MERCEDES EQE 350+ FIRST RIDE ON US ROADS! CHECKING COMFORT AND DRIVING FEATURES!

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes EQE 350+ offers a compelling first impression on US roads, carrying over many of the sophisticated features from its larger EQS sibling, including the optional Hyperscreen and advanced driver assistance systems. The reviewer highlights its E-Class-like trunk space and CLS-like door design, while noting its shorter wheelbase compared to the EQS contributes to a more agile feel. The optional rear-axle steering is praised for significantly improving maneuverability in city driving, reducing the turning circle to an impressive 10.7 meters. Comfort is a strong suit, with even the standard steel suspension providing a refined ride, though air suspension is available. A key discussion point revolves around the mandated single recuperation mode for official consumption figures, a limitation that restricts customer choice despite the availability of different modes like 'D-' for one-pedal driving or 'Auto' intelligent recuperation. The reviewer also touches on the subtle, customizable interior sound experiences, noting that while fun options are considered, the focus remains on a serene, luxury Mercedes-Benz driving experience. Production for the US market will be in Bremen, Germany.
