Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV: generations, battery, charging and trims
The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV is a luxurious mid-sized electric SUV introduced in 2022. We look at the generations, battery, charging, trims, and what you need to know before buying a used or low-mileage EQE SUV.
EQE SUV in brief
The EQE SUV is the electric counterpart to the GLE and GLC models: it's built on the dedicated electric vehicle platform EVA2 and features the typical Mercedes-Benz EQ family's 'one-bowl' design. The interior is spacious, quiet, and modernly equipped.
The model is often purchased as a luxurious family car for long journeys, where comfort and technology are key, rather than maximum sportiness.
Which version to choose
The base version EQE 350+ comes with rear-wheel drive and is the most economical. The EQE 350 4MATIC offers all-wheel drive, while the EQE 500 4MATIC features a more powerful system, around 400 hp.
The sporty AMG EQE SUV versions (43 and 53) are significantly more powerful and expensive, aimed at enthusiasts.
In the used market, you'll mostly find the base versions. The key is the service history, battery condition, and remaining manufacturer warranty.
Battery, power and charging
Most EQE SUVs come with around 90 kWh of usable battery capacity, allowing for several hundred kilometres of range according to the WLTP cycle. Real-world range depends on speed, temperature, and driving style.
The car can be charged at home with an AC charger or quickly at public DC stations. Charging time depends on the station's power and the battery's temperature.
There's no gearbox — a single-speed reducer is used. Power output depends on the version: from around 290 hp up to over 600 hp in AMG versions.
What to check when buying a used EQE SUV
First, request a battery condition report or service history, and check the remaining manufacturer's warranty. Realistically test the driving range and charging.
Check the air suspension (if present), brakes, and tyres, as the heavy car wears them out faster. Also, ensure that screens, cameras, and driver-assistance systems are working.
Check if the software has been updated and if any manufacturer recall work has been done.
