The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE is a younger, smaller and less expensive cousin of the Mercedes-Benz EQS, based on the same EVA platform.<\/p>\n

There are four versions of the car available in the United States, starting with the entry-level, rear-wheel drive EQE 350+, two all-wheel drive versions (EQE 350 4Matic and EQE 500 4Matic) and a performance-oriented AMG EQE.<\/p>\n

There are a few other versions in Europe, but today we will take a closer look only at the US-spec cars, including prices and basic specs.<\/p>\n

Mercedes-Benz AMG EQE<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n

The Mercedes-Benz EQE<\/a> 350+ starts at an MSRP of $74,900 (plus a $1,150 destination charge), which is over $30,000 less than in the case of the entry-level Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ ($104,400)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The dual-motor, all-wheel drive version EQE 350 4Matic is $3,000 more expensive ($77,900), while the even more powerful EQE 500 4Matic starts at $85,900. The AMG EQE version is significantly more expensive than the rest of the lineup, as it starts at $106,900.<\/p>\n

Due to the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA), none of the Mercedes-Benz EQE qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit, because the cars are imported (they would exceed the $55,000 price cap anyway, even if locally produced).<\/p>\n

During the first quarter of 2023, Mercedes-Benz sold over 1,300 EQE in the US<\/a>, compared to over 2,000 EQS. It will be interesting to see whether the EQE will beat the EQS at some point in the future.<\/p>\n

All of the Mercedes-Benz EQE available in the US are equipped with the same 90.6-kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery.<\/p>\n

The base, rear-wheel drive has an estimated range of 305 miles (491 km) and accelerates from 0 to 60 miles per hour (mph) in 6.2 seconds.<\/p>\n

The higher-power, all-wheel drive versions are quicker, but their range is noticeably shorter – 260 miles in the case of the regular AWD versions (45 miles or 15 percent less) and just 225 miles in the case of the AMG version.<\/p>\n

However, the AMG EQE is very quick, with a 0-60 mph time of just 3.2 seconds – that’s actually better than 3.4 seconds in the case of the AMG EQS, which is roughly $40,000 more expensive.<\/p>\n

An interesting thing is that earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz introduced a new performance acceleration on-demand upgrade, as a subscription service<\/a>, which improves the acceleration of the EQS 450 4Matic, EQS 450 4Matic SUV, EQE 350 4Matic, EQE SUV 4Matic SUV.<\/p>\n

In the case of the EQE 350 4Matic, the 0-60 mph time is reduced by 0.9 seconds from 6.0 to 5.1, at an expense of $60\/month, $600\/year, or $1,950 for a lifetime of the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Currently, none of the Mercedes-Benz EQE versions are listed on the EPA’s website so we are still waiting for the EPA Combined range and efficiency ratings.<\/p>\n

All of the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE versions are equipped with a 9.6-kW onboard charger, which is promised to recharge the battery from 10 to 100 percent of state-of-charge (SOC) in 10.5 hours.<\/p>\n

Regarding DC fast charging, 10-80 percent SOC recharge is possible in 32 minutes at up to 170 kilowatts of power.<\/p>\n

Now, let’s take a look at the side-by-side comparison of the EQE and EQS, using the all-wheel drive versions – respectively EQE 350 4Matic (19-inch) and EQS 450 4Matic (20-inch) – as an example.<\/p>\n

The EQE has about 16.4 percent smaller battery (90.6-kWh vs. 108.4-kWh) and quite a substantially lower EPA range (by over 23 percent), although we have to wait for the official rating.<\/p>\n

Due to the lower power output (by almost one-fifth), the EQE is slightly slower than the EQS. Charging times are very comparable, both AC and DC.<\/p>\n

The main difference appears to be the price (27 percent higher in the EQS) and standard equipment\/features, so this is the thing to research before buying.<\/p>\n
