THE MOST IMPRESSIVE EV OF THE YEAR WITH ONE BIG PROBLEM!

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV is presented as a highly impressive, performance-oriented electric vehicle, boasting significant power (up to 677 hp with the performance package) and a luxurious, refined interior. The reviewer highlights Mercedes' leadership in EV refinement, drivetrain programming, and overall livability. Key positives include the quietest cabin experienced, excellent rear-seat space, advanced MBUX infotainment with a unique hyperscreen setup, and impressive maneuverability thanks to rear-wheel steering. However, the vehicle is not without its drawbacks. The exterior design is described as "odd" and "bulbous," and the ride quality, while firm and sporty, is considered too stiff for some use cases, especially compared to the more comfortable standard EQE. The most significant issue is the disappointing real-world range, estimated around 250 miles compared to the EPA rating of 235 miles, which is seen as insufficient for the high price point. The reviewer also notes finicky flush door handles, a fingerprint-prone hyperscreen, and a somewhat unrefined regenerative braking system with a moving brake pedal. Ultimately, while acknowledging its incredible speed and refinement, the reviewer questions the value proposition at its steep price, suggesting that lower trims might offer a better balance of performance and practicality.
