Mercedes-Benz has confirmed that it will stop selling the EQE sedan in the United States for the 2027 model year, according to a statement from a brand spokesperson reported by Car and Driver. Alongside the EQE sedan, the Maybach trim of the EQS SUV will also be removed from the American market. This decision follows a decline in sales across several key regions, including the United States, China, and Europe. In the United States, sales of the EQE sedan and SUV variants fell sharply. According to data from Cox Automotive, 4,388 units were sold in 2025, compared to 11,660 in 2024. For the EQE sedan alone, sales dropped to 2,100 units in 2025, a 62% decrease from the previous year. This trend continued into 2026, with the EQE selling fewer than 724 units in the first half of the year—a further 68% decline. In China, sales of the EQE were reportedly fewer than 2,800 units last year, and in Europe, registrations of the EQE sedan from January to July 2026 totaled 2,858, down from 5,969 during the same period in 2025. The drop in sales is linked to the EQE’s design, which featured an ultra-aerodynamic water-drop silhouette intended to reduce drag and improve the car's range. However, this design was not well received by traditional Mercedes-Benz customers and did not attract buyers in Asia. The visual style of the car became a barrier to sales, making it too costly to continue production. Mercedes-Benz is planning to replace the EQE with a new large electric sedan that will be based on the 800 V MB.EA-M architecture, a platform also used in the electric GLC. This new model is expected to launch in the second half of 2027 and will be nearly 5 meters long. It will not be called EQ anymore but will instead be integrated into the brand's lineup under a traditional name like "Classe E." The new design will have classic sedan features, including a long hood, a vertical grille, and a clearly defined trunk, which differs from the EQE’s more rounded look. The new platform is expected to significantly reduce charging times compared to the current generation.
