Mercedes Accelerates EV Push With 2027 Electric E‑Class and Upgraded EQS SUV

Press reports highlight a move to 800‑volt platforms that pairs MB.OS with in‑house motors.

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.
