Mercedes is withdrawing the EQE, EQE SUV, and EQS SUV. Only the EQS remains from the EVA II family.
Mercedes-Benz has quietly discontinued orders for three major electric vehicles: the EQE sedan, EQE SUV, and EQS SUV. The German configuration tool no longer allows customers to customize these models, forcing them to choose only from pre-produced vehicles already in stock. There is no official confirmation from Stuttgart yet, but everything suggests the end of these three models. Out of the four large vehicles based on the EVA II platform, only the EQS sedan remains.
The same change has affected the configuration tools in France, the UK, and the Netherlands. The situation is similar in Poland as well: Mercedes’ website no longer offers a configuration tool for these models, with only available units and a “get a quote” button provided.
EQS sedan stays, EQS SUV in doubt
EVA II is a platform designed from the start for electric vehicles. The EQE sedan launched in 2022, followed by the EQE SUV at the end of the same year, and shortly after that the EQS SUV. Mercedes does not plan any upgrades similar to those given to the flagship model for both EQE models, so their production is nearing an end.
The EQS sedan underwent a major facelift in April 2026. It received an 800 V architecture, new engines, and a larger battery, with the EQS 450+ offering up to 926 km of range according to WLTP standards. The EQS SUV is based on the same technology as the sedan, but the manufacturer has not announced any similar upgrades such as 800 V systems and other new features for it. Since it has also disappeared from individual orders, it is unlikely to continue in its current form for much longer.
Electric vehicles are getting classic names and the MB.EA-M platform
Mercedes is abandoning its separate EQ family with its own distinct style. The new electric models carry traditional names and resemble their gasoline counterparts. This is the case with the electric Class C and electric GLC, which are built on the newer MB.EA-M platform equipped with an 800 V system. The electric Class E is set to debut in the second half of 2027 and will eventually replace the EQE sedan.
The new 800 V models are actually selling better than Mercedes had anticipated. In October, we reported that there is a waiting period of about six months for the electric CLA and GLC, and sales executive Mathias Geisen did not hide his surprise at the demand.
EQC, EQB, and EQA left earlier
The first was the EQC, Mercedes’ first mass-produced modern electric vehicle. The last unit rolled off the production line in Bremen in the second quarter of 2023, and by July 2024, all remaining stock had been sold. The EQB was removed from the configurator in September 2025, and by the end of the year, the factory in Kecskemét, Hungary, fulfilled any remaining orders, after which the plant was set to shift to models based on the MMA platform. The successor is the new electric GLB. In April 2026, the EQA was taken off the configurator, with the last orders in Rastatt scheduled to be fulfilled by June, and it is being replaced by the electric GLA, whose mass production has already begun.
Out of the six models in the first generation of EQs, only one remains after just over three years.
