Mercedes-Benz EQE Priced at $75K

Published: November 1st, 2022

Mercedes-Benz has announced pricing for its EQE EV mid-size sedan.

The base price is $74,900.

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan will come in various forms: EQE 350+, EQE 350 4MATIC, and EQE 500 4MATIC. Trim levels are Premium, Exclusive, and Pinnacle. The maximum range is quoted at 305 miles from a 90.6 kWh battery pack.

Premium-trim cars will have MBUX infotainment, a 12.8-inch infotainment screen, and a 12.3-inch gauge/driver-information screen. They'll also have a navigation system that has EV-specific features, such as factoring in available charging stations and driving style into route guidance. It can even show the maximum speed a driver can go if he or she wants to reach their destination without first running out of charge.

Mercedes is also offering the chance for drivers to charge via its own network of charging stations.

As befitting any luxury ride these days, the EQE has plenty of advanced-driving aid systems. Those systems will include blind-spot assist, active lane-keeping assist, LED headlamps with high-beam assist, a surround-view camera, and a parking-assist system.

Other available features will include a Burmeister sound system, OTA updates, ambient lighting, heated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof.

The EQE will arrive in Mercedes-Benz stores this fall.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Looks like a suppository with wheels, but the interior is gorgeous. Fortunately I could never afford it anyway :(

$75K for a car you wouldn't want to take a road trip in (for lack of infrastructure and long re-charge time.)

Groza George My next car will be a PHEV truck if I can find one I like. I travel a lot for work and the only way I would get a full EV is if hotels and corporate housing all have charging stations.I would really like a Toyota Tacoma or Nissan Frontier PHEV
Slavuta Motor Trend"Although the interior appears more upscale, sit in it a while and you notice the grainy plastics and conventional design. The doors sound tinny, the small strip of buttons in the center stack flexes, and the rear seats are on the firm side (but we dig the ability to recline). Most frustrating were the repeated Apple CarPlay glitches that seemed to slow down the apps running through it."
Brandon I would vote for my 23 Escape ST-Line with the 2.0L turbo and a normal 8 speed transmission instead of CVT. 250 HP, I average 28 MPG and get much higher on trips and get a nice 13" sync4 touchscreen. It leaves these 2 in my dust literally
JLGOLDEN When this and Hornet were revealed, I expected BOTH to quickly become best-sellers for their brands. They look great, and seem like interesting and fun alternatives in a crowded market. Alas, ambitious pricing is a bridge too far...
Zerofoo Modifications are funny things. I like the smoked side marker look - however having seen too many cars with butchered wire harnesses, I don't buy cars with ANY modifications. Pro-tip - put the car back to stock before you try and sell it.
