FIRST RIDE IN THE MERCEDES EQE 350 RWD: HOW DOES THE ELECTRIC CLS / E-CLASS EV FEEL?

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes EQE 350 RWD is presented as a more driver-focused electric limousine, positioned between the E-Class and CLS in spirit, offering a sportier and more agile feel than its larger EQS sibling. Key highlights include exceptional energy efficiency, with real-world range closely matching certification figures, and impressive maneuverability thanks to the optional rear-axle steering, which significantly reduces the turning radius. The reviewer praises the car's quietness, comparable to the EQS, and the smooth, powerful acceleration characteristic of electric vehicles. Downsides mentioned are the lack of a heat pump, which can severely impact winter range, and the conventional trunk design, sacrificing the fastback practicality of the EQS. While the driving dynamics are lauded, particularly the agility and connection to the road, the reviewer ultimately leans towards the EQE for its more compact feel and driving engagement, even over the more luxurious EQS, especially for those who enjoy driving themselves.
