Mercedes banks its benchmark mid-size sedan into the EV pocket with EQS-like style and, of course, Hyperscreen.
The EQE breaks no new ground in terms of design. It left the heavy lifting to the EQS, which debuted last year. Inside and out, the EQE looks very similar to the EQS, but the headlights feature different LED daytime running lights that look more E-Class than S-Class. While the EQE still features a cab-forward design with a short hood, short rear deck, and a long cabin, the wheelbase is 3.5 inches shorter than the EQS with an overall length that matches that of.
Swift and nearly noiseless, the powertrain dupes the driver into forgetting speed limit signs; I’m waiting to see how much the bright speed-camera light that flashed at me on some urban Frankfurt byway will cost. Paddle controls let the EQE slip through a range of regenerative braking modes, including one that adapts with navigation data to adopt the ideal ratio to extend driving range.
The basics include a four-link front suspension and a multilink rear suspension both derived from the latest S-Class, with an option for an air suspension and adaptive dampers. A choice between rear-axle steering systems offers drivers either 4.5 or up to 10 degrees of steering angle, the latter of which can shrink the turning radius from 41 feet to 35. Base cars will roll on low-resistance 19-inch tires, while 20- and 21-inchers will be available.
Compared to the larger EQS hatchback, it’s not far off, either, since it rides on the same EVA2 platform. The more striking comparisons come with the gas-powered E-Class: the EQE sits 2.5 inches higher, has 3.5 extra inches of interior room, and sits on a 122.9-inch wheelbase that’s more than seven inches longer than that of the gas-powered E-Class sedan. It’s larger inside, Mercedes says, but it hasn’t produced U.S.-specific interior volumes for a direct comparison.
