The midsized, five-seat EQE SUV is the electric alternative to the GLE. It shares the dedicated electric platform that underpins the EQS and EQE sedans. The EQE SUV is offered in three configurations. The standard powertrain is a 288-hp for the EQE 350 with either rear or all-wheel drive (4Matic). The EQE 500 4Matic boasts 536 hp. All three use a 90.6-kWh battery that provides 260 miles of range for the EQE sedan. Controls are a bit distracting but manageable. The optional Hyperscreen spans the entire dash and incorporates the instrument cluster and infotainment screen. Other options include four-wheel steering and and air suspension. The mid-level Exclusive trim has augmented reality navigation system and an advanced adaptive cruise control system with lane change ability.

Brand context
About Mercedes-Benz
Most Mercedes-Benzes give their owners industry-leading comfort and technology. The cost of that experience is an expensive base price with expensive options and below-average reliability. The brand produces a wide variety of vehicles for the U.S., including coupes, station wagons, sedans, convertibles, and even two-seat sports cars. Its two- and three-row SUVs that we’ve tested have powerful engines and interiors that are roomy and quiet. Generally, Mercedes-Benz fit and finish, inside and out, is exceptional and helps justify prices. Mercedes-Benz’s EVs range from compact to large three-row SUVs. Across the lineup, controls for the complex climate and infotainment systems aren’t as intuitive as we find in other luxury vehicles. Like most European luxury brands, used Mercedes-Benzes can have expensive out-of-warranty repairs, although Consumer Reports has found used models with above-average reliability.
