The engine

Electric Motor

Electric Motor

A single rear- or front-mounted electric motor delivers smooth, immediate torque and quiet, refined cruising in Mercedes' rear-drive EQ models.

Part of Mercedes' EVA-platform EQ family, the drive unit is engineered for efficiency-first range rather than outright power, with the motor, gearbox and inverter packaged as one compact module.
