2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE AMG EQE Sedan Exterior

Very Good

The Mercedes EQE sedan impresses with its nearly silent cabin, loads of tech features, and the kind of luxurious comfort expected from any Mercedes-Benz. The base model may not be as sporty as some rivals, but there's plenty of performance in the higher trims.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Mark Takahashi

Updated: 9/23/2026

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan is the all-electric reinterpretation of the German carmaker's E-Class, a midsize luxury sedan. It sits above the all-new and all-electric CLA in Mercedes' lineup and offers shoppers a noticeable step up in interior refinement and space. Above the EQE is the EQS sedan, which can be thought of as the electric version of the stately S-Class. Things get a little confusing, as there's also a midsize EQE SUV that we review separately.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Brian Wong

Very Good

7.3

out of 10

We drove the 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

7.5/10

How does the Mercedes-Benz EQE drive? Acceleration for the EQE 4Matic we tested wasn't blistering, with a 0-60 mph time of 5.5 seconds, but it feels light and agile in everyday driving. The accelerator responds immediately, and its power is more than sufficient unless you're planning to drag race. However, braking is a mixed bag. While the stopping distance is solid, the regenerative braking system feels grabby, and the moving brake pedal is frustrating and hard to adjust to even after extended use.

Handling is better than expected for a comfort-tuned suspension, with controlled body roll and a low center of gravity that lets you push harder into corners. The optional 10-degree rear-wheel steering system makes low-speed maneuvering a breeze and adds precision to quick turn-ins. Ride quality is excellent, with a serene and quiet cabin, though not quite as plush as the EQS. Visibility is good overall, with well-placed mirrors and an excellent surround-view camera system. The hood dips low and isn't too long, which also helps. Driver aids, including adaptive cruise control and lane keeping, performed smoothly and reliably.

Comfort

7/10

How comfortable is the Mercedes-Benz EQE? The EQE is a great luxury sedan for highway miles. The front seats are superbly comfortable, with plenty of adjustments and supportive cushioning. However, the rear seats are less impressive, with a flat bottom cushion and an awkward seatback angle that make it hard to get fully comfortable. Car seat accommodation is good, with easy access to top and lower anchors, though storing the pop-off lower anchor covers can be annoying. There's enough room for a rear-facing car seat without forcing the front passenger to compromise legroom.

The climate control system works well, except in Eco mode, where it barely blows cold air. While this setting adds a few miles of range, it's impractical on sunny days unless you enjoy turning the EQE into a rolling sauna.

Driver controls are well designed, with ample steering wheel adjustment for perfect pedal reach. Interior noise and vibration levels are superb, with the cabin registering just over 60 decibels in sound tests.

In-cabin tech

9.7/10

How’s the tech? The Mercedes-Benz EQE's infotainment system is a technological marvel but has a learning curve. The standard vertical 12.8-inch screen is fantastic, and while the optional Hyperscreen is impressive, it can feel like overkill.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto work seamlessly, and the car is well equipped with five USB-C ports and a wireless charging pad. The Burmester audio system is a standout, and the voice commands ("Hey Mercedes") are highly effective.

However, the native navigation's augmented reality integration has a slight lag. While the MBUX system is highly customizable, its complex layered menus can make finding certain functions difficult for new users.

Storage & cargo

6.9/10

How’s storage and cargo? The EQE's trunk is smaller than the trunks of a lot of other luxury electric sedans, but it's still large enough to fit several large bags or suitcases. It does not have a front frunk like the Tesla Model S, however. At first glance, it also doesn't look like the EQE has much interior storage. But then you pop open that cover beneath the center screen and realize that the space is pretty large. The floating console opens up a big storage space between the front seats, which is perfect for a purse or small bag.

Value

7.1/10

Is the Mercedes-Benz EQE a good value? The EQE's tight build quality, upscale materials and luxurious cabin design live up to expectations set by Mercedes' other vehicles. However, you're not really gaining any significant range or performance benefits versus other electric sedans (both luxury and non-luxury). BMW's rival i5 is less expensive too. The EQE is a lovely vehicle to travel in and drive, but it needs to have one more trick up its sleeve to feel fully worth its price.

Warranty coverage is about standard, with four years/50,000 miles of basic and powertrain coverage. The battery does get a longer 10-year/155,000-mile warranty. There are also two years of scheduled maintenance and free 30-minute Electrify America fast-charging sessions included with every new EQE.

Range/Efficiency/Charging

6.4/10

How are the range and efficiency? [Editor's note: The following comes from our range testing of a prior year EQE. The EPA-estimated range for 2026 differs slightly, but the following test results are still broadly applicable.] The 2023 EQE 350 4Matic we tested blew past its EPA-estimated range of 260 miles to cover 302 miles in the Edmunds EV Range Test. It was also impressively efficient. On our range test, we measured that it used 34.4 kWh for every 100 miles driven, which is considerably better than the EPA's estimate.

Maximum charging power for the EQE is 170 kW on a DC fast charger. Some other luxury EVs (the Lucid Air, for example) are capable of charging at a higher max, but it's good enough to get you going without too much waiting. Mercedes says you can charge the battery from 10% to 80% in 32 minutes at an appropriate fast charger in ideal conditions.

X factor

5/10

In its base versions, the EQE hangs its hat on practicality rather than thrills. It's a very comfortable and smooth-riding EV but not particularly fun to drive. The styling is pretty bland too. The design emphasizes aerodynamics over aesthetics and somehow looks futuristic without being bold.

Buying Tips for the 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE for October

New 2026 EQE inventory is effectively gone right now, so skip the usual price haggling playbook and shop remaining stock fast if you want one.

Buyers were already paying about $6,100 under MSRP on average, which puts the Edmunds Suggested Price roughly 9% below sticker, and there are no general customer cash rebates to stack on top.
There are only 3 new EQEs showing nationally, and all of them appear to be the EQE 320 4MATIC, so your trim and color choices will be extremely limited and a dealer is unlikely to sharpen the pencil much further.
Mercedes is offering special financing as low as 5.99% for 48 or 60 months for qualified buyers, which is well below typical market rates and can save meaningful interest over the life of the loan.
If you lease, expect a payment around $829 a month with about $6,624 due at signing for 36 months and 12,000 miles a year.

2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE trim level differences

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE is a midsize luxury sedan that is available in three trim levels: EQE 320+, EQE 320 4Matic and AMG EQE. The entry-level EQE 320+ sports a single electric motor driving the rear wheels (315 horsepower, 416 lb-ft of torque). The EQE 320 4Matic adds a second motor to drive the front wheels for all-wheel drive (315 hp, 564 lb-ft). The AMG EQE is the dual-motor high-performance version (617 hp, 701 lb-ft). With launch control, output increases (677 hp, 738 lb-ft) for a brief moment. Compare the 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE trim levels in-depth.

Which EQE trim does Edmunds recommend?

The EQE 320 4Matic should easily satisfy most drivers and passengers, in terms of both performance and luxury. To that, we'd add the Exclusive trim, mainly for the adaptive cruise control and other safety features. We typically advise against the Hyperscreen since it's prone to some distracting reflections and sun glare.

Competitors to consider

The BMW i5 is our favorite among all-electric midsize luxury sedans. Not only does it cost a bit less, but it's also noticeably more pleasurable to drive, with sharper handling balanced with a smooth ride. On top of that, it's estimated to deliver up to 310 miles on a single charge. The Audi A6 Sportback E-tron is one of the newer entrants in the class, and the sportier S6 model tops our list of performance EVs. The Mercedes-Benz EQE remains a strong choice for luxury-car shoppers who favor isolating comfort over sporty driving dynamics, though.

Edmunds spotlight: Big changes over the horizon

When the EQE sedan debuted in 2023, it had few, if any, direct competitors. As a result, it enjoyed its own particular electric midsize luxury spotlight almost to itself. Now, only a few years later, the competition has caught up to the EQE, offering more power, performance and driver engagement. Those rivals also tend to cost less and offer more range on a single charge. There are rumors the EQE will be updated, or even replaced, for 2027, keeping it competitive with newcomers. Information remains scant, but we should know much more by this summer.

Very nice EV sedan, with an update

Mike H. , 10/05/2023

2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE EQE 350 4MATIC 4dr Sedan AWD (electric DD)

This is an update after about 6 months of ownership. This is a great car and has given us no trouble at all. I appreciate the user interface on the navigation and the sound system. I also appreciate the range. It does not have a drunk, but the trunk is spacious. The “sport” drive mode gives it plenty of acceleration. This is my original review: We are really enjoying our new Mercedes …

We have a limited number of reviews for the 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE, so we've included review for other years of the EQE since its last redesign.
