Used 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 EQE's powertrain progression forms one pricing hierarchy, but motor output and drivetrain configuration are the only major differences separating the EQE 350, EQE 350 4Matic and EQE 500 4Matic. All three come with the same roster of standard equipment and the same 90.6-kWh battery pack. Equipment differences lie in the three trim levels — progressing from Premium to Exclusive to the Pinnacle — available with any powertrain. The AMG EQE has its own level of standard equipment. It is only offered in Exclusive and Pinnacle trims, but the equipment included in each varies slightly compared to the rest of the EQE lineup. Read on for our rundown of the EQE's major features and options.

EQE 350
This base model has one electric motor on the rear axle producing 288 hp and 391 lb-ft.

EQE 350 4Matic
This entry-level all-wheel-driver adds a motor to the front axle as well. Horsepower stays at 288, while torque increases to 564 lb-ft.

EQE 500 4Matic
The uplevel all-wheel-drive EQE also has an electric motor at either end, here combining for 402 hp and 633 lb-ft. The EQE 500 also gets rear-wheel steering to enhance maneuverability.

AMG EQE
The sportiest EQE, the all-wheel-drive AMG boasts a nominal 617 hp and 701 lb-ft, which can be briefly boosted to 677 hp and 738 lb-ft. It also includes rear-wheel steering.

All EQEs are well equipped from the start. The baseline Premium trim includes:

  • 9.6-kW AC charging
  • 170-kW DC fast charging
  • 19-inch wheels
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • LED headlights with adaptive high beams
  • Keyless entry and starting
  • Power-operated trunklid
  • Dual-zone climate control with pre-conditioning
  • Power-adjustable, heated front seats
  • 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster
  • 12.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system
  • Integrated navigation system
  • 15-speaker Burmester sound system
  • Wireless phone charging
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (both with wireless connectivity)
  • 64-color ambient cabin lighting

The Premium also includes the following driver assist features as standard:

  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the EQE back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Front and rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is about to cross your path and cause a collision)
  • 360-degree parking camera (gives you a top-down view of the EQE and its surroundings in tight parking situations)
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)

Notable options on the Premium trim include:

  • AMG Line Exterior package: replaces the front and rear fascias, as well as the sill panels, with more aggressive pieces
  • AMG Line Interior package: sport seats in perforated leather, flat-bottom steering wheel, rubber-studded metal pedals
  • Winter package: heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, heated windshield, heated windshield washers
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Leather upholstery
  • Multicontour front seats with massage
  • Four-zone climate control
  • Airmatic adjustable suspension

Exclusive
Has all of the Premium's standard equipment plus more technology features, including:

  • Augmented reality navigation that overlays route prompts onto a forward-facing camera feed
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the EQE and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Blind-spot intervention (steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)
  • Automated lane change assistance (guides the vehicle into the next lane when the turn signal is used)
  • Evasive steering assistance (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance)

The Exclusive also opens up the following options:

  • Head-up display
  • Acoustic Comfort package: laminated glass for the windshield and front windows that cuts down on exterior noise and UV absorption

Pinnacle
Tops off the EQE by way of:

  • Head-up display
  • Four-zone climate control
  • Cabin-air filtration and fragrance diffuser
  • Six USB-C charging ports
  • Digital light headlights (automatically adjust to further improve road and sign illumination)

AMG EQE
The bundling of standard and optional equipment varies somewhat between the non-AMG cars and this more maniacal EQE. In addition to the non-AMG Exclusive trim, the base AMG EQE Exclusive comes with:

  • Adjustable air suspension
  • Special tuning of the all-wheel-drive system for sportier handling
  • Rear-axle steering
  • Flat-bottom steering wheel
  • Additional drive mode controls on the steering wheel
  • Unique soundtracks inside and outside the car
  • Heated steering wheel
  • AMG Track Pace: logs performance data including speed, acceleration, lap, and sector times during track driving

AMG EQE Pinnacle
The Pinnacle-est of the Pinnacles, this trim includes:

  • Head-up display
  • Four-zone climate control
  • Six USB-C charging ports
  • Cabin-air filtration and fragrance diffuser

Options for the AMG EQE are generally the same as those noted above. For the AMG EQE only, you can also get:

  • Carbon-ceramic brakes (provide better resistance to brake fade during high-performance driving)
  • AMG Night package: black chrome side mirrors and window surrounds and black chrome detailing on the front and rear fascias

Which EQE trim does Edmunds recommend?

The ability to execute an authoritative pass on a 55 mph two-lane seems like a necessary part of the Mercedes-Benz experience. While no EQE is slow, electric-motor punch tapers as speed builds, and the 350 models lack the stank necessary for such a dispatch. We, therefore, like the EQE 500 4Matic, and considering that it leaves buyers wanting for absolutely nothing. The Pinnacle trim's relatively minor upcharge is a no-brainer.
