The 2027 Mercedes-Benz EQE 320 4MATIC SUV adds a second electric motor and fully variable all-wheel drive to Mercedes-Benz's midsize electric SUV. The result is a 315-horsepower luxury vehicle with 564 lb-ft of torque and the additional traction of 4MATIC. For drivers facing everything from dry summer pavement to a Chicago snowstorm, that second motor changes the character of the EQE without turning it into a high-performance specialty model.

Dual permanently excited synchronous motors produce a combined 315 horsepower and 564 lb-ft of torque. The EQE 320 4MATIC SUV accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds. Its strongest performance number is the torque figure, and electric motors deliver that torque without waiting for an engine to build revs. The result is immediate, smooth response when pulling away from a stop or moving into an opening in highway traffic.

The 4MATIC system can continuously vary torque distribution between the front and rear axles. Mercedes also allows the front motor to decouple when it is not needed, reducing unnecessary drag in an effort to improve efficiency. When additional traction is required, it can re-engage in 100 milliseconds. It is an elegant solution to the traditional all-wheel-drive tradeoff between added traction and added energy consumption.

A 90.5-kWh battery supplies the dual-motor drivetrain. Maximum DC charging speed is 170 kW, and Mercedes lists approximately 32 minutes to charge from 10 to 80 percent under suitable conditions. AC charging is rated at 9.6 kW, with a zero-to-100-percent charging time of approximately 10.75 hours. MBUX Navigation with Electric Intelligence can help plan charging stops during longer trips.

The five-passenger interior provides between 14 and 55 cubic feet of cargo capacity. Standard 20-inch wheels give the EQE 320 4MATIC SUV a substantial stance without moving into oversized-wheel territory, while the four-wheel multilink suspension with selective damping and Comfort tuning keeps the emphasis on the quiet, composed ride expected from a Mercedes-Benz electric SUV.

This is also the version that makes an especially strong argument in the Chicago area. The ability to vary power between both axles gives the 4MATIC model an inherent advantage when pavement becomes slippery, while the front motor's ability to disconnect means it does not need to remain engaged simply because the vehicle has all-wheel drive. Winter tires remain the best partner for snow and ice, but the drivetrain itself is well suited to a region where road conditions can change quickly.

The 2027 Mercedes-Benz EQE 320 4MATIC SUV starts at $67,450, only $2,500 above the rear-wheel-drive EQE 320+ SUV. For that difference, buyers get dual motors, 4MATIC all-wheel drive and 564 lb-ft of torque. In the Midwest, that may be the easiest option box in the EQE lineup to check.
