Mercedes-Benz ventured into the electric vehicle (EV) market by introducing its EQ sub-brand, with the successful launch of the EQS sedan in 2022. The EQS, essentially an all-electric version of the iconic Mercedes S-Class flagship, paved the way for the new EQE sedan, a midsize offering that follows in its footsteps. Despite its smaller size and more affordable price point, the EQE doesn’t compromise on power and luxury, making it an attractive choice for environmentally conscious buyers.

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE comes in four trim levels, starting with the base EQE 350+ and reaching the high-performance AMG EQE variant. In terms of range, the EQE is estimated to offer up to 400 miles on a single charge, although real-world testing is needed to verify this figure. Additionally, there’s an EQE SUV version in the pipeline, adding to the model lineup.

While there are currently no direct competitors in its class, the more affordable BMW i4 provides a smaller and sportier alternative. On the higher end, you have the pricier Porsche Taycan and the related Audi e-tron GT, both of which are exceptional EVs. The new Mercedes EQE positions itself as a balanced choice, offering a middle ground between various electric vehicles.

For the 2024 model year, the EQE Sedan remains largely unchanged, continuing its first-generation production without significant updates.
