Video Summary
Here's a summary of the video review:The Mercedes-Benz EQE is an all-electric sedan positioned below the EQS, similar to the E-Class in Mercedes' lineup. It starts at approximately $76,000.
The exterior design is aerodynamic with a low drag coefficient, but its "jelly bean" shape may not appeal to everyone. The front features lots of Mercedes-Benz logos and standard LED headlights.
There is no frunk. It’s not possible to see the electric motor.
The overall length and width are roughly the same as a Tesla Model S.
The EQE's wheelbase is 7.5 inches longer than a gas-powered E-Class, pushing the wheels further into the corners.
Performance:
The EQE 350 4MATIC has a 90.6 kWh battery and dual electric motors producing 215 kW (288 horsepower) and 564 lb-ft of torque. The EPA-estimated range is 260 miles, and it goes from 0-60 in 6 seconds.
The EQE 350 with rear-wheel drive has the same battery and motor but a longer range of 305 miles. Torque drops to 391 lb-ft and 0-60 increases to 6.2 seconds.
The EQE 500 is dual-motor all-wheel drive with 300 kW total power, a 260-mile range, 402 horsepower, 633 lb-ft of torque, and a 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds.
The AMG EQE has a 225-mile range and boasts 677 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. It can do 0-60 in 3.2 seconds.
Interior:
It features a 12.8-inch screen and a 12.3-inch OLED screen. The MBUX user interface is well-executed. Climate controls are always accessible, even when on other screens. It has standard 3D audio.
The test car, the loaded Pinnacle trim priced at $93,000, includes a head-up display and supple leather seats, and lots of USB-C charging ports.
Visibility from the driver's seat, particularly out the rear window, is poor.
Pros:
Comfortable, quiet cabin.
Smooth ride.
High-end technology.
Cons:
The base model's power output is inadequate for its size and price.
Brake pedal programming takes getting used to.
Overall, the styling may not appeal to all buyers.
