2024 MERCEDES-BENZ EQE 350 REVIEW: EXPECTATIONS ARE SMASHED

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 sedan, initially met with low expectations by the reviewer, ultimately "smashed" them, delivering a surprisingly luxurious and comfortable experience. The "magic carpet ride" provided by the optional air suspension is highlighted as a standout feature, making the car exceptionally serene and isolating occupants from road imperfections. The interior is praised for its quality, tasteful minimalist design, responsive infotainment system, and excellent Burmester sound system. Practicality is also a strong point, with ample boot space. However, the reviewer notes that the "350" trim, while offering AWD and decent torque, can feel slightly underpowered at higher speeds due to the vehicle's significant weight, suggesting the EQE 300 might offer better value for range and cost. Real-world range is estimated to be just under 400km, which is considered adequate but not exceptional for this segment. Despite its high price point (around $160,000 AUD on the road), the EQE 350 is deemed to largely justify its cost through its premium feel and extensive features.
