ALYSSA RUNS A 10% CHALLENGE IN THE MERCEDES EQE SUV!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer conducted a 10% range challenge on the 2023 Mercedes EQE 500 4MATIC SUV. Despite a charging derating issue that prevented a definitive result, the reviewer found the vehicle to be an easy and impressive EV to drive, praising its navigation, driver assistance systems, and smooth automatic lane changes. The interior comfort, ambient lighting, and spaciousness were also highlighted positively. However, the reviewer noted the car's high price point ($98,000 fully specced) and found its exterior styling unappealing, with an excessive number of Mercedes logos. The 15-minute charging session yielded a 19% gain, and the subsequent highway drive resulted in 67 miles traveled from 10% battery. While not a Porsche Taycan competitor, the EQE SUV performed decently in the challenge, and the reviewer ultimately recommended it for those with the budget, suggesting the used market might offer better value.
