Mercedes Restarts U.S. Sales of EQE and EQS for 2026 as Electric CLA Arrives

Mercedes says the relaunch aligns supply to U.S. demand, highlighting Alabama output plus NACS Supercharger access.

Overview

  • A Mercedes-Benz USA spokesperson confirmed the EQE and EQS, in both sedan and SUV forms, are back in production and open for U.S. dealer orders after a fall hiatus.
  • U.S. orders were paused last summer, but the company kept building vehicles for export during the domestic pause.
  • 2026 updates include added horsepower for EQE variants and a standard NACS adapter that enables access to Tesla Superchargers across the EQ lineup.
  • EQE and EQS SUVs are assembled in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, offering some tariff insulation, while the sedan versions are imported from Germany.
  • Mercedes’ all-electric CLA is entering the U.S. market now, with initial units at dealerships and deliveries set to scale this quarter.
