Consider the EQE the EV equivalent of the E-Class.
The all-wheel-drive EQE 350 4Matic we tested has a 91-kilowatt-hour battery and an EPA-estimated driving range of 267 miles, although it managed an impressive 332 miles in our highway range testing.
The base rear-drive EQE 350+ is rated at 308 miles by the EPA.
The EQE's 288 hp might not seem impressive, but with 564 lb.-ft.
of instant torque, acceleration is decisively quick.
The ride is comfortable, and handling is surprisingly agile.
The brake pedal has a disconcertingly mushy feel, even though stopping distances are short.
The swanky interior is attractive, but the controls are too distracting, and it's annoying that the steering wheel rim blocks the upper portion of the driver's instrument screen.
The 2023 EQE four-door sedan is the latest EV offering from Mercedes-Benz.
With its futuristic styling, inside and out, the new offering is positioned to go head-to-head with the leading premium EVs, like the Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan.
The first model, called EQE 350, comes with 288 hp and rear-wheel drive; other versions, including those equipped with all-wheel drive, will be introduced later.
Among its distinguishing features, the EQE offers a massive 'Hyperscreen,' more than 56 inches wide and encompassing the entire instrument panel.
Standard safety equipment includes FCW, AEB with pedestrian detection, BSW, and RCTW.
