ALL-NEW MERCEDES BENZ EQE SEDAN REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes-Benz EQE 500 4MATIC sedan is reviewed as a luxurious and polished electric vehicle, offering strong performance with its dual electric motors and impressive torque. Reviewers found the handling to be stable and the cabin remarkably quiet, a significant improvement over previous Mercedes EV braking feel. However, the design, while improved over the EQS, still carries an "egg shape" that may not appeal to all. Interior criticisms focus on the high-gloss black center console attracting fingerprints and dust, and the lower door panels using hard plastic, which detracts from the expected luxury. The digital driver display placement is also noted as suboptimal, leading some to prefer the optional MBUX Hyperscreen for its better layout. Rear seat comfort is a concern, with a high floor and an uncomfortable seat pitch for longer journeys, though it's considered better than the EQS sedan. Despite these points, the EQE 500 is praised for its quiet ride, luxury appointments, and the availability of advanced features, making it a compelling, albeit expensive, option in the luxury EV sedan market.
