The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV is a battery electric mid-size luxury crossover SUV produced by German luxury brand Mercedes-Benz Group since December 2022. The vehicle was revealed on 16 October 2022, alongside the Mercedes-AMG performance variant. The automaker displayed the entire EQ range in the gardens of the Musée Rodin in Paris on 16 and 17 October, alongside concepts that will preview the company’s electric future.

The SUV follows a similar design style to the rest of the vehicles in the EQ sub-brand. The vehicle is positioned between the D-segment EQC and F-segment EQS SUV in the EQ SUV lineup, and is essentially a sport utility variant of the EQE saloon. The EQE SUV is also the battery electric equivalent to the slightly larger Mercedes-Benz GLE.

Overview

Internally designated X294, the vehicle is based on the newly-established EVA platform, which it shares with the EQE, EQS, and EQS SUV. Produced since December 2022, the vehicle is manufactured at the Mercedes-Benz U.S. International factory, akin to the Mercedes-Benz GLE and GLS ICE models. At 4,860 mm (191 in) long, it is about 60 mm (2.4 in) shorter than the GLE, its ICE counterpart. The vehicle was designed by exterior designer Mayya Markova.

Available in four models – the EQE 300, 350+, 350 4MATIC, and 500, as well as the AMG EQE 43 4MATIC performance variant, with a combined output of 350 kW (469 hp), a 50 kW (67 hp) increase over the standard EQE SUV 500. An even more powerful variant, the AMG EQE 53 4MATIC+, comes with AMG-specific motors and cooling elements that result in a power output of 460 kW (617 hp). All current models were launched in 2023. Additionally, all models feature a 328-volt, 90.6 kWh lithium-ion battery.

The model is a two-row, five seater vehicle. Rear-wheel drive is standard on base models, however all-wheel drive is optional on higher-end models which use the 4MATIC 4WD system. The AMG 53 model uses the 4MATIC+ system. The battery, consisting of 10 modules, are positioned below the floor. The EQE 500 had reached a drag coefficient of 0.25 Cd. The EQE SUV, as well as the EQS SUV, both run on a 400-volt battery architecture.

Features

The EQE SUV features a double wishbone suspension at the front with a multi-link setup and the rear. Rear axle steering with a maximum steering angle of 10 degrees is optional, along with wheel designs and sizes, ranging from 19- to 22-inch. All models are five-seaters and unlike the GLE, there is no third-row option. A large size 12.8-inch touchscreen runs the latest iteration of the newly-introduced MBUX software interface, which can now understand voice commands. The system also features over-the-air update capability that operates via an embedded SIM card. An extra 12.3-inch unit runs as a digital instrument panel, and a head-up display is available which features Mercedes’s augmented-reality navigation system.

A large panoramic sunroof is standard, however, optional features include front massaging seats, four-zone climate control, and an onboard air purifier. A heated steering wheel is also optional. With all seats up, luggage space stands at 580 litres (20 cu ft), comparing well to the W167 GLE at 630 litres (22 cu ft), especially for its shorter size. With the second row down, space stands at 1,690 litres (60 cu ft), down from 2,121 litres (74.9 cu ft) compared to its ICE counterpart.

Available exterior colours are black, Emerald Green Metallic, Polar White, Selenite Grey Metallic, Twilight Blue Metallic, Cirrus Silver Metallic, Alpine Grey, Obsidian Black Metallic, Velvet Brown, and Diamond White Metallic.

Design

The full-width strip lamps which are placed on both front and rear were inspired by the EQC, which was the first vehicle to be a part of the EQ Series. The vehicle features the brand’s characteristic “Black Panel” radiator grille introduced on all EQ models. The front features standard full-LED headlights which are connected seamlessly by a fibre optic strip. The number plate is placed on the bumper, which lets the full-LED taillights to give a full effect. Optionally, the EQE SUV is available with a 3D star pattern. LED “High Performance” headlamps are standard, however “DIGITAL LIGHT” is optional. Exterior windows are on the vehicle’s shoulder for aerodynamic reasons, and flush-fitting door handles are optional.

Its drag coefficient of 0.251 improves aerodynamics which helps to expand range. The EQE 300 was released in September 2022 as a less powerful variant of the 350+.

Charging

Using a wallbox unit, the EQE SUV can handle a capacity of 7.4 kilowatts, and will take a 0-100% charge of around 14 hours. Using a Type 2 unit, at a capacity of 11 kW, AC charging takes 9 hours and 45 minutes. Charging via a CCS charger (Combo 2) at a capacity of up to 173 kW, fast charging will take 28 minutes.

2024 update

For the 2024 model year, the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV received several updates to improve efficiency, driving dynamics and user convenience. Dual-motor 4MATIC variants now include a disconnect unit that decouples the front motor when not needed, helping reduce energy consumption and boost range. The braking system has been retuned to enhance pedal feel and address earlier concerns about regenerative braking response. Although the EQE SUV already featured a standard heat pump since launch, this efficiency-focused thermal management system continues to support better cold-weather performance. Battery capacities were also slightly increased: the EQE 350+ and EQE 500 4MATIC now use a 96.0 kWh pack (up from 90.6 kWh), while the EQE 350 4MATIC receives a 90.6 kWh unit (up from 89.0 kWh). Additionally, all 2024 models now come equipped with a powered charging port door.
