Watch: Here’s How To Open The Boot Of The New Mercedes-Benz EQE Electric SUV
Mercedes-Benz has recently launched the EQE electric SUV in India at Rs 1.39 crore (ex-showroom)
The Mercedes-Benz EQE electric SUV is the carmaker's fourth all-electric offering in the current Indian lineup. It has been introduced in a single, fully-loaded, all-wheel-drive (AWD) variant, priced at Rs 1.39 crore (ex-showroom). Though it has a host of features to make your life convenient, there are some quirky details as well, such as how to access the boot. We recently had this electric SUV with us, and here’s how to open the tailgate of this car.
Just Press The Logo
As shown in the video, opening the boot lid of the Mercedes-Benz EQE electric SUV is as simple as pressing the 'Mercedes' logo on the upper side, and it opens automatically. To close the boot, just press the provided close button on the lower part of the tailgate.
This process of pressing the logo to open the boot lid is similar to that of the Volkswagen Polo. The only difference here is that the EQE electric SUV features a powered tailgate.
