2024 Mercedes-EQ EQE SUV: Choosing the Right Trim

With its electric powertrain, state-of-the-art technology, and luxury trappings you’ll never find in a Tesla Model Y, the 2024 Mercedes-EQ EQE SUV makes a compelling argument for moving away from gasoline.

Mercedes offers a wide range of trims and powertrains, including a high-performance AMG model. The EQE 350+ gets a 215-kilowatt, rear-mounted electric motor, while the EQE 350 4matic gets a second electric motor up front, giving it all-wheel-drive traction and stability. The rear-drive EQE can travel up to 307 miles on a charge, while its all-wheel-drive counterpart can cover 265 miles.

The EQE 500 4Matic has a more powerful dual-motor setup that increases output to 402 horsepower with a 287-mile range.

The all-new AMG EQE puts out up to 677 hp when properly equipped.

Buyers can choose from three trims: Premium, Exclusive, and Pinnacle. Except for the EQE 500 Premium, which has a few more features than the EQE 350 Premium, the contents for each trim are identical across the board.

The EQE SUV isn’t alone in competing for your luxury dollar. Other choices include the BMW iX, Genesis GV60, Cadillac Lyriq, and the Polestar 3.

What’s New:

The most exciting news is the addition of a high-performance AMG model. New battery packs increase range for the rest of the lineup, while a new braking system improves stopping distance and regenerative capture. Additional changes include new paint colors, interior trim options, a power open/close charge port door, and 20-inch wheels.

Our Recommendation:

The Mercedes EQE SUV Exclusive has most of what we’d like in a luxury EV SUV, and you can always add a few more upgrades. We’d stick with the EQE 350+. It provides the most range and still has lightning-quick acceleration.

These are the manufacturer’s suggested retail prices (MSRP) and include the $1,150 factory-to-dealer delivery fee (destination charge). Prices are current at the time of publishing.

Standard equipment includes heated power front seats with contour ambient light, a wireless charging pad, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a fingerprint scanner for profile authentication (part of the MBUX system).

Directly in front of the driver is a 12.3-inch color display screen housing a digital instrument cluster. Move to the right, and you’ll see a 12.8-inch central OLED portrait-style touchscreen housing the navigation, infotainment, and climate controls.

Wireless connectivity lets you access apps like Apple Music and Spotify. SiriusXM satellite radio is also included, as is the MBUX interface, which makes it possible to use voice commands by simply saying, “Hey, Mercedes.”

FAQ

  • Does the 2024 Mercedes EQ EQE SUV qualify for a tax credit?

    Due to the EQE’s manufacturing origin outside the US, it does not qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit. However, it may still be eligible for local or state credits.

  • How long does it take to charge a 2024 Mercedes-EQ EQE SUV?

    Using a standard 240V Level 2 home charger, the EQE 350 and EQE 500 can charge from 10 to 100% capacity in about 11 hours.

    Using a DC fast-charging station, both models can go from a 10% charge to an 80% charge in about 35 minutes.

  • Which 2024 Mercedes-EQ EQE SUV trim level offers the most safety?

    Due to their additional driver assists, we’d choose the EQE SUV in Exclusive or Pinnacle trims. We expect the EQE SUV to perform well in crash testing, just as the gasoline-powered Mercedes-Benz SUVs do.
