Video Summary
Here is the requested summary:- The Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 4Matic is the smaller, all-wheel-drive variant of the EQE lineup and the smaller sibling to the EQS.
- The EQE is 3.5 inches shorter and costs $30-40,000 less than the EQS.
- Interior space and overall design are very similar to the EQS.
- The interior is a nice space with great feeling leather, expensive looks, and nice Alcantara accents.
- Interior electronics are standard Mercedes; tech-phobic drivers will have a difficult time.
- Everything is touch-based, and everything has haptic feedback; piano black plastics are abundant.
- The infotainment is MBUX, the latest version that is fast, reactive, and has a logical menu structure.
- A large standard tablet display comes on the EQE, but a distracting hyperscreen from the EQS is optional.
- The car has an all-digital gauge cluster with haptic controls covered in piano black on the steering wheel.
- The cabin is extraordinarily quiet with optional acoustic glass and aerodynamic treatments.
- Seats are heated and cooled in the 350 and reasonably comfortable.
- Visibility is compromised by the aerodynamic shape. The windshield is sloped and the rear view is limited.
- Rear occupant space has decent legroom, but headroom is compromised by the car's shape.
- The styling is subjective, but considered by some to be hideous.
- Steel front subframe suggests cost cutting while rear subframe is aluminum.
- It has a four-link front suspension like on an S-Class and EQS. It rides on an EVA architecture.
- With dual motors, the model tested produces less than 300 horsepower, with about 300 miles of range.
- Single rear motor configurations exist. AMG and 500 versions are available.
- Different suspension setups exist. An air ride suspension with adaptive dampers, is an option. A rear steer model allows for up to 10 degrees of rear wheel steering, which dramatically shrinks its turning circle.
- Regenerative brakes are included, depending on the mode the break pedal is pulled away from you when applied.
