The Mercedes-Benz Eqe represents a significant stride in luxury electric vehicles, blending cutting-edge technology with the renowned comfort and sophistication expected from Mercedes-Benz. This overview delves into the key aspects of the EQE, drawing from manufacturer specifications and important details for potential owners.
The total price listed for the EQE begins with a starting price, which is then adjusted to include estimated taxes and fees. It’s important to note that this total price is subject to change. Factors influencing the final price include the location of both the dealership and the customer, current inventory levels, the specific vehicle features selected, and any applicable discounts or rebates. Adding extra features to your purchase will also impact the final cost. The displayed “Total Price” should be understood as an estimate to guide your initial understanding.
Performance figures, particularly acceleration rates, are based on estimations from manufacturer track testing. These stated acceleration times can vary. Real-world conditions such as model variations, environmental factors, road surface quality, driving style, elevation changes, and the vehicle’s load can all play a role in actual acceleration performance.
Fuel economy for the EQE is EPA estimated. When considering fuel economy, it’s useful to compare these estimates to other vehicles. Your actual mileage can differ based on several variables, including driving speed, weather conditions, and the length of your trips. Specifically, highway mileage achieved will likely be less than the EPA highway estimate.
For models equipped with an optional trailer hitch, it’s crucial to consult the Operator’s Manual before towing. Depending on the state, aftermarket trailer brakes might be necessary. Dealers can provide specific details and requirements related to towing with the EQE.
The driving range of the EQE, when fully charged, is also EPA estimated. It’s crucial to understand that the actual driving range can fluctuate. Factors that influence range include the specific EQE model, the terrain being driven, ambient temperature, driving habits, optional equipment installed, the use of vehicle features, and other variables.
Certain offers are available to retail customers who purchase or lease a new model year 2025 EQB, EQE, EQS, or G 580. Eligible customers can choose between a Mercedes-Benz Home Wallbox (installation not included) or a $1,000 voucher. This voucher can be used towards their MB.CHARGE Public account for public charging within the MB.CHARGE Public network and is valid for up to two years. To utilize the voucher, charging sessions must be initiated through MB.CHARGE Public. The choice of offer must be made when the vehicle is delivered. This offer is non-refundable, non-transferable, and cannot be canceled once selected. It has no cash value and is subject to potential changes or discontinuation at any time. Further terms and conditions apply, and detailed information can be obtained from authorized Mercedes-Benz dealers.
The navigation system in the EQE is designed to provide directional assistance. However, drivers must always prioritize safe driving practices, remaining attentive to traffic and street signs. Navigation maps may not be comprehensive, potentially lacking coverage for all areas or routes within a given area. Map updates are periodically required and may not always reflect the most recent or temporary road changes.
It is important to remember that even advanced safety systems in the EQE are not foolproof and cannot prevent all accidents. Driver attentiveness and responsible driving behavior remain paramount. Drivers should not solely rely on system alerts before taking necessary actions like braking or evasive maneuvers, as these alerts may not provide sufficient reaction time or distance. The Operator’s Manual provides detailed information on system operating speeds, limitations, and important warnings.
Tire and wheel choices can also influence vehicle characteristics. Lower-aspect-ratio tires, often paired with specific wheels, may lead to increased treadwear and tire noise, as well as reduced ride comfort. Driving on rough or damaged roads or encountering road debris can cause serious damage to wheels and tires of this type. These tires are not intended for use in snowy or icy conditions. For winter driving, it is recommended to use winter tires mounted on appropriately sized and approved wheels.
Range-optimized summer tires are standard on the EQE. Choosing all-season tires, available with certain wheel options, may result in a decrease in driving range.

Access to third-party streaming services might require subscriptions. Streaming can be enabled through a connected phone’s data plan or by activating the in-car Wi-Fi. Details on Mercedes me connect and compatible streaming services like Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, and TIDAL can be obtained from dealers or the Mercedes-Benz website.
While systems like 4MATIC® all-wheel drive enhance performance, they are not substitutes for safe driving habits. The laws of physics still apply, and drivers must always be attentive to driving conditions. Performance can be limited by available traction, particularly in conditions like snow or ice. Winter tires are recommended for optimal performance in snowy conditions.
Over-the-air updates for the EQE require an active Mercedes me connect account and a sufficient cellular connection.
Rear-axle steering is standard on the EQE 500 and optional on EQE 350 models. The maximum steering angle varies based on wheel size: it’s 10 degrees with 20-inch wheels and 4.5 degrees with 21-inch wheels.
For charging at stations using the NACS connector, including Tesla Superchargers, an adapter is available for DC charging only and should not be used for AC charging. It is essential to read the adapter manual before use. This adapter is the only one approved for safety and compatibility with Mercedes-Benz electric vehicles. A software update might be needed for the vehicle to enable Plug & Charge functionality at Tesla Supercharger stations.
EPA-estimated ranges vary depending on the specific EQE sedan model: 308 miles for the EQE 350+ Sedan, 267 miles for the EQE 350 4MATIC Sedan, and 266 miles for the EQE 500 4MATIC Sedan. More information is available at fueleconomy.gov.
Home charging equipment purchase and installation may require agreements with third-party vendors. Home installations could necessitate electrical service upgrades or other modifications at an additional cost and might not be feasible for all types of homes. Further details and limitations can be found on the Qmerit website. Qmerit is an independent third party, not under the control of Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.
In conclusion, the Mercedes-Benz EQE offers a blend of luxury and electric vehicle technology. Understanding these specifications and features is key for potential buyers to appreciate the EQE’s capabilities and make informed decisions.
