The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 is an all-electric crossover that does a lot of things very well, which shouldn’t be a surprise because it’s an EV sedan, a car we ended up loving. Here’s what we like, and what you shouldn’t waste your time paying extra for.
Think of the all-electric 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan as a smaller, albeit similarly distinctive, version of the Mercedes EQS. Both models represent electrified alternatives to the brand’s conventional E-class and S-class models. The EQE’s slippery bodywork and spacious cabin share styling cues with the larger EQS.
With a single electric motor mounted on its rear axle, the EQE350+ generates 288 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque. Mercedes says this setup will allow the sedan to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds on its way to an estimated top speed of 130 mph. The all-wheel drive EQE350 4Matic model adds an electric motor to drive the front wheels, but still only puts out a total of 288 ponies. An all-wheel-drive EQE500 version will be offered with dual electric motors tuned up to a combined 402 horses.
Inside, the EQE combines an elegant design with rich materials as well as generous passenger space and cubby storage. A floating centre console separates the front seats, which come standard with heated and ventilated cushions. These thrones can also be upgraded with massage functions. Every EQE has a panoramic sunroof and customizable ambient interior lighting that traces the dash and doors, creating a distinct aesthetic when lit.
Unfortunately, while we love the interior’s lovely aesthetic, we wish the sedan’s outward visibility was better. Its cabin can be further decked out with options such as a head-up display, four-zone climate control, and front doors that can be opened and closed automatically. The EQE’s skateboard-like electric platform is a boon to packaging, providing comfortable passenger accommodations and competitive cargo capacity.
