2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE 320+ SUV Beats EPA by 47 Miles In Our Real-World EV Range Test

• The EQE 320+ SUV isn't exactly new, but it still delivers great range numbers.
• Our test saw the luxury SUV travel 349 miles, about 16% more than the EPA estimate.
• At 31.2 kWh per 100 miles, the Mercedes is among the more efficient electric SUVs.

How we range test

The Edmunds EV Range Test is designed to give you the most accurate representation of a car's real-world range. Rather than getting on the freeway, setting the cruise control at 70 mph, and driving until the battery is depleted, we follow a strict route made up of 60% city and 40% highway driving, with an average speed of 40 mph. These parameters better represent the actual driving buyers do day to day. We also stay within 5 mph of all posted speed limits, drive each car in its most efficient drive setting, and keep the climate control on auto at 72 degrees.

How does the EQE 320+ SUV stack up

A 349-mile result puts the EQE 320+ SUV in the neighborhood of other long-legged EVs Edmunds has tested, such as the Tesla Model Y Standard, which went 337 miles while using just 22.8 kWh per 100 miles. At the other side of the spectrum is the Cadillac Lyriq, which traveled 319 miles in our test but averaged 37.6 kWh per 100 miles.

For the 2026 model year, the EQE 320+ SUV starts at $66,300, including $1,350 destination, and delivers 315 hp of purely electric power with a peak torque of 416 lb-ft. If you go for the all-wheel-drive EQE 320+ 4Matic SUV ($68,800 MSRP), it has slightly more torque at 564 lb-ft but is slower to 60 mph at 6.2 seconds.
