No-one has ever said that a Mercedes-Benz was cheap, but the new EQE SUV is a lot of money. But is it actually the best electric Mercedes-Benz yet? And is a better bet than the larger, even more expensive EQS SUV? In our first road test review of 2024, Bryan puts the new EQE SUV through its paces to deliver the definitive verdict.

AutoEV - all electric, all independent.

    I test drove the BMWiX and loved it. Very controlled driving, surprisingly good in corners, quiet and well built.

    Nice review. In Canada, it starts at Cdn$94k. I purchased an Audi Q4 for Cdn $59k - 9k rebates = $50k. So if you just need a solid, 5 passenger, 4-wheel drive, German-made EV, the Audi is amazing value.
  • Did you ever at auto ev do a review of the model X? Aware the S and X is left hand drive in the uk at the moment. Some good used prices for the X. Just wait a year for EQE to depreciate I don’t think the design has changed much if you look at the EQC?

    I prefer the SUV shaped of the GLE. And especially the ground clearance on the GLE.
  • @Jean-de-lune
    Rest assured depeciation will be reassurigly catastrophic.

    I love it. But I think £50k for my EQA for me and my daughter is enough car and enough money 😅
  • @jaggykhela9028
    No frunk/froot is an issue with Merc EQ range. But infotainment and badge is thumbs up
  • @johnmull59
    Poor low speed ride not really acceptable in any car really, especially a premium luxury. Personally I think the external looks are somewhat bland.

    the bit I forgot and left out is the range of my ordered car is over 550 miles I will make that range work as I have a EVO 6 rally car range 200 miles I managed just over 300 miles
  • @happysporran
    Excellent review, but unfortunately the car is less impressive (for its price).

    Good day as a fellow Scot I want bang for my Pounds, now I'm glad you spoke about KIA I was in the EV9 GT last week however I was not happy with the price of £83,000 however I turned around to the Sportage 1.6T GDi 212 HEV GT-Line S 5dr Auto AWD Hybrid Estate 226 HP and boy was I impressed I wanted to be taken out with me sitting on the passenger side however the car was that comfortable I fell a sleep I'm not kidding. so I ordered one as for the EQE SUV far to expensive my car with added side door steps at extra £900 car just under £44,000 and when you step into the EV9 you won't touch the sided however don't be fooled my car has the identical hight in stepping in to as I bought the car for stepping side ways into the car as I have 20 bulging disks in my spine the EV9 is the same enjoy the EV9 as I did and I no my cars and I no what to keep clear of have a nice day

    The interior design is terrible to me, exterior looks not good either.
