| 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV |
Starting at 83.478.50 Euros plus additional costs, the EQE SUV is the third all-original Mercedes-EQ SUV that slots between the EQC and the EQS SUV, the middleman of the range. Although it couldn't find a suitable opponent in its class, in terms of sizing and pricing, the EQE SUV feels unrivaled at the moment.

As expected, the EQE SUV is basically an EQS SUV that was shrunk to GLE sizing but despite the Russian doll effect, the EQE SUV is athletic and dynamic in every angle. Who says electric crossovers can't be sexy?

Inside, the EQE SUV's dashboard can be configured in two ways; a tall touchscreen that works like a Tesla or the super-sized touchscreen that occupies the entire dashboard which is known as the MBUX Hyperscreen. On the passenger side, the EQE SUV is good for up to five people and because it's too expensive to be used as a family mover, the only purpose the EQE SUV can do is escort pro-democracy politicians, philanthropists, and other good people who care the environment more than anything else. As for the boot space, it can carry up to 1,675 liters of goods with the split-folding rear bench folded down. For business or leisure, the EQE SUV does it all.
The base EQE 300 SUV variant has 180kw of power output and 573km of driving range based on WLTP standards while the EQE 350 can be configured in either rear-wheel-drive or with 4MATIC, producing 292 PS of power, 565 Nm of torque, and driving range between 480-590 km per WLTP standards, and the top-of-the-line EQE 500 4MATIC with 408 PS of power output, 858 Nm of torque output, and driving range between 460-547 km.

Those who want more should consider the Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV range. In addition to signature AMG elements inside and out, the high-performance models are bolted to a 90.6 kWh Li-ion battery pack with a maximum recuperation capacity of 260 kW.
The EQE 43 SUV has 476PS of power and 858Nm of torque, making it capable of going 0-100kph in 4.3 seconds and flat-out at 210kph. The EQE 53 SUV, meanwhile, produces 625PS of power and 950Nm of torque by default but thanks to an optional extra, stats have raised to 687ps and 1,000Nm, making it capable of a 0-100kph time of 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 240 km/h.
Although the driving feel is rather mild because of the bulk of the electric powertrain or probably it needs the added subscription service that makes it sharper to drive, the EQE SUV features a high level of passive and active safety such as Attention Assist, Active Brake Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Parking Package, and Speed Limit Assist as standard.
The Assistance Package (includes Active Distance Assist Distronic, Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist) and Driving Assist Plus Package (Active Steering Assist, Active Lane Change Assist, Active Emergency Stop Assist, cross-traffic functions, Evasive Steering Assist, Pre-Safe Plus) are optional extras for added levels of safety.
For an unrivaled electric luxury crossover that has the looks of the EQS SUV and the size of the GLE, the EQE SUV takes pride in being a class of its own because not a single luxury electric crossover dared enough to challenge. Maybe someday, someone will.
