Labelled the EQE, the latest EV from Mercedes-Benz sees the maker take a significant step up in the family saloon segment. Following in the footsteps of its similar older sibling, the EQS, the EQE has sleek, aerodynamic styling and a radical, tech-focused interior.
“We call it ‘one bow’ design,” says Bastian Baudy, team leader of exterior design for Mercedes-Benz. “Combustion cars usually have that three-box silhouette, but here with that one line you describe the overall silhouette of the car,” he says, glancing over the car on a remote hillside, overlooking Iceland’s dramatic, lunar landscape.
