Default Mercedes EQE Electric SUV: In Showrooms 2023

Mercedes EQE Electric SUV Is a Classy New Choice for Luxury-EV Buyers—and There'll Be an AMG Version
The new Mercedes wears several hats: an electric alternative to the GLE, smaller than the EQS SUV, and more spacious than the EQE sedan. The higher-performance AMG version is coming in 2024.

-Mercedes-Benz has revealed its answer to the Audi e-tron and BMW iX.
-The EQE SUV range will initially include three models, and an AMG model will launch in 2024.
-Built in Alabama, the EQE SUV will arrive in showrooms in 2023.

Unveiled ahead of the 2022 Paris auto show, the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV expands the German company's presence in the fast-growing luxury EV segment. It’s characterized by a futuristic-looking exterior design and an interior brimming with tech features, and it will launch with three powertrains. Looking ahead, the EQE SUV will also spawn Mercedes-AMG's first high-riding electric model.

Much as the EQE is an electric alternative to the E-class, the EQE SUV lands as the GLE’s battery-powered counterpart. It measures 191.5 inches long, 76.4 inches wide, and 66.4 inches tall, slightly shorter and lower than its gasoline-burning sibling. Its weight hasn't been published yet.....

Over-the-air technology promises to let owners configure an à la carte EQE SUV while allowing Mercedes-Benz to earn additional revenue. Motorists will have the option of paying to activate various features after taking delivery via the Mercedes Me store. For example, the Individualization Package that Mercedes-Benz can beam to the infotainment system adds a soundscape named Roaring Pulse, a selection of mini-games, additional coming-home and leaving-home animations, and an intriguing Romance Mode. The company will expand its digital aisle of post-delivery options in the coming years.

At launch, buyers will have three EQE SUV flavors to choose from: 350+, 350 4Matic, and 500 4Matic. The base 350+ has a single electric motor that zaps the rear wheels with 288 horsepower and 417 pound-feet of torque. Selecting the 350 4Matic adds a motor to the front axle and increases torque to 564 pound-feet, though horsepower stays flat, while the range-topping 500 4Matic offers a dual-motor system rated at 536 horsepower and 633 pound-feet of torque. Hitting 60 mph from a stop takes 6.3, 6.2, and 4.6 seconds, respectively, according to Mercedes, while top speed is pegged at 130 mph regardless of the variant.

Every EQE SUV is built on a 90.6-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Mercedes-Benz expects the SUV will earn a driving range rating of about 342 miles when tested using the WLTP cycle used in Europe, which tends to lean towards the optimistic side of the scale, and the EPA hasn’t put the model through its paces yet. Charging from 10 to 80 percent takes approximately 32 minutes when using a 170-kW quick charger, and the drivetrain can charge itself to an extent thanks to three levels of brake energy recuperation.

2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV pricing revealed with an intriguing twist
Mercedes priced its entry-level RWD and AWD models exactly the same
https://www.autoblog.com/2023/03/08/...cing-revealed/

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV is arriving at dealerships this spring, and now we know its price. There will be three powertrain options available from the beginning of sales including the 350+, 350 4Matic and 500 4Matic.

In a deviation from the norm, Mercedes is pricing its single-motor rear-wheel drive 350+ model exactly the same as the dual-motor all-wheel-drive 350 4Matic at $79,050, including the $1,150 destination charge. Mercedes says it’s doing so as an added value play for folks that want AWD — it’s expecting the 350 4Matic to have the highest take rate in the lineup. Just like the price, though, performance between the RWD and AWD models is very similar. The RWD 350+ is rated at 288 horsepower and 417 pound-feet of torque, while the AWD 350 4Matic’s output is 288 horsepower and 564 pound-feet of torque. Mercedes claims a 0-60 mph time of 6.2 seconds with the AWD model versus 6.3 seconds with rear-wheel drive. So, while you’re getting an extra set of driven wheels with the 4Matic model, it really isn’t much quicker. There is a strong change, however, that it won't offer as much range.

If better straight-line performance is what you want, the EQE 500 4Matic SUV is the answer. It’ll cost you $90,650, or $11,600 more than the 350 models. Mercedes uses more powerful electric motors in this model, adding up to a total system output of 536 horsepower and 633 pound-feet of torque. The 0-60 mph time drops to just 4.6 seconds. Your money goes toward more than performance with the 500, too, as Mercedes tacks on the AMG Line exterior package, 20-inch wheels, leather upholstery and its epic 10-degree rear-axle steering system as standard equipment.

All of the above prices are for the EQE SUV’s “Premium” trim level. Mercedes offers both Exclusive and Pinnacle trims with more equipment. Base price for both 350 models in the Exclusive trim is $81,150, and the 500 model brings that up to $92,750. This step up adds every driver assistance extra in the book, active ambient lighting and Mercedes’ trick augmented reality navigation.

The “Pinnacle” trim starts at $85,000 for the 350 models and $96,600 for the 500. For the extra coin, Mercedes adds its Digital Light headlight package, four-zone climate control, an enhanced air purification system, head-up display, faster USB charging, the Energizing Comfort infotainment programs and door light projectors.

These prices put the EQE SUV firmly in competition with the BMW iX and Audi E-Tron (soon to be renamed Q8 E-Tron). We asked Mercedes to provide details on the EQE SUV’s tax credit eligibility, and the answer for the time being is that Mercedes is only able to pass savings on to the consumer via the leasing loophole. The EQE SUV will be built in Mercedes’ Alabama assembly plant and sources its battery pack from a nearby battery factory.
