Mercedes adjusts EV lineup in 2027
Out with the old, in with the new. Mercedes is discontinuing two electric vehicles and another plug-in hybrid from its US lineup in 2027.
The all-electric EQE sedan is one of them. A Mercedes-Benz spokesperson confirmed to Car and Driver that the EQE sedan is being dropped for the 2027 model year, including the performance AMG version.
Mercedes is also pulling the Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV, the flagship electric SUV that starts at $180,000.
And it doesn’t stop there. The company is also dropping the Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance, a high-performance plug-in hybrid that also starts at over $180,000.
While the Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan and SUV will remain available, they will likely be replaced shortly by next-gen models.
The EQ brand was Mercedes’ first-generation electric vehicles, which it is now replacing with more advanced EVs based on its MMA platform, like the new CLA sedan and GLB SUV.
The 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA EV is available in two variants: The 250+ rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and a more powerful 350 4MATIC all-wheel-drive (AWD) model.
Both use an 85 kWh battery pack, providing up to 374 miles of range in the RWD version. The 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ starts at $47,250, while the more powerful CLA 350 4MATIC starts at $49,800.
Mercedes’ new EV models adopt a more traditional design, closer to its gas-powered vehicles, with a massive grille and boxy proportions.
In the second half of 2027, the new 2028 Mercedes GLA will begin arriving at dealerships in electric and hybrid variants.
