Last week Volkswagen revealed plans to create a bunch of new electric vehicles and now it’s being reported that Mercedes-Benz is working on a new sub-brand for its future EVs. Following BMW with its i- sub-brand, Mercedes-Benz is currently finalizing plans for a new sub-brand that will enter the market with two electric sedans and two electric SUVs.
According to sources, Mercedes-Benz hasn’t finalized the name for its new sub-brand, but we will get to see the first electric model next month at the Paris Motor Show. Mercedes-Benz hasn’t revealed any details about the electric model, but it’s rumored that it will be an SUV with a driving range over 300 miles.
