Offered in the 400 4Matic specification, the dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain generates 490hp and 800Nm of peak torque, propelling the 2.5-tonne chassis from rest to 100kph in 4.3 seconds. High-power direct-current charging replenishes up to 300km of driving range in 10 minutes.
The interior architecture centers around a continuous 39.1-inch MBUX Hyperscreen combining instrumentation, central infotainment, and front passenger displays on fourth-generation software, while retaining tactile switchgear across the console.
