Mercedes-Benz is reportedly preparing to remove several electrified models from its U.S. lineup for the 2027 model year, including the EQE, AMG EQE, Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV and AMG S63 E Performance.
Car and Driver, citing a company spokesperson, reports that the EQE and AMG EQE will be discontinued. The move would end the U.S. run of Mercedes’ electric executive sedan before the automaker introduces a new E-Class Electric with more conventional styling.
EQE and AMG EQE reportedly ending
The EQE 320+ was priced from $64,950 and produced 315 horsepower. Its claimed electric range reached as much as 308 miles. The performance-oriented AMG EQE started at $96,600 and used a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system rated at up to 677 horsepower when its boost function was activated.
With that additional output, the AMG EQE could reach 60 mph in 3.2 seconds. Its range was listed at 230 miles, lower than the standard EQE 320+.
Mercedes is working on an all-new E-Class Electric to take the EQE’s place. The upcoming model is described as having a more conventional exterior design, following the approach used by the fully electric C-Class.
Maybach EQS SUV and AMG S63 also affected
The Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV is also reportedly being discontinued. The luxury electric SUV started at $180,000 and used two electric motors producing 649 horsepower and 700 pound-feet of torque. A 118-kilowatt-hour battery supplied up to 300 miles of range.
Separately, the Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance is reportedly set to leave the lineup for 2027. The plug-in hybrid combined for 791 horsepower and 1,055 pound-feet of torque. Mercedes recently introduced a facelifted S-Class, adding to the expectation that a replacement AMG model could follow.
Car and Driver suggests the next AMG variant could arrive in roughly a year. The report also indicates that the replacement may abandon the current plug-in hybrid setup in favor of a powertrain based solely on a V8 engine, though those details have not been confirmed.
