Overview
- The electric E‑Class is reported to be pulled forward to around 2027, with coverage citing a switch to the MB.EA‑M platform because cell‑to‑body batteries for MB.EA‑L are not yet production‑ready.
- A major EQS SUV facelift is expected to debut at IAA Mobility in autumn 2025 with a market start targeted for spring 2026, focusing on an EVA2M upgrade that enables 800‑volt charging.
- Reporting outlines faster DC charging claimed at over 320 kW with roughly 10–80% in about 20 minutes and a revised fifth‑generation battery around 118 kWh usable capacity for the EQS SUV.
- New eATS 2.0 electric drive units developed in‑house are said to be coming, with a two‑speed rear gearbox for the EQS SUV and indicative outputs near 340 PS (RWD) and 489 PS (AWD).
- Mercedes is expected to introduce its MB.OS centralized software stack with over‑the‑air updates and planned Level‑3 Drive Pilot integration, while prototypes and early price estimates (around €60,000 for the E‑Class EV) remain unconfirmed.
