We thoroughly tested the new all-electric Mercedes EQE sedan to find out what it offers conventional E450 buyers who are looking for something new.
, the more we discovered it has a spirit all its own. In place of that E-Class magic is a luxury-first, -second, and -third package that beats the E on one metric but falters in others. Here's why the 2023 Mercedes EQE350 4Matic isn't an obvious choice.
. The G80 EV has standard all-wheel drive and boasts 282 miles of range, but it lacks the variety of models Mercedes provides within the EQE lineup.Higher in the EQE sedan range is the more powerful EQE500 4Matic model. At the top of the EQE line is the Mercedes-AMG EQE, which offers up to 677 hp from two motors.
One bright spot is the Rear-Axle Steering system, technology we've seen on other Mercedes cars, too. On the EQE350, it has the same effect: It makes the car feel more maneuverable thanks to the rear wheels' ability to rotate in the opposite direction to the fronts at low speeds. Our test car had the 10-degree version of the feature; a less extreme 4.5-degree system is also available.Our Pinnacle-trim 2023 Mercedes EQE350 made a stunning first impression inside.
That's too bad, as the 2023 Mercedes EQE350 brings down the cost of a non-SUV electric Mercedes compared to the EQS four-door. The EQE350 lacks the acceleration of the single-spec G80 Electric, but the Mercedes is quick enough and it's backed by a longstanding brand many trust. But there are too many compromises for us to recommend it the way we did the E-Class two years ago.
