2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE AMG EQE

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE is the all-electric equivalent to the midsize E-Class sedan, not to be confused with the EQE SUV that is reviewed separately. In the lineup, it's the smaller electric sedan under the larger EQS sedan, with the even smaller new CLA set to debut next year. In typical Mercedes fashion, the EQE leans heavily into luxury, and the nearly silent cabin enhances the refinement and comfort the brand is known for.

For 2025, the EQE gets a revised battery pack. Mercedes says it has a 96-kWh capacity compared to last year's 90.6 kWh, and that should help improve the EQE's maximum range. Curiously, though, the EPA's range estimates are mixed. Only the base EQE 350+ sees an increase, from 298 miles to 308 miles. The EQE 350 4Matic drops by 13 miles, the EQE 500 4Matic loses 32 miles, and the AMG decreases by 10 miles. It's worth noting that in our Edmunds EV Range Test, Mercedes-Benz EQ models have often exceeded their range estimates. We hope to test the 2025 EQEs soon to find out what their range is in real-world driving.

The EQE sedan's most direct competitor is a newer version of a familiar foe: the BMW i5. Much like a comparison of a 5 Series and an E-Class, the BMW is sportier and slightly less expensive, while the EQE focuses more on luxury and opulence. Appearance-wise, the i5 sports a more traditional look, while the EQE is heavily influenced by aerodynamic efficiency. The Tesla Model S and Lucid Air also embrace an aero aesthetic and are similar to the EQE in terms of price.
