The 2025 Mercedes EQE SUV brings practical luxury to Ottawa drivers seeking an electric vehicle that excels in our unique climate and urban environment. From navigating winter storms to managing daily commutes between Kanata and downtown, this sophisticated SUV delivers compelling advantages that make the transition to electric driving seamless. Your everyday drives through the National Capital Region take on new refinement with this purposefully designed luxury electric SUV.
Superior Winter Performance
Ottawa winters demand exceptional vehicle capability, and the EQE SUV delivers with standard features that tackle our challenging conditions. The advanced heat pump system maintains optimal cabin temperature while preserving range, a crucial advantage when temperatures drop below -20°C. This technology pairs with the sophisticated all-wheel drive system, providing up to 402 horsepower and 633 lb-ft of torque for confident handling on snowy Riverside Drive or icy Bronson Avenue.
The AIRMATIC air suspension system offers up to 30 millimetres of additional ground clearance, helping you navigate snow-covered streets and steep parking garage entrances at places like the Rideau Centre. This adaptable system automatically adjusts to road conditions, ensuring comfortable driving throughout Ottawa's diverse seasonal conditions.
Smart Urban Design
Urban flexibility defines the EQE SUV's character in Ottawa's downtown core. The optional rear-axle steering system reduces the turning circle to 10.5 metres, making it remarkably easy to navigate tight spaces in the Byward Market or along Elgin Street. The SUV's exterior dimensions balance presence with practicality, offering generous interior space while maintaining urban-friendly proportions.
The advanced parking assistance features prove invaluable in busy areas like Lansdowne Park or the parliamentary precinct. Multiple cameras provide clear visibility, while automated parking support helps you manage parallel parking situations along Wellington Street or in crowded shopping areas.
Range and Charging Intelligence
The EQE SUV's range reaches up to 425 kilometres, easily handling weekly commutes between Orléans and Kanata without charging. The Navigation with Electric Intelligence system optimizes your route based on real-time conditions, including weather impacts and charging station availability throughout the National Capital Region.
DC fast-charging capability at 170 kW means quick charging stops add significant range during your busy schedule. The navigation system integrates seamlessly with charging stations across Ottawa and Gatineau, ensuring you always know your next charging opportunity.
Premium Family Space
Family comfort takes priority with thoughtful interior design and versatile cargo capacity. The cabin offers up to 1,675 litres of cargo space with folded rear seats, accommodating everything from weekend shopping at Trainyards to sports equipment for tournaments in Nepean. The sophisticated climate control system includes multi-zone settings, ensuring comfort for all passengers during long drives to Mont Tremblant or weekend trips to Toronto.
Advanced Technology Integration
The optional MBUX Hyperscreen transforms your command centre into an intuitive 141-centimetre digital display. This system adapts to your preferences, learning your routine and automatically suggesting helpful features like cabin pre-conditioning on cold Ottawa mornings. The comprehensive driver assistance package includes features that reduce stress during rush hour on the Queensway or in stop-and-go traffic along Carling Avenue.
Long-Term Value Proposition
Efficiency metrics tell a compelling story for the EQE SUV, achieving 2.8 Le/100 km in city driving, according to NRCan. This outstanding efficiency translates to estimated annual energy costs of $940, significantly lower than conventional luxury SUVs. The comprehensive warranty coverage and reduced maintenance requirements of electric drive technology provide additional peace of mind for your long-term ownership experience.
