Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV is a reset of its core lineup: the renamed EQE 320+ and EQE 320 4MATIC each make 315 hp, an increase of 27 hp. The EQE 500 4MATIC is dropped, but there is no major redesign.
About the 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV
1st generation (2023-2027), fourth model year; major powertrain and model-range reset without a redesign
Mercedes-Benz presents the EQE SUV as a midsize electric SUV built around quiet comfort, intuitive cabin technology, useful cargo space, and confident road manners. Its core appeal is the combination of a traditional Mercedes luxury experience with smooth electric power and a more manageable size than the EQS SUV. The 2026 range separates long-distance rear-wheel-drive efficiency from dual-motor all-weather traction while preserving the same five-seat cabin and technology-focused interior.
The EQE 320+ is the range-focused version, pairing rear-wheel drive with a 96.0-kWh battery and a 302-mile EPA estimate. The EQE 320 4MATIC emphasizes all-weather traction with dual motors, all-wheel drive, and 564 lb-ft of torque; both have a 12.8-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument display, and heated power front seats.
