2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan-sense of technology
Mercedes-Benz no longer plans to realize all-electric motorization in 2030; However, electric vehicles still play an important role in the future of this German automobile manufacturer. In addition to EQE cars, Mercedes-Benz also introduced EQE SUV, EQB SUV, EQS sedan and EQS SUV, which improved its electric vehicle product line.
The shape of the medium-sized EQE sedan is similar to that of the brand’s flagship EQS electric sedan. It may be one of the best aerodynamic models on the road, but its sleek appearance and solid grille may deter some buyers. However, EQE’s luxury car cabin is made of high-quality materials, which makes drivers satisfied from the inside out.
Like other high-end Mercedes-Benz models, EQE has a high-tech cockpit with a large infotainment screen in the center of the large dashboard. There is also a 12.3-inch driver display screen, which can be configured in a variety of styles. The infotainment system is very intuitive to use and can interact through touch screen or voice; Almost all physical controls have been canceled.
Mercedes-Benz offers 2025 EQE cars with various performance levels, from the basic EQE 350+ to the AMG EQE with an extreme horsepower of 600 HP. EQE cars can travel 307 miles per charge-not as far as Lucid Air or Tesla Model S, but slightly better than Genesis Electrified G80, Polestar 2 and BMW i5.

conclusion
EQE is the second all-electric car of Mercedes-Benz, and its luxurious high-tech cockpit adopts aerodynamic design. With excellent performance and efficient electric power system, EQE stands out in the mid-size luxury car market.
Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan will enter the 2025 model year with minimal changes.
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan has four interior grades: 350+, 350 4Matic, 500 4Matic and AMG EQE. EQE 350+ is a popular choice, but we recommend EQE 500 4Matic. We will explain the reasons below.
The basic price of EQE 350+ is $76,050 (including the destination fee of $1,150), and it is equipped with 19-inch alloy wheels, automatic dual-zone climate control, MB-Tex interior, panoramic sunroof, 64-color ambient lighting, 12.3-inch driver display, 12.8-inch OLED touch screen display, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and Burmester 3D surround sound system.
EQE 350 4Matic is priced at $79,050, adding a motor to power the front wheels, which can provide extra power and all-season capability of all-wheel drive.
EQE 500 4Matic is equipped with a more powerful dual-motor transmission system, and the steering angle of the rear wheel is as high as 10 degrees, which improves the maneuverability and maneuverability. EQE 500 also has a leather interior in the cabin. As far as we are concerned, EQE 500 4Matic has elegant cabin and game-changing rear wheel steering, and its performance is excellent.
AMG has more than 600 horsepower and sufficient instantaneous torque, which has raised its performance to another level. Starting at $108,050, it stands out in EQE series with 20-inch alloy wheels and advanced AMG aerodynamic design. The interior is equipped with AMG high-performance steering wheel and sports seat, brushed stainless steel pedals and natural textured wood ornaments.
All 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE cars use 90.6 kWh lithium-ion batteries installed on the vehicle floor. The basic EQE 350+ is equipped with a single motor to drive the rear wheel, with an output of 288 HP and a torque of 391 lb-ft. EQE 350 4Matic added a second motor to drive the front wheels. The horsepower remained the same, but the torque increased to 564 lb-ft, and the performance improved slightly. EQE 500 4Matic is equipped with two motors, with a total output of 402 HP and a torque of 633 lb-ft. Mercedes-Benz estimates that EQE 350+ will accelerate to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds, while EQE 500 4Matic will complete the same task in 4.5 seconds.
The high-performance AMG EQE is equipped with a more powerful dual-motor system, which can produce 617 horsepower and 701 pound-feet of torque. If you choose the AMG Dynamic Plus kit, the output power will increase to 677 HP and 738 lb-ft, and Mercedes claims that it will reach 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds.
The acceleration of the basic EQE 350+ will not make you fidgety like other electric vehicles, but for drivers who are new to electric vehicles, the instant power output will still make people feel extraordinary. AMG EQE will bring that kind of confusing pleasure in an instant. Even more disturbing, EQE completed all the operations in a strange silence. When driving on the highway, you will only hear the wind in the distance. Road noise is hard to detect. However, you can choose to synthesize noise to subtly indicate your driving speed.
The ride comfort is stronger than that of Mercedes EQS limousine, but this is expected. EQE car aims to increase driver participation and provide slightly better performance, and it easily achieves this goal. AMG EQE is a clear choice for drivers who pursue sports performance, and most buyers will find that the basic EQE 350+ is enough.
The horsepower of EQE car is not inferior to that of competitors. Polestar 2 has a horsepower of 231 to 406 horsepower. The Genesis Electrified G80 has a horsepower of 350 HP, while the configuration level of Lucid Air ranges from 480 to 1,050 HP.
According to the data of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE 350+ has the longest cruising range in this series, and can travel 307 miles after each charge. The EPA cruising range of the dual-motor EQE 350 4Matic is 280 miles, while that of EQE 500 4Matic is 298 miles. During the driving of EQE 500, the driving computer showed that the remaining battery power was 75% and the estimated driving distance was 250 miles, which indicated that the total cruising range should be close to the EPA’s estimated value.
It is estimated that it takes 9.5 hours to charge the battery from 10% to 100% at the secondary charging station. EQE car can charge DC quickly at the rate of up to 170 kW, and it only takes 32 minutes to charge the battery from 10% to 80%.
With the Mercedes me Charge plan, charging is more convenient. The system cooperates with multiple charging networks to handle all transactions through one account, which simplifies access and billing. It also allows plug-and-play, so that you only need to plug in the power supply for the vehicle without swiping the card or entering information.
As can be seen from the interior, the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan is a scaled-down EQS sedan. Looking forward from the driver’s seat, it is difficult to distinguish the two. In the standard configuration, EQE’s dashboard is mainly a large touch screen in the center, and there is a small display screen similar to a tablet computer on the dashboard. The optional "super screen" wraps two screens in a striking glass plate, from door to door. Another additional screen allows front passengers to control multiple functions. The super screen is a bold choice, which significantly changes the look and feel of the cockpit. It is very modern, but it is also prone to distracting reflections. Although the super screen is impressive, we prefer the simpler layout of the single-center display.
The seat is comfortable and the carriage is spacious. The front seats and cushions are carefully designed to provide you with hours of comfortable travel. Although the rear seat can accommodate adult passengers, the seat itself is quite hard. The front roof pillar is thick and the rear window is narrow, which slightly affects the external view, but most luxury cars do.
In order to store personal belongings, EQE is equipped with a large central armrest box, a cup holder and a door pocket of moderate size, and a wireless charging pad for smart phones. There is also a very large tray under the central console for storing items. The trunk can hold up to 15 cubic feet of goods, which is smaller than the average level of medium-sized luxury cars, but it should be enough for most buyers. Unlike most electric vehicles, EQE has no front compartment.
Competitor Genesis Electrified G80 has a smaller cargo space, with a trunk of only 10.8 cubic feet. The cargo space of BMW i5 is 17.3 cubic feet.
Whether you choose the standard 12.3-inch touch screen or the super screen option of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE car, you can get one of the best infotainment systems on the market. MBUX system is easy to use, thanks to the big screen buttons, logical menu structure and quick response. It also has one of the best voice command systems. All you have to do is say "Hey Mercedes, I’m a little cold" and it will raise the temperature by several degrees.
Many users will want to use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and Mercedes has both wireless versions as standard. However, they may want to use EQE’s MBUX navigation system because it has optional augmented reality coverage. It shows the real-time video of the road ahead, and overlays animated arrows to show where you need to turn. It is very useful in strange towns and complex intersections.
Genesis also provides an excellent system in its Electrified G80. It includes a 14.5-inch touch screen and a full set of latest technology functions. The BMW i5 uses a curved display, which includes a configurable 12.3-inch information screen and a 14.9-inch color infotainment touch screen, which is slightly tilted towards the driver and can control most functions.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the American Highway Safety Insurance Association (IIHS) have not yet conducted a crash test on the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan, but if other Mercedes-Benz vehicles show any signs, it is expected to get the highest score.
The basic EQE 350 is equipped with frontal collision mitigation system, blind spot monitor, lane keeping auxiliary system and automatic high beam. Other functions (such as adaptive cruise control, panoramic camera system and more complicated upgrade of existing functions) can be provided as standard configuration for optional or high-end models.
Electric vehicles are still a growing market segment, but the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan faces direct competition from German competitor BMW. BMW i5 offers a similar level of luxury and performance, with a lower starting price, but the driving distance after charging is not as good as EQE. Porsche Taycan and related Audi e-tron GT are more expensive and have better performance, but the cruising range is slightly shorter, with 282 miles and 236 miles respectively. Tesla Model S and Lucid Air have strong power and performance, but the price may be much higher than that of EQE cars.
