We drove the all-new, all-electric 2023 Mercedes-EQ EQE350+, EQE350 4Matic, and EQE500 4Matic Luxury SUVs: Here's our take.
In the U.S., three trim levels will be available for the EQE SUV—the 350+, 350 4Matic, and the 500 4Matic. The EQE SUV 350+ has a single rear-mounted motor that's good for 288 hp and 417 lb-ft of torque. The 350 4Matic adds a second motor to the front axle; horsepower output remains 288, but torque increases to 564 lb-ft. Sounds odd, but Mercedes is keeping the price of both EQE SUVs the same.
The rest of the interior is what you've come to expect from a modern Mercedes. It's well appointed with top-shelf materials , great heated/cooled/massaging seats, and some pretty nifty design, save for the all-encompassing Hyperscreen. Inside, the EQS SUV feels a bit smaller than a GLE from the front seats, though rear-seat room is commodious. The EQE SUV is two-row only; luggage space is decent, but the D-pillar's reverse rake eats into it.
Aerodynamics also plays a major role in the EQE SUV's efficiency. When fitted with 19-inch wheels and those goofy running boards, Mercedes claims the EQE SUV achieves a drag coefficient of just 0.25, which, if true, is fantastic for an SUV—any SUV—with such a massive frontal area. Adding bigger wheels hurts the drag coefficient, ratcheting it up to 0.27 on the 22-inch wheels. Side note: For the first model year, American-market EQE SUVs will only be available with optional 21-inch wheels.
I sampled an EQE350+ SUV on 19-inch wheels and an EQE350 4Matic SUV on 21s, and the ride quality was much better in both. Body control through corners while being driven in a sporty manner left something to be desired, however. The EQE SUVs never felt totally planted or fully damped, but at least on the 19- and 21-inch-equipped vehicles nothing was harsh. Going with that, the high-end feel of the cabin turns all such quibbles into,"Wow, what a nasty stretch of road.
