The 2025 Mercedes-Benz Eqe 350 SUV emerges as a compelling all-electric option in the luxury SUV segment, seamlessly blending Mercedes-Benz’s renowned sophistication with cutting-edge EV technology. With a starting MSRP of $77,900, the EQE 350+ SUV offers a refined driving experience, impressive performance metrics, and a suite of advanced features designed for the modern driver.

This powertrain configuration enables brisk acceleration, propelling the SUV from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.4 seconds. The single-speed automatic transmission ensures smooth and responsive power delivery, characteristic of electric vehicles.
