Street Sophistication

The Mercedes EQE dresses like a luxury saloon that traded a tux for a spacesuit: low, long and smooth, with a coupe-like roofline and a confident 4.95‑metre footprint that looks smaller in traffic than it measures on the road. LED lighting and tight panel gaps give the car a premium presence without shouting, while the aerodynamic shape directly helps range and cabin quietness. Mercedes offers multiple EQE variants spanning calm rear‑wheel‑drive cruisers to high‑output AMG versions, so buyers can pick between efficiency and outright pace without changing model families.

Cabin: First‑Class Settings

The interior combines soft surfaces, satin trims and ambitious screens to feel more limousine than lab experiment, with materials and switchgear that generally match Mercedes’ executive intent. The dashboard can be dominated by the optional Hyperscreen, which folds instrument cluster, infotainment and passenger display into one sweeping glass element that simplifies many functions but can overwhelm newcomers. Practical touches such as comfortable multi‑way seats and extensive ambient lighting make daily life easy, while Mercedes’ voice assistant handles many tasks hands‑free for a less fussy experience on the move.

Room for Real Life

Space is generous for four adults: five seats are fitted but the middle rear is best left to short trips, while the long wheelbase translates into good legroom even for taller passengers. The 430‑litre boot swallows a weekender or a couple of large suitcases but won’t beat an estate for bulky cargo, so families who need maximum load space should check before committing. The EQE’s curb weight sits around the mid‑2,300–2,500 kg range, which is felt in the car’s composed momentum and explains why packaging prioritises comfort over lightness.

On the Road: Composed and Capable

Driveability covers a wide spectrum depending on specification — quiet, efficient rear‑wheel‑drive versions deliver smooth, relaxed acceleration while dual‑motor or AMG derivatives thrust the EQE toward sports‑car territory with 0–100 km/h times dropping from roughly 6.9 seconds down to about 3.5 seconds. Handling is tuned for comfort first, so body control is accompanied by forgiving ride compliance rather than razor‑sharp change of direction; steering is precise enough for confident lane changes but remains fairly light. Brake and torque delivery are predictable, making the car easy to exploit in fast traffic and reassuring on motorways or in bad weather when all‑wheel drive is fitted.

Range Reality: What the Battery Means

Battery choices sit in the low‑to‑mid 90 kWh class and official consumption spans roughly 15.8–20.7 kWh/100 km, which produces WLTP ranges claimed between about 500 and 690 km depending on model and drive layout. In everyday mixed driving expect those numbers to drop—city use and mild climates can approach the optimistic figures, whereas sustained motorway speeds, cold weather and heavier AMG variants will reduce real range by a noticeable margin. For daily commuting and long trips the EQE offers a useful balance of capacity and efficiency, but planning charging stops on long journeys remains part of the routine for heavy‑footed drivers.

Tech: The Screeny Butler and the Invisible Copilot

Infotainment is modern and feature‑rich: MBUX provides rapid route guidance, live services, smartphone integration and the familiar “Hey Mercedes” voice control that reduces menu diving. Advanced driver aids support long stretches of highway with adaptive cruise, lane centration and semi‑automated steering that amount to Level‑2 assistance in practice, easing fatigue on long drives but not replacing driver attention. Over‑the‑air updates and a suite of connectivity options keep the car feeling current, while intuitive physical controls for climate and driving modes protect usability when the screens are not the right tool for the task.

Buyer Profile: Who Should Consider the EQE?

The EQE suits buyers who want a near‑S‑Class ambience without the full flagship bulk — executives and tech‑minded couples who value a quiet, luxurious cabin, strong electric range and a comfortable highway ride. Those seeking outright sportiness can opt for high‑power AMG variants, while economy‑focused buyers can choose rear‑wheel‑drive versions that stretch WLTP figures toward the top of the class. Shoppers who need maximum cargo flexibility or the cheapest entry price will find better alternatives, but for a refined, well‑equipped electric saloon the EQE is a compelling, well‑rounded choice.
