2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV AMG EQE

Price Range: $109,300 ^{Price range reflects Base MSRP for various trim levels, not including options or fees.}

Overview

EQ is Mercedes-Benz's nomenclature for its new line of electric vehicles. Although the naming convention leads to some inelegance — as exemplified by the EQE (sedan) and EQE SUV — the vehicles themselves need no apology. As the second E in the name implies, this electric SUV is midsize, like the E-Class or GLE. It's spacious, comfortable and serene, with materials and assembly quality to match anything else in the Mercedes family. And like most other vehicles in the family, it's now available in velvet-sledgehammer AMG form, this one offering more than 600 horsepower.

Am I Ready for an EV?

EV ownership works best if you can charge (240V) at home or at work ^{This typically means a 240V home installation, but you could also have a similar setup at your office or other places your car is already parked for several hours each day. Don't expect a regular household outlet (120V) to suffice unless you've got a plug-in hybrid, in which case overnight charging at home is feasible.}
If you can’t charge at home, charging at a charging station could take at least 10x longer than at a gas station ^{With public charging infrastructure still in its infancy, the user experience can be maddeningly inconsistent. Tesla owners tend to rave about the reliability and speed of the company's proprietary Supercharger stations, but rival DC fast options have thus far been plagued by technical issues and overcrowding. It's an evolving landscape and our best advice is to do your research on the available options for the EV you want to buy.}
Adding a 240V home charging system could cost up to $1,600 or more ^{If your existing electrical service can handle the additional demands of EV charging, you may be able to add Level 2 charging at home for less than a grand, including installation. But your costs will multiply if you need to upgrade your electrical panel or add a dedicated circuit.}

Edmunds spotlight: The new AMG EQE SUV

For the 2024 model year, a performance-tuned Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV joins the lineup. This model isn't AMG's first entirely electric vehicle, but it is the performance division's first SUV that does without a combustion engine. It shares much with its AMG EQE sedan, with the basic idea being to haul some you-know-what while you also haul your kids to school. The AMG EQE SUV has a motor at each axle. This setup provides all-wheel drive and a combined output of 617 hp and 701 lb-ft of torque. Pick the AMG Dynamic Plus package and that increases to 677 hp and 738 lb-ft. Mercedes says this is enough to launch the AMG EQE SUV from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds.

Competitors to consider

There are a lot of alternatives for shoppers turned off by the EQE SUV's electric-egg shape. On the boxy end of the spectrum are the BMW iX and Rivian R1S, both of which offer greater advertised range than the Mercedes. People looking for a more traditional sense of style might be drawn to the Audi Q8 e-tron Sportback, Cadillac Lyriq or Genesis Electrified GV70. But there's more than just its traditionally beautiful Mercedes-Benz interior to recommend the EQE SUV. Read our Expert Rating below to find out what the EQE SUV does right — and what it could do better.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the EQE SUV drive? Our test vehicle was an EQE 350+ SUV fitted with the optional rear-wheel steering. With this option, the EQE SUV is supremely easy to maneuver in tight spots and make U-turns in. This system, coupled with the smooth and responsive propulsion, makes the EQE SUV ideal for city commuting.

At our test track, our 350+ accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds. That's adequate speed for routine driving, but you'll for sure want to get the EQE 500 or AMG EQE SUV for a sportier experience. We also found the brake pedal's action to be odd and hard to get used to. Handling around turns is stable but not particularly inspiring.

Comfort

8.0/10

How comfortable is the EQE SUV? The Mercedes-Benz EQE 350+ SUV's front seats are comfortable, though the seat heating and cooling functions are a little slow to get going. We also found the cushioning of the rear seats to be somewhat uncomfortable. On the upside, the vehicle has a pretty smooth ride, especially if you choose the optional adaptive air suspension. It's also very quiet.

The vehicle's climate control system could be better. While it has robust cooling power, we found some quirks to be annoying, such as how the system will blow very warm air before transitioning to cold. The air recirculate button, hidden in the screen's air quality menu, can be initially tricky to locate too.

Interior

8.0/10

How’s the interior? Stepping into the cabin of the EQE SUV is a breeze thanks to the generous and wide door openings. The squared-off back doors allow for ample head clearance, and the shorter length of the doors makes them easy to fully open in tight spaces. These qualities aid both in loading children and making entry more comfortable. The front doors also offer a good clearance around the head area. Inside, the flat floor in the back yields maximum rear seat legroom, and the overall feeling of space in the rear seat is generous.

The EQE SUV also offers excellent visibility and a decent user-friendly interface, albeit with a few hiccups. The user interface's menu organization could use some improvement since some key features, like certain drive settings and audio adjustments, are hard to find. Even so, the system is fairly easy to use without you having to resort to looking stuff up in the manual.

Technology

9.0/10

How’s the tech? This SUV ensures an immersive experience with its state-of-the-art sound system and seamless smartphone integration. The Burmester sound system, a hallmark of Mercedes, delivers unparalleled audio quality, enhancing the enjoyment of any genre of music. The SUV also ensures an optimal smartphone projection experience with its wide and tall screen, a convenient feature that suits both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The onboard navigation system is impressive, featuring high-quality map graphics and augmented reality displays on the screen and in the head-up display — arguably one of the best native systems on the market. The voice recognition technology is extremely reliable and is highly accurate in recognizing and executing commands. We also like how most of the EQE SUV's advanced driver aids work. The adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance systems are both excellent, for example, ideally balancing relaxed assistance with more assertive action when needed.

Storage

8.5/10

How’s the storage? The EQE SUV may not lead the pack for cargo space — offering less than 20 cubic feet of space compared to the BMW iX's 35.5 cubic feet, for example — but we found it to be more than adequate for a midsize SUV. Though it may not be quite as large as the BMW and others, we don't feel like the difference is nearly as large as the numbers suggest. There's some additional underfloor storage space. But, in keeping with Mercedes' traditional design philosophy, it omits a frunk.

The EQE SUV shines brilliantly in its small-item storage offerings, namely in the substantial storage area beneath the floating center console. There are retractable cupholders that can be conveniently hidden away to make space for other items. There's also a wireless phone charger that snugly fits under the touchscreen, where it doesn't take up any premium storage real estate. Another standout storage feature is the center armrest bin, capable of accommodating an impressively large 60-ounce water bottle. Ease of access is further facilitated by the dual-opening doors. Generously sized door pockets provide additional storage, even though we wish they had a felt lining to minimize noise. The EQE SUV also offers ample rear seat space, making it straightforward to install car seats.

Range and Efficiency

8.5/10

How are the range and efficiency? [Note: What follows relates to our testing of a 2023 EQE 350+ SUV, which came with a slightly smaller battery pack than the current year. Our general observations on range and efficiency still apply, however.] Our EQE 350+ test car had an EPA-estimated range of 279 miles. As typical for a Mercedes-Benz, we easily exceeded the EPA's estimate on our standardized real-world Edmunds EV Range Test, traveling a whopping 345 miles on a single charge, which is a solid showing for any EV, let alone a midsize SUV.

Efficiency, or how much electricity the EQE SUV uses when driving, is also impressive. We measured just 30.3 kWh used for every 100 miles of driving. That's above-average efficiency for the luxury SUV class, and it's the second most efficient Mercedes we've tested behind the EQS 450+.

The EQE SUV has DC fast-charging capability of up to 170 kW. This is slower than some other luxury EVs, but we've found in our own independent charging tests that the EQE SUV's overall ability to regain range while fast charging is above average.

Value

8.0/10

Is the EQE SUV a good value? The EQE SUV presents a compelling value proposition. It is priced competitively to other midsize electric SUVs and comes with with plenty of features. The interior exudes an air of elegance, with the leather-wrapped dashboard and meticulously crafted trimmings contributing to an overall ambiance of sophistication and refinement. We'd prefer an alternative to the piano black finish on the center console, but the high-quality materials and attention to detail affirm that this is indeed a luxury vehicle. The solid build quality ensures the absence of any noticeable squeaks or rattles, reinforcing the sense of quality.

Warranty coverage is pretty standard for the segment, with a four-year/50,000-mile basic and powertrain warranty. Mercedes also provides two years of complimentary fast charging (30 minutes per session) at Electrify America, which is a nice bonus.

Wildcard

7.5/10

The EQE SUV certainly leaves an impression of being a luxurious and pragmatic choice for everyday commuting. It doesn't make your heart race with excitement when you're behind the wheel, but it is by no means an unpleasant vehicle to drive. The performance is merely satisfactory, good enough for daily commutes and long drives, but it lacks a certain exhilarating thrill that some competitors offer.

The visual appeal is modest and well executed, but the EQE SUV is much less bold and provocative than, say, the BMW iX. Comparatively, the Audi e-tron still holds a bit more charm, years after its launch, with a certain aesthetic superiority among its rivals. The EQE SUV is a careful execution of understated elegance. While it might not induce gasps of admiration, it has cemented its place as a solid, if not spectacular, player in the electric SUV segment.

Which EQE SUV does Edmunds recommend?

We want all the latest tech in our electric Mercedes. For the 2024 EQE SUV, that means the Hyperscreen, so we'd go with the EQE 500 4Matic. From there, we could pile on all the driver assistance tech and massaging-seat comfort we want and still land below $100,000.

Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV models

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV is an electric midsize crossover that is available with four powertrains: EQE 350+, EQE 350 4Matic, EQE 500 4Matic and AMG EQE. Mercedes offers each of the non-AMG models in three trim levels: Premium, Exclusive and Pinnacle. Buyers of the AMG EQE have only to choose whether they want the extra features of the Pinnacle trim. The 350+ and 500 4Matic get a new 96-kilowatt-hour battery pack for 2024, while the 350 4Matic and AMG stick with last year's 90.6-kWh pack. EPA range estimates are not available for most of the EQE SUV family as of this writing, but powertrain specifications are as follows:

EQE 350+
The entry-level EQE SUV has a single electric motor on the rear axle, producing 288 horsepower and 417 lb-ft of torque.

EQE 350 4Matic
Available for no additional charge over the rear-wheel-drive 350+, the 4Matic adds a second electric motor on the front axle. This provides all-wheel drive and raises the torque output to 564 lb-ft, but horsepower remains at 288 hp. EPA-estimated range is 253 miles.

EQE 500 4Matic
Two higher-output electric motors give the EQE 500 4Matic all-wheel drive as well as 402 horsepower and 633 lb-ft of torque. Rear-wheel steering is standard, as is the 56-inch Hyperscreen digital dashboard.

AMG EQE
It doesn't have 4Matic in its name, but the AMG EQE is indeed all-wheel-drive. Here, the two motors combine for a massive 617 horsepower and 701 lb-ft of torque.

2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV First Impressions

byKyle Fortune

•7/10/2023

What is the EQE SUV?

Mercedes is rapidly expanding its lineup of all-electric models. Last year, it launched its EQE SUV, which is the midsize five-passenger SUV counterpart to the EQE sedan. That debut model came in three main trim levels: EQE 350, EQE 350 4Matic and EQE 500 4Matic. For the 2024 model year, a performance-tuned Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV joins the lineup as well.

This model isn't AMG's first entirely electric vehicle, but it is the performance division's first SUV that does without a combustion engine. It shares much with its AMG EQE sedan, including its AMG-specific dual electric motors and 90.6-kWh battery pack. The basic idea is to haul some you-know-what while you also haul your kids to school. Key competitors to the EQE SUV include the Audi Q8 e-tron, BMW iX, Cadillac Lyriq and Tesla Model X, though not all of these rivals have a comparable performance version.

How much power does the AMG EQE SUV have?

The AMG EQE SUV has a motor at each axle. This setup provides all-wheel drive and a combined output of 617 hp and 701 lb-ft of torque. Pick the AMG Dynamic Plus package and that increases to 677 hp and 738 lb-ft. Mercedes says this is enough to launch the AMG EQE SUV from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds.

That maximum output with the Dynamic Plus package is a bit disingenuous, as those maximum numbers are only possible when you've selected the specific Race Start option among the numerous drive modes. Do that and the powertrain is briefly boosted to 110% to achieve that maximum output. Switching between the other drive modes lowers the output accordingly, with Slippery accessing just 50%, Comfort 80%, Sport 90% and Sport+ 100%. Regardless, even in Comfort mode, the AMG EQE SUV feels plenty fast enough.

How does the AMG EQE SUV drive?

The AMG EQE SUV is able to do the usual electric vehicle party trick of producing eye-widening, neck-straining acceleration, and not just from standstill but also while on the move. That's entertaining for a while, and, if you desire, can be joined by sounds via the AMG Sound Experience, which uses speakers inside and out to generate an electric performance soundscape. It sounds a bit sci-fi, and not entirely convincing, to the point that you'll likely just end up switching it off.

The SUV rides higher than its EQE sedan relation, but the way it manages to disguise its bulk and height is impressive. A combination of its air suspension, rear-wheel steering and active roll stabilization helps it achieve this. All that, and the way AMG tunes the motors to allocate their power, allows the AMG EQE SUV to cover ground with impervious ease. But it does so without ever really engaging the driver behind the wheel, or indeed doing so in a manner that's unique to AMG.

So, yes, this AMG EQE SUV is fast, composed and capable. But so are many of its EV rivals. The point where AMG's tuning becomes really apparent is at a speed that's not really suitable for the road. You can fiddle endlessly with the drive modes, customize them, and change the regeneration via the paddle shifters, but more often than not defaulting to Comfort mode and making decent progress proves to be the preferred option.

How much range does the AMG EQE SUV have?

The AMG version has the same 90.6-kWh battery pack as the other EQE SUVs. Official EPA estimates were not available at the time of our review's publication, but it's fair to assume that the AMG will have a bit less range than the 500 4Matic, which checks in with 269 miles on a full charge. In Edmunds' real-world range testing, we've found that Mercedes EVs can consistently drive farther than their EPA estimates.

As for charging, the EQE has an onboard charger that works up to 9.6 kW for at-home or Level 2 public charging. As for DC fast charging, Mercedes says peak charging power is 170 kW. That's a bit underwhelming for a luxury EV, though it should be enough to charge the battery from 10% to 80% in a bit more than 30 minutes.

How comfortable is the AMG EQE SUV?

Naturally, opting for that Comfort mode does as the name suggests. It adds some give to the suspension, making this EV ride with a bit less brittleness than sportier choices without ever losing its ability in the bends or feeling anything less than very quick.

Comfort is more than just the work of the suspension, however. The firm, supportive seats offer plenty of adjustment, there's decent room in the rear seats, and the heating and ventilation system operates very well indeed. The EQE SUV is all but silent on the move, too, so long as you've deselected the augmented sound options.

How's the AMG EQE SUV's interior?

If you've sat in any recent Mercedes-Benz EQ vehicle, then the AMG EQE SUV's interior will feel familiar, though obviously AMG has put its own stamp on things. That means there's AMG badging and trim throughout, with all the screens in the interior gaining AMG-specific designs and functionality that suits its more sporting goals.

There are AMG seats, which hold you with a bit more authority than those in the regular EQE, while the steering wheel gets additional rotary controls to switch between the drive modes or adjust things like the suspension, sound and drivetrain individually. The quality of materials is good, though the proliferation of screens — especially with the optional Hyperscreen that adds a huge expanse of plastic across the entire dashboard area, with three screens behind it — lacks the class of the standard setup. That one uses just two individual screens, one for instrumentation and a central portrait-oriented one for infotainment.

It's all a lot more glitzy and gimmicky than Mercedes-Benz models of old, and AMG trim only enhances that, and not necessarily for the better.

How's the AMG EQE SUV's tech?

Besides all the driveline and chassis technology that allows the AMG EQE SUV its impressive performance and agility, there's plenty to keep you busy and distracted inside. If you do opt for the Hyperscreen, you can't escape the screens, though there's a huge amount of duplication on them. At one point during our test we could view navigation instructions from four places: a head-up display, the instrument screen, central infotainment screen, and the screen in front of the front seat passenger.

The operation of all that, whether you're looking to change the radio station, move over to a podcast or change things like the navigation, isn't always as intuitive as it could be. Mercedes-Benz's people will point to the possibility to do a lot of things via voice commands, but despite strides in the area of recognizing spoken commands, saying "Hey Mercedes" then a request doesn't always get you what you're after.

Being a Mercedes there's a host of safety equipment, active and passive. The range of assist functions to help you on your way, including keeping you in your lane and monitoring your drowsiness, for the most part work in the background rather than distracting.

How's the AMG EQE SUV's storage?

Storage isn't particularly generous. There's no frunk, and the rear luggage compartment is only 18.4 cubic feet with the rear seats in position, and a maximum of 59.2 cubic feet with them folded, so it'll carry luggage, but not as much as some rivals. It's unusual for EVs to have quoted towing weights, but Mercedes-AMG quotes a maximum 3,968 pounds towing weight with a braked trailer, with that dropping to 1,653 pounds with an unbraked trailer. Naturally, if you do choose to tow with it, you'll significantly dent the available range from that electric drivetrain.

Edmunds says

Mercedes-AMG's first fully electric SUV demonstrates mighty potential performance thanks to some AMG revisions. But for all its competence and quickness, the AMG EQE SUV does have a feel more like a trim line than a truly distinct AMG proposition. With EVs having democratized the sort of performance that brands like AMG used to offer, trying to translate that to a new plug-in world is proving problematic — and not just for AMG. We're not certain the AMG EQE SUV offers enough over one of its non-AMG EQE SUV relations to really justify the increased expense and, ultimately, compromises.
