2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE AMG EQE

Change happens fast with electric vehicles. Take the 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan, for example. Mercedes introduced it just last year and is already making improvements one year in. But it's understandable that Mercedes wants this electric alternative to the traditional E-Class sedan to be more appealing compared to other EVs. If you like the EQE's smoothed-out styling, chances are you'll like most other things about it.

This year, Mercedes has added a standard heat pump to the EQE's climate system. Heat pumps are more energy-efficient than traditional cabin heaters, so this upgrade can help with maximum range in wintertime driving. In addition, all EQE models have a new braking system with improved pedal feel and brake energy regeneration capabilities. The Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment systems now feature a 5G communication module, new streaming apps (Apple Music and YouTube), and a beta implementation of ChatGPT artificial intelligence. The EQE 500 adds a standard MBUX Hyperscreen full-width dashboard display, and all EQE models offer a new 3D digital instrumentation panel as an option.

You'll definitely want to check out the new BMW i5 sedan. Based on the redesigned 5 Series sedan, the BMW i5 is priced significantly lower than the EQE and offers a more traditional look and feel than the Mercedes. In addition, both the Lucid Air and Tesla Model S are now priced in the EQE's neighborhood. For a sportier driving experience than the EQE can provide, there's the Audi e-tron GT and Porsche Taycan. You might also consider Mercedes' EQE SUV, which is pretty much the same thing as the sedan but with a lot more utility.
