Video Summary
Here's the summary of the electric car review:- This Mercedes EQE 350+ SUV base model is priced at $88,000.
- The vehicle offers optimal testing conditions with no wind and a 62-degree temperature; no microphone has been used while filming the test.
- The reviewer does not particularly favor any EQE design language.
- The test version comes with optional 21-inch AMG wheels with summer tires, sized 265/40.
- The SUV has 215kW power, with rear-wheel drive and a permanent magnet motor, equating to approximately 288 horsepower and slightly over 400 lb-ft of torque.
- It is said to have a decent torque, and the 0-60 time is about 6.2 seconds.
- Upping the model to the four-wheel drive version doesn’t change horsepower, but does split the power into two motors.
- It functions with premium traffic control driver assistance features with automatic lane changing.
- Notably, it lacks massaging seats and a heads-up display.
- The MBUX system operates well, with OLED screen.
- Charge times appear to take a long time with Mercedes.
- The reviewer hopes the styling is updated and finds the design to be bulbous and weird.
- The wireless phone charger is more like an oven, and not really a charger because the phone battery lost 10 percent.
- Overall, the car drives like a Mercedes.
- A charge point was missing panels, but the chargers work without any issues.
- It had a decent "handshake" time to connect to a charger.
- In theory, the car should provide 300 miles of driving.
- An EPA test should yield 279 miles.
- The highway range test came back at 282 miles.
- Drivers are required to monitor driver assistance features.
