MERCEDES-BENZ EQE SUV - REASSURINGLY EXPENSIVE

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV is presented as a more resolved and better-proportioned offering than its larger EQS SUV sibling. The reviewer highlights its spacious and supremely comfortable interior, excellent build quality, refined driving experience, and the intuitive MBUX operating system as key strengths. However, significant drawbacks include disappointing brake feel, a less advanced EV architecture than expected for a bespoke platform, and a somewhat unresolved low-speed ride, particularly with the larger 22-inch wheels. Despite its many positive attributes, the EQE SUV's extremely high price point is a major concern, leading the reviewer to suggest that competitors like the BMW iX might offer better value and technology for less money. Ultimately, while it's a very good car and potentially the best EQ model from Mercedes-Benz yet, it doesn't significantly advance the game, making its premium price tag difficult to justify unless the three-pointed star is a non-negotiable requirement.
