Mercedes-Benz to launch EQE electric saloon in 2022
Firm's sixth electric model will pack two motors, exceed 400bhp and have a
range of 370 miles
Benz 推出的第六款电动车将会有双马达、动力超过400bhp、续航力595公里。
One of ex-Mercedes-Benz chairman Dieter Zetsche’s final acts in power was to
sign off on the firm’s sixth electric model: the EQE.
The new upmarket saloon is scheduled to go on sale in 2022 and will compete
directly with the Tesla Model S in terms of price. Details of the EQE have
been cited in documents recently made public by the Chinese Ministry of
Information and Technology in which the EQE is referred to under its internal
codename, V295.
这辆新的高级房车将在2022上市销售，并且其价格会与Tesla Model S 做直接竞
争。一份最近由中国工信部公布的文件透露了EQE 的详细资讯，EQE 的内部代号
为V295。
The EQE is one of 10 new electric models destined for sale from Mercedes
under its EQ sub-brand by the end of 2025 in a development programme already
budgeted to cost up to €10 billion (￡8.7bn).
EQE 是Mercedes 投入超过100亿欧元的EQ 子品牌于2025年前推出的10款电动车款
其中之一。
On top of this, the German car maker has announced the investment of a
further €20bn (￡17.4bn) in battery cell technology. Electric models are
expected to account for more than a quarter of all Mercedes’ sales by the
middle of the next decade.
此外，这家德国车厂已经宣布将要于电池技术领域再投资200亿欧元。预计在202x
年代中期，电动车款将占Mercedes 总销量的1/4 以上。
Zetsche said: “Our electric offensive continues to gain momentum. We are now
taking the next step.”
The EQE will follow the recently introduced EQC, next year’s new EQA and
EQV, the flagship EQS and the recently confirmed EQB into Mercedes showrooms
in the UK.
EQE 将会在最近推出的EQC、明年要推出的EQA和EQV、旗舰EQS、和最近才确认的
EQB 之后进入英国的Mercedes 展间。
A sibling model to the larger and more luxurious EQS due out in 2021, the EQE
will also be the second Mercedes to be based on the company’s new MEA
electric car platform. Set to make extensive use of aluminium, it is designed
to give future EQ electric models a flat floor structure for added packaging
flexibility and what Mercedes insiders have described as “class-leading
interior space”.
更大更豪华的EQS 将要在2021年推出，EQE 做为其兄弟车型，也将会是使用Mercedes
的新电动车平台MEA 的第二款车。该平台大量使用铝材、提供平面地板结构、增
加组装灵活性以及拥有Mercedes 内部人士所称的"一流内部空间"。
One source said: “The EQE will be shorter in length than today’s E-Class
but offer space comparable to the existing S-Class.”
一位消息人士说："EQE的车长将比今天的E class 更短，但其空间可与现有的S class
相媲美。"
As our image shows, the EQE will evolve the shape of the upcoming facelifted
E-Class with a focus on aerodynamic efficiency. It will adopt a face inspired
by the rest of the EQ line-up, and is expected to sit lower to the ground
with a ride height adjusting depending on the road conditions.
就像我们的图片所示，EQE 将会把目前即将要改款的E class 的外观进化，着重
在空气动力学的效率。他的前脸灵感来自于EQ 车系的其他车款，而且预计会随着
路况而调整车身高度。

The EQC, EQA, EQV and EQB are based around existing platform structures that
are shared with, respectively, the GLC, A-Class, V-Class and upcoming GLB.
EQC、EQA、EQV 和EQB 基于现有的平台，分别与GLC、A class、V class和即将推
出的GLB 共享架构。
(注：个人不建议买这种与燃油车共享平台的电动车，空间跟续航相对不佳。)
Like the EQS, the EQE will be sold from the outset with four-wheel drive,
with power coming from two electric motors – one mounted up front providing
drive to the front wheels and a second driving the rear wheels.
如同EQS，EQE 一开始将会先推出双马达四驱车款，一个马达驱动前轮、一个驱动
后轮。
To broaden the car’s appeal, Mercedes is also considering a rear-wheel-drive
version of its new EQ model, although it is unlikely to be made available
until 2022, according to sources familiar with the company’s electric car
strategy.
也有消息指出，为了增加吸引力，Mercedes 也在考虑替EQ 系列车款推出后驱版，
不过不太可能在2022年之前推出。
Although it is still early days, power and torque are expected to eclipse the
402bhp and 564lb ft of the new EQC.
虽然现在还早，不过(EQE的)动力与扭力预计将会超过EQC 的402bhp、564lb。
Among the features being touted for the EQE are active air suspension and
four-wheel steering, as well as safety features incorporated into Mercedes’
new ESF experimental research vehicle, including level three autonomous
driving functions.
EQE 的功能包括主动空气悬吊、四轮转向、以及新的Mercedes ESF 实验性安全功
能，包括LV3 自动驾驶功能。
Developments in battery cell technology are expected to provide the EQE with
a range of close to 373 miles (600km).
另外预计电池技术的发展将可使EQE 的续航力接近600公里。
Production of the EQE is scheduled to take place at Mercedes’ new Factory 56
in Germany – the same site earmarked to produce the EQS.
EQE 将于Mercedes 在德国的新工厂Factory 56 生产，该厂也用于生产EQS。
The EQE will also be produced at a new €1.5bn (￡1.3bn) site being
constructed by Mercedes in partnership with its Chinese joint-venture partner
in Beijing at the rate of up to 70,000 units per year from 2022.
另外EQE 也会在位于北京与其中国合资伙伴投资了15亿欧元合作兴建的工厂生产，
2022年起产能最高每年可达7万辆。

中国工信部所公布的部分文件如下：

可以看到代号V295 的EQE 非常的重，车重达到了2710kg
目前的E class 车重约为1690 ~ 1990kg
S class 也不过1970 ~ 2360kg
在车长短于E class、大量使用铝材的状况下
EQE 还会这么的重到底是为何让人很好奇，是因为使用大量金属去保护电池组吗？
另外EQE 应该是传统豪华车厂第一款真正要与Tesla Model S 竞争的车款
Model S 不是今年年底就是明年初会大改款
就看EQE 与改款后的Model S 相较起来如何了
另外关于Model S 改款的rumor
据说会有三马达、更大更轻的电池组、EPA续航力超过400英里(650公里)
