THE MERCEDES-BENZ EQE SUV IS THE MERCEDES SUV OF THE FUTURE

EV Channels Review

Doug DeMuro reviews the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV, highlighting its position as a potential preview of future Mercedes SUV design and technology. He praises the vehicle's powerful acceleration, particularly in the EQE 500 trim with its 535 horsepower and 4-second 0-60 time. The interior receives high marks for its beautiful materials, advanced technology, and comfortable, luxurious ride quality, with particular commendation for the infotainment and gauge cluster screens. However, DeMuro is critical of the EQE SUV's polarizing and uninspiring exterior styling, which he feels doesn't match its premium price tag. He also points out the confusing naming convention with the EQE sedan and the higher cost compared to the gasoline-powered GLE. Despite these drawbacks, he concludes that the EQE SUV is a competent and comfortable electric luxury SUV, especially for those who can overlook its styling and price, and are ready to transition to electric vehicles.
