MERCEDES-AMG EQE SUV
Judging Questions
“Fast and steady wins the race,” says the headline on the Mercedes-Benz website, taken from Aesop’s ancient fable The Tortoise and the Hare. Doubtless referring to the indefatigable nature of AMG’s new EQ Series (and we suspect, not to acknowledge the vehicle’s testudinal appearance), this electric SUV from the Silver Star delivers performance belying its prosaic form. Embracing the jellybean look and SOTA technology of the future, this mid-size family wagon seats five adults and is the first all-electric SUV from Mercedes-AMG. It does just about everything well, with an emphasis on luxury and safety, in silence and without a thirst for fuel.
