The Mercedes EQE is a deeply impressive electric saloon that majors on comfort, luxury and technology packaged up in a sleek, coupe-like design. It also boasts one of the longest electric vehicle ranges of any car on the market. It’s a little brother to the ultra-luxurious Mercedes EQS, both in terms of looks and price, and will eat up the miles for any motorway cruise, just like any other Mercedes-Benz combustion-engine executive saloons.

Key highlights

The most impressive feature of the EQE all-electric saloon is the interior. High-quality materials combine with comfortable seats and the latest technology to make the EQE a truly luxurious place to be for any journey. There’s more than enough space in the back for work colleagues or family members, and the 435-litre boot will comfortably swallow your holiday suitcases or golf clubs.

Performance and range

Across all versions of the EQE is the 99kWh battery, which delivers an impressive near-400 miles of range. A maximum 170kW charging rate also means you can top up in minutes using the GRIDSERVE Electric Highway. The EQB has a single electric motor with power outputs of 300 or 350, good for 0-62mph times of 7.4 and 6.4 seconds, respectively. A dual motor AMG 53 version is also available for those who crave more performance. Entry-level spec is the AMG Line with tech and kit increasing as you move up to Premium, Premium Plus and Exclusive Luxury.
