2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE front-quarter view

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE is a midsize ultra-luxurious all-electric sedan that hits the high notes.

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan is a great alternative to the larger and more expensive EQS sedan. It has similar levels of luxury and is more engaging to drive. With several variants to choose from, all with excellent range, it's sure to please a wide swath of drivers, whether they’re new to an electric vehicle or seasoned veterans.
8/10

The 2023 EQE sedan is the second all-new, all-electric sedan from Mercedes-Benz, following the larger EQS sedan to market. This midsize four-door is the green alternative to the automaker’s gasoline-powered E-Class, though it is a bit larger, making it closer in size to the current CLS sedan. From the outside, the EQE is sleek and rounded to maximize aerodynamic efficiencies. Stylistically, it's very similar to the EQS, with a bold three-pointed star emblem on the nose, large cutaways under the headlights that are akin to air inlets, flush-mounted door handles, and a tapering tail. Reactions are mixed, with some praising its simple and elemental shape, while others criticize it for the same reasons.

The interior is far less polarizing and has a distinct futuristic appearance with a large central touchscreen and digital instrument panel. Optionally, you can get the Hyperscreen dash that replaces the dash with a single sheet of glass that houses both displays. It's a stunner, but not without some drawbacks as noted below. The high-tech look is further enhanced by evocative ambient lighting strips that encircle the cockpit.

As a premium Mercedes-Benz, materials quality is excellent throughout the cabin. The standard MBTex synthetic leather upholstery could easily be mistaken for genuine leather, which is offered as an option along with Nappa leather. Construction is also very sturdy, with no detectable creaks or squeaks, even when on rough roads.

In essence, the EQE is as beautifully crafted as the more expensive EQS and gas-powered S-Class, which is nearly unassailable among luxury cars. If you value refinement in an impeccable interior, you can't do any better among electric cars.

All the Mercedes EV have dropped in value big time! You will lose 60 % of it value in 2 years! Hope you don’t have to go too far. Range is horrible! Rated at 225miles. You lucky you get 170 miles. Dec 04, 2024

For some crazy reason, the dash panel does not show the MPH in big centrally located numbers. It shows power % which means nothing to the average driver. Also, M-B turn signals are always out of sight and too soft to hear. Ergonomic problems. American dashboards make much more sense.May 13, 2024
