What's New for 2025?
The EQE SUV is unchanged aside from some minor equipment adjustments, including newly optional soft-close doors. The AMG variant also gains a center airbag between the front seats and a digital vehicle key as standard. Notably, the EPA has reduced its range estimates for the EQE SUV across the board.
FAST FACTS
"The problem with the EQE SUV isn't that it's uncompetitive; rather, it's that this machine is merely an also-ran, which is not the customary position for a Mercedes product. You can get 300-mile range if you want it, or you can sacrifice some miles in return for more power, but there are no virtues here that stand out relative to the competition. The maximum DC charge rate of 170 kW, meanwhile, stands out for being lackluster, as does the soap-bar styling."—Ranked #5 out of 6 Midsize Luxury Electric SUVs

Adding a second motor to the EQE gives you all-wheel drive but costs you about 50 miles of range. Unusually, acceleration remains on par with what the single-motor EQE 350+ SUV can manage; when we see a second motor added to the equation, we typically expect major improvement in that area. The two versions start at the same price, so you can decide whether range or AWD is more important. Also unusual is the fact that the EQE 350 4MATIC SUV gets a slightly smaller battery pack than the 350+ version, but this would help explain the range drop and acceleration parity.
Comparing the single-motor EQE 350+ SUV to its EQE 350+ Sedan counterpart, the SUV packs elevated seating into a shorter overall package, but it shares the sedan's weaknesses in acceleration and DC charging speed. Still, this feels like the sweet spot in the EQE SUV lineup — a range of 300-plus miles and 0-60 in the 6-second range is as good as it gets here overall.
Putting cost aside for a moment, the EQE 500 delivers a decent range and powerful acceleration, so that's a good start. But at nearly $90k to start, it's competing with some serious machinery.
The EQE AMG SUV certainly delivers big acceleration, as you'd expect from the AMG name, but it also takes a big bite out of the EQE SUV's range. A six-figure electric SUV with 230 miles of range is a challenging proposition.
