exclusive, and Pinnacle trims with amenities like power memory seats with integrated heat and Eco Assist.

Drawing from the essence of the 350+, the EQE 350 4MATIC® combines the best features and adds in dual electric motors and the 4MATIC® All Wheel Drive (AWD) drivetrain. Boosting the torque to 564 lb.ft., the 0-60 time improves to 6.0 seconds, and the estimated range of 260 miles is still very respectable. The heated seats in the front get an upgrade to include massage functionality. Three standard available trims (Premium, Exclusive, and Pinnacle) present numerous options for personalized refinement.

If it's more power you desire, the EQE 500 4MATIC® is a solid choice. In addition to the 4MATIC® All Wheel Drive (AWD), the 500 features upgraded dual electric motors, producing 402 horsepower and an impressive 633 lb.ft of torque. Acceleration drops to 4.5 seconds in the 0-60, all while maintaining the same respectable 260-mile range as the 350 4MATIC®.

At the top sits the AMG® EQE. This stunning EQE model takes all of the features of the others and adds in a high-performance battery. With an awe-inspiring 617 horsepower, this configuration sees the 0-60 time drop to a mere 3.4 seconds. Other driving experience and performance upgrades include the AMG® Dynamic Plus Package, Dynamic Select, to allow a driver to change modes to suit driving conditions, and the AMG® Sound Experience for an unparalleled audio sound system performance.

Mercedes-EQE SUV

The EQE SUV is the larger wheelbase version of the EQE, sharing many of the same amenities in a larger package. Much like the EQE sedan, the SUV version still offers seating for up to five, with more room for a more comfortable ride. Depending on how many people are riding with you, there's also up to 55 cubic feet of cargo space. All this with the Mercedes-Benz luxury you'd expect in a larger size.

The EQE SUV is also capable of 3,500 lbs of towing capacity, more than capable of hauling a boat or small trailer. The options available in the SUV give you the power to work hard and play hard in the same vehicle, a feature many drivers will appreciate.

The EQE SUV is available in two configurations:

• the EQE 350+
• the EQE 340 4MATIC® SUV

The EQE 350+ is the foundation of the EQE lineup. With an impressive estimated range of 279 miles, it's ready for a road trip. Built based on a Dual Permanently Excited Synchronous (PSM) electric motor, performance is still powerful, producing 288 horsepower that tackles a 0 to 60 time in 6.3 seconds.

Taking the basis of the EQE 350+, the EQE 340 4MATIC® uses the same electric motor but upgrades the drivetrain from Rear Wheel Drive to the 4MATIC® All Wheel Drive (AWD) drivetrain. This offers security in every condition and terrain, giving the driver confidence in all weather. While slightly decreased, this model offers a still substantial estimated 253-mile driving range.

Mercedes-EQS Sedan

The Difference Between Mercedes-Benz Electric Cars and Hybrids

As vehicle technology has advanced over the past few decades, many of our customers wonder what the difference between hybrid vehicles and electric cars is. These two technologies are different approaches to achieving greater efficiency while also providing high-quality driving experiences.

A hybrid vehicle is one of the earliest approaches to implementing the idea of an electric vehicle and remains most similar to a traditional combustion-based engine. Hybrids use a dual motor system, an internal combustion engine for certain driving conditions, and a secondary electric motor. The electric motor works to recharge the battery via regenerative braking as well as the primary fuel engine. These vehicles will employ the battery for short trips and switch to the fuel-based engine after the battery has been depleted. A plug-in hybrid engine vehicle (PHEV) is similar but also offers the driver the option of plugging the vehicle into a traditional charger or wall outlet to recharge the battery.

Taking this idea one step further is an electric vehicle. These have only an electric motor to power the vehicle, with no fuel system required. This motor is recharged via wall or outlet power, or from regenerative braking while driving.

Whether you're looking for your first electric vehicle or considering upgrading, you may consider whether a Mercedes-EQ is right for your driving needs. Suppose you're searching for an innovative platform with vast technological offerings, a high-quality and luxurious interior, and a well-designed, elegant exterior. In that case, it may be the right choice for you.

The Benefits of Driving an Electric Mercedes-Benz in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Do you find yourself wondering if an electric vehicle is right for you? If taking a positive step in the fight against climate change, saving money at the gas pump, or just enjoying an enhanced driving experience sounds good, you are among the ranks of many electric vehicle buyers who were after the same thing.

Mercedes-Benz electric vehicles are the ultimate combination of luxury and efficiency, allowing drivers to minimize energy consumption without sacrificing comfort. No more expensive fill-ups at the gas pump and fewer moving/mechanical parts means relying less and less on oil and gas. With electric motors inherently having fewer moving parts, fewer wear parts are involved, meaning fewer maintenance and service appointments are required over the life of vehicle ownership.

Electric vehicles are a conscientious choice if lowering your carbon footprint is important. With low or no emissions from the tailpipe and little or no reliance on fossil fuels, not only does an electric vehicle allow you to play your part in minimizing climate change, but you'll be helping to reduce air and water pollution in your local community.

Without question, Mercedes-EQs, HEVs, PHEVs, and BEVs offer a positive driving experience. Electric motors mean minimal noise, a quiet drive, or a clearer listening experience of your in-car music choices. Nearly instant torque from the electric motors also means a satisfying performance response when you step on the accelerator.

Electric Cars and the Environment: A Cleaner Choice for Florida

One of the primary reasons for the development of electric vehicles was the desire to win the battle against pollution while simultaneously curbing emissions. HEVs (hybrid electric vehicles), PHEVs (plug-in hybrid electric vehicles), and BEVs (battery electric vehicles) all contribute to a world with less smog, the pursuit of zero emissions, and less reliance on fossil fuels. Mercedes-Benz is at the forefront of developing vehicles that will help play a part in the fight against climate change on a global scale, while locally, EVs can help minimize air and water pollution and contribute far less smog in your area.

Mercedes-Benz's Commitment to Sustainability

Mercedes-Benz is working to build eco-friendly vehicles for the luxury vehicle market. Their substantial commitment to sustainability includes the entire life cycle of their vehicles, from manufacturing at the factory to recycling used parts.

Mercedes-Benz aims to offer a carbon-dioxide-neutral new car fleet by 2039 as a part of its long-term sustainability road map. The first steps of this commitment are being demonstrated by their large selection of available electric SUVs and sedans.
