July 27 2023,
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE Sedan is a shining testament to the brand's commitment to a future powered by electric mobility. As part of Mercedes-Benz's ambitious EQ sub-brand, the EQE currently sits at the entrance of the impressive Mercedes-Benz electric sedan lineup along with the luxurious EQS. This fully electric executive sedan is a revolutionary blend of classic Mercedes-Benz elegance and advanced electric vehicle technology.
Design and Aesthetics
The exterior design of the EQE borrows a few styling cues from the flagship EQS, but it has its own distinct charm. It sports a streamlined 'one-bow' silhouette, distinctive LED headlight designs, and a prominent 'Black Panel' front grille that beautifully houses the central Mercedes star. The aerodynamic design not only gives the car its futuristic looks but also contributes to its impressive electric range.
Inside, the EQE continues the trend of high-quality interiors that Mercedes-Benz is known for. It includes sustainable materials and artfully crafted details that provide a plush environment. The car is home to an available 'Hyperscreen', a massive, curved display panel that stretches across the entire width of the dashboard, integrating digital instrument cluster, infotainment, and climate control systems.
Performance
There are three versions of the new EQE sedan. Every single EQE sedan features 4Matic all-wheel drive, ensuring optimal performance in winter. The EQE 350, the first model of the series, offers 288 horsepower and an impressive 564 lb-ft of torque which enables it to reach 100 km/h in just 6.3 seconds. The second model is the EQE 500 which ups the performance 402 horsepower and 633 pound-feet of torque, reaching 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds. Last but not least is the impressive AMG EQE 4MATIC+ which delivers 617 horsepower and 701 pound-feet of torque, enough to power it to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds.
Just as impressive is the range which reaches 418 kilometres thanks to a 90-kWh battery that can be charged from 10% to 80% in just 31 minutes using a high-power DC charger.
Technology
The aforementioned MBUX Hyperscreen is the highlight of the EQE's technology offerings. It provides a seamless user interface with haptic feedback and an AI-supported system that can learn and adapt to the driver's preferences. It houses the latest generation MBUX system which includes advanced voice command capability along with an impressive navigation system with electric intelligence that can help you better plan your route to maximize range and find available charging stations while preconditioning the battery for optimal charging. Moreover, it will tell you if you have enough range to reach your destination based on the route you are traveling, the weather, and more.
Other tech features include augmented reality navigation and over-the-air updates. It also offers the Energizing package, which allows occupants to create a personalized atmosphere in the car, combining ambient lighting, climate control, and sound to create various moods.
Safety
On the safety front, Mercedes-Benz continues to excel with the EQE. The sedan is equipped with the latest generation of the Mercedes-Benz driving assistance package. This includes features such as automated emergency braking, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring. The EQE also boasts an advanced regenerative braking system, ensuring that energy recovery is as efficient as possible.
With the 2024 EQE sedan, Mercedes-Benz has once again proved its dedication to creating vehicles that blend luxury, performance, and sustainability. This executive electric sedan not only offers a competitive range and performance but also envelops its occupants in a level of luxury that is quintessentially Mercedes-Benz.
