Mercedes-Benz is preparing to reduce its model lineup for the 2027 model year. A Mercedes-Benz representative told Car and Driver that production of the EQE sedan in both standard and AMG versions, the Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance, and the Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV will be discontinued.<\/p>\n
This will be one of the company\u2019s steps toward revising its model strategy and integrating electric powertrains into model families familiar to buyers.<\/p>\n
The company is gradually moving away from creating separate electric counterparts to vehicles with internal combustion engines and aims to integrate electric powertrains directly into established model families. Mercedes-Benz has already launched the electric CLA, while an electric version of the C-Class is expected in the future. At the same time, Mercedes-Benz has not yet announced which model will replace the Maybach EQS 680 SUV.<\/p>\n
It is possible that other models will also be removed from the Mercedes-Benz lineup in the future as part of this strategy.<\/p>\n
In addition to the electric models, the hybrid Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance will also leave the lineup. The sedan currently uses a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 combined with a plug-in hybrid system. The powertrain produces a combined 791 hp and 1,430 Nm of torque.<\/p>\n
After production of the S63 ends, there will be a gap among the most powerful versions of the S-Class, meaning the S63 name could potentially return in the future. The company continues to develop V8 engines for its high-performance vehicles, while a Mercedes-Benz representative previously said that V8 engines will remain in production for at least another 10 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":152286,"menu_order":0,"template":"","newscat":[9],"newstag":[],"issues":[],"class_list":["post-152285","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-novosti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/152285","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/152286"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=152285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newscat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newscat?post=152285"},{"taxonomy":"newstag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newstag?post=152285"},{"taxonomy":"issues","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issues?post=152285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
