Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE
1st generation (2023-2026), third model year; battery, braking-software, and safety update rather than a redesign
The EQE is Mercedes-Benz’s midsize electric luxury sedan, serving as the battery-powered counterpart to the E-Class. Its core strengths are a quiet cabin, smooth power delivery, long-distance comfort, aerodynamic efficiency, and a highly digital dashboard. Mercedes positions it around user-friendly technology and passenger comfort rather than sports-car handling, with three non-AMG versions balancing maximum range, all-weather traction, or stronger acceleration.
The rear-wheel-drive EQE 350+ is the range-focused version, with an EPA-estimated 308 miles, while the dual-motor EQE 350 4MATIC emphasizes all-weather traction. The 402-hp EQE 500 4MATIC adds rear-wheel steering, leather upholstery, and a full-width three-screen dashboard; all three trims have a panoramic glass roof and a 15-speaker Burmester sound system.
