Overview
- Heavily camouflaged prototypes photographed in Europe reveal traditional door handles, mirrors at the A‑pillar base, a longer body and a flatter beltline.
- Covered exhaust outlets and overall proportions indicate the car is an EV mule rather than a facelifted gasoline E‑Class.
- Mercedes is expected to position the electric E‑Class as the EQE’s successor with a more conventional design language.
- Timing is reported for a 2027 debut, with potential technology overlap with the latest C‑ and GLC‑branded EVs.
- Separate reporting points to an MB.EA‑M platform under consideration and a revised roadmap, while interior, battery and powertrain specifics remain unconfirmed.
