THE 2024 MERCEDES-BENZ EQE 350 4MATIC IS A POSH & PRICEY MIDSIZE ELECTRIC SUV

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 4Matic SUV presents a compelling, albeit pricey, entry into the luxury electric SUV segment. While its interior boasts typical Mercedes-Benz opulence, advanced technology, and excellent ambient lighting, the exterior styling is polarizing, described as a "jelly bean blob" by the reviewer, lacking the visual appeal of some competitors. Performance is adequate for most, with the 4Matic version achieving 0-60 mph in 5.6 seconds, though it falls short of the more powerful EQE 500 or AMG variants. Real-world range is a notable concern, with the reviewer experiencing approximately 220-230 miles in cold weather, significantly less than its EPA rating and some rivals. Practicality is decent, offering good rear-seat space and cargo capacity, but it doesn't match the gas-powered GLE. The reviewer suggests Mercedes should consider using iconic gas model names for their EVs and rethink the EQ family's polarizing design to better align with buyer expectations.
