Appearance-wise, the EQE has a face familiar to that of the EQS and gets a sloping roofline with an angled tailgate. Apart from this, other exterior highlights include a closed front grille, LED DRLs running across the width of the bonnet, digital LED headlamps, flush door handles, and 20-inch aero alloy wheels. In terms of dimensions, the EQE measures 4,863mm in length, 1,940mm in width, and 1,686mm in height. It has a boot space of 520 litres.

Other features will include a wireless charger, multi-zone climate control, and a panoramic sunroof. Moreover, it will come equipped with a Burmester surround sound system, heads-up display, 64-colour ambient lighting, and ventilated front seats.
