Mercedes EQE: Let’s be honest about this.

- The make or break car is #MercedesBenz’s bid to conquer the #Electriccar world?! Based on the same EVA2 platform as the EQS, the #EQE is the mid level super luxury business sedan that borrows more than you’d believe from the EQS: like the self opening comfort doors, soft closing doors, the exact same hyperscreen interior, rear wheel steering, and much more!
The first model is this EQE 350, which is a rear wheel drive only model. It has a 90kWh battery with a staggering 660KM range. EQE charges 250KM in just 15 mins, all this despite having a smaller battery.
Great aerodynamics contributes to this too thanks to the one bow design and front cab shape, close to the world record holding EQS, with a 0.22CD value.
The EQE 350 provides 288BHP, a 0-60 of 5.6 seconds and Torque of 550NM. There will be a 4matic version to come, which will bring in another electric motor to the front with more power: over 500 BHP, and a quicker 0-60 of around 4 seconds!
Will there come an EQE AMG? I’d bet on it, check out video on the EQS 53 AMG to see what that might be like: I’ve rendered the EQE 53 for you in the video anyway!
I’ll of course compare the car to EQS directly, EQE is 90mm shorter. But about the same size as the E Class/CLS! And we will look at both the Electric Art and out AMG line exterior.
Interior is amazing, 90mm more legroom than E Class which is huge, and a benefit of the cab forward Design. The car has OTA updates - like sound experience which I’ll show you the 3 sounds for the EQE. It also gets digital light like EQS, and even driving modes for young drivers. The Hyperscreen is the same size as EQS, and is optional vs two sizes of Vertical screen like S-Class.

16:50 “Now, I’m gonna take you in the rear” - Thanks for the offer Raz, bit busy atm though ✋
🤣🤣🤣
I’m just here to see who else notice this 😂
Could've offered to buy you a drink first
Then there's the face you make when you realise 'atm' has two meanings
Will...yeah I think its also time for this epic yt comment:
So, men of culture, we meet again...
The fact that the car actually keeps your focus on the road by having tec that senses when you are distracted. Done. Lets see this thing roll.. Wicked vid. Thank you RBR team.
first car channel to even mention (or better: show) the base version of this interior without hyperscreen (yes it is a rather expensive option) will have my greatest respect.
Beautiful car. Flowing lines with classic beauty. My favorite car of all time is the original Bentrley type R from the 1950’s. This runs it close in looks. What would make it even more beautiful would be a push of the front axle further forward with a smaller front overhang. Technically it would probably be good, and it would make the cab forward look slightly less forward. For an even better look.
Every day this looks better and better. I'll have to give it a try when they arrive in Finland next summer. I feel like i might end up buying this.
Or maybe your eyes are getting uglier.
It looks like it has better proportions compared to EQS. It's not as much and eye sore as the EQS though
I agree! Still not a fan of the all black plastic grille. Wish it was body colored imo
I don’t think the EQS is that ugly, but i agree, the EQE looks better.
The EQS concept looked better, but the production version is growing on me. EQE is sexier.
looks small
@@leogronung3146 the eqs looks somewhat more impressive
I feel like I want electric cars to be designed like vegan burger substitute foods. To look as much a real burger as possible ( like the new g wagon) but have a different make up.
The issue is not that EVs look different, but that they look super forced electric. Almost all of them are super weirdly designed. Like they scream electric car. The only one who gets it right is porsche with the taycan. It doesn‘t look like any regular porsche, but also has no forced ev shape. Its just a beautiful car.
What Mercedes did here was choosing functionality over design. This leads to the one bow design for aerodynamics and a very short hood to provide more passenger space at the same length and make use of the possibilities of EVs.
And to be honest the EQE at least looks better than the EQS even if they almost look the same. Im not sure why, but the proportions and front look better.
@@timonxDlol the BMW ix3 didn't look too off the normal one and the upcoming i4 doesn't look that bad.
Very well said 👍
It's not like the take advantage of the new placement of batteries and motors, so they might as well make them look the same.
The new s class looks great. Would be nice to have it as ev instead of the eqs.
I,d rather have cars escape the prison they are in with ic-engines, same as with drop chassis the design started to steer away from horse carriage.
the design of the EQS has grown on me so definetly liking the looks of the EQE
Anyone else impressed by how accurate the reflection of EQS on the floor was made?
Interior is stunning. My MY19 e class suddenly looks ancient!
Next year im switching in my EQB 300 4-Matic and get this when it comes as EQE 250+. This car does have everything and when u see it live as i did today it actually looks amazing with a nice pair of rims on it.
wonderful review, tons of details.
Missed an opportunity with outside design. Interior outstanding. If the EQS and EQE where closer to concept you would have a car that would have dominated the market!
I think this car looks AMAZING! I love the front with the air-takes, lights and grill. The side view is fluid and clean! The rear looks wonderful with the single light bar! Entering the cabin is bright, cozy and very futuristic! This vehicle is absolutely stunning!
I completely agree with your thoughts about the exterior design. I wish there were more real buttons for the main functions in the interior. Exciting car overall.

Beautiful competitors
Do you know if these sound settings are also available if you do not have the hyperscreen option?
The grill has been such an essential part of mercedes design identity that they seem to be struggling without it on these electric cars, and the black panel alternative isn't cutting it.
Mercedes isn’t the only one with that problem.
True, but honestly they try their best, those complaining also don’t know what they want
I gotta say i was really disappointed with the design decisions made in the latest ICE models (E-Class, S-Class), but seeing the EQS and EQE i think they're doing a lot of things right. Love the way they went for an organic, not really sharp design but still managed to make it look futuristic and elegant at the same time. I think one can clearly tell they've been focusing a lot more on the BEVs than ICE cars. It's a great evolution of their design IMO.
Futuristic without overdoing it.
My favourite EQ car now and can't wait for it to make landfall. The 4Matic will be great not to mention the AMG version.
The All-Electric Future will be here sooner than expected. Mercedes-Benz is ready! Excellent presentation Raz, Thank You. ✔
I have to say that Superimposing over lay thing is very nice . BRAVO.. EXCELLENT.. suscribed.
I have to say i might order this
That Roaring sound is literally a lightsaber retracting
From what I can see the EQXX is gonna look gooood
Although the styling might not be amazing I think with the efficiency and range that the shape allows it makes you look at it differently. They had to achieve the low drag coefficient somehow, A range of 660 Km is impressive...
This is the one I have been waiting for. For me it’s stunning and definitely on my list as first EV. Many thanks for sharing
How much money?
Do people really like those mini stars on the grill? I find them really tacky
That savage instant transmission 🔥 my man
i miss the separate quad lights of the E
I don't understand why the steering wheel looks to be almost level with the center of your head... is the driver seat position properly?
When will the EQE be released in the US for 2022?
Thank you
Did this mans just start the video with instant transmission?? God I love millennials.. Subbed!!!!
I'm hoping that the washer bottle opening is lockable. BMW iX have a similar _easy to open washer bottle_ opening too.
I can imagine this....
It's late one Saturday night. Two lads been out on the piss going home.
"I really need a piss. I'm desperate for one but there's no where open or to go."
"Don't worry. There's a new EQS (Or BMW iX!) ahead. You can open the washer bottle and piss into it and just say you're topping your car up!"
Great review 👍🏼👏🏼
When will we get the estate version??
That interior looks like the future.
i appreciate that they choose a different design than e class but i can’t used to the new front look of both eqe and eqs
Car evolution
Stunning looking car, really is.
Wow, extremely competitive. Love the interior.
I would like a price on this EQE?
Really miss the hatchback opening from the EQS.
What is the ground clearance of this car
Good but not great. As with the EQS, I find I’m convincing myself to like it rather than just straight up liking it. No doubt it’s well engineered, but a missed opportunity on the design front.
yeah, I am a big Mercedes fan I think they have the no.1 interior designs, but they really failed hard with the exterior. Plus with the new Audi e-tron saloon coming next year that looks AMAZING...
This car is perfection , our host however , is not somebody who should be giving an opinion on modern technology and aesthetics
Can you explain what you mean with CABFOREWARD DESIGN???maybe i already know it but just to be sure n for us plebs on the continent.👍👍👍Nice to see you drop a lot of VIDS.these days.LOVE IT👌👌👍👍👍☝
The cab forward design allows the passenger volume to be larger than in other similar sized automobiles. Cab forward was used by Chrysler Corporation starting in 1992 to describe styling and engineering features that were similar to those seen on the AMC Pacer and the Lamborghini Portofino, which improved cornering and interior space. The passenger cabin was "pushed forward" so that the front wheel well directly abutted the leading edge of the front doors, and the windshield extended forward over the engine, while the rear wheels were shifted towards the back corners of the vehicle. Moving the wheels to the edges allowed designers to enlarge the interior while improving ride and cornering.
Noticed they have omitted the light bar on the front.....strange !
Unique means one-of-a-kind. Something can not be more unique or very unique.
We’re is video with maybach eqs???
My issue with the EQS (have not seen the EQE - it is not available in China where I live) is it look like a cab forward design and I immediately think Honda. I am in the market for a new electric car (I drive a Model S) and I feel the NIO ET7 (Luxury and fast 3.8 sec to 100 and 700 to 1000 km range and a tech tour de force) or the Porsche Taycan Sporty are the best replacements. Sure the merc badge is great but the styling feels like a Japanese car. Interior on the EQS is impressive.
Prefer it to the EQS, but again still not keen on the side that reminds me of a cut avacado.. Quite an impressive range if it achieves on the WLTP..
I love the shape! Also front and rear very pretty!
It’s probably the front end doing the job, but I think this looks better than the EQS and if it has all the same or at least similar tech, for a lower price, why not?
Price?
I drive an S63 AMG Coupe and am a little biased when it comes to Merc ICE vs Merc EQ (which is a great first effort btw)…BUT… this is NOT the question! The real question is Merc EQ vs Tesla? Why? Because Tesla today are valued more than the top 6 car makers combined, where some analysts predict in 5 years Tesla will the most valuable company on the planet worth more than Apple. This means markets already believe Tesla will outsell Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, BMW, VW, Toyota etc. If true this means the majority of you are going to buy a Tesla. So…will your first EV be a Merc (or any other European EV for that matter) or a Tesla? My vote…I will be getting one of the Europeans as for me Tesla design, quality, personalisation and drive is far from a finished product.
Same maybe tesla in like 10 years lol
Actually as of Oct 30th 2021, Tesla is now worth more than all the car companies in the world put together, not just the top 6. With a P/E ratio of 360, investors have decided that everyone else is going to go out of business. Which is absurd of course. Tesla has 0.1% in Japan, one of the top 10 markets, and will probably never be above 2% in Japan. And they won't do that well in Korea either. And in China, the domestic manufacturers will beat them soundly. So people are being way over-optimistic. Foreign countries always punish American winners; they don't like Americans for the most part, and will introduce what you call "non-tariff barriers" to prevent Tesla from gaining too much share.
@@edwarddejong8025 even so, Tesla will make their profit and push the industry forward which will benifit everyone :)
Great presentation. I agree, the exterior is just not my style, the A6 E-tron looks very promising if the interior is anything close to MB. Not sure about this hyper screen. Seems to me it will be distractive on the road while driving.
What about an EQGT?
when is the EQC coming out
To my knowledge 2024-ish
Nice review, Amy
I hope BEVs will start looking like normal or retro cars in the future again 😉
I'd love to as well, but to be honest I doubt it. It's a shame they made the bonnet short and leaning down, like in a cheap city car 10 years ago. Forcing new looks just for the sake of new is what most of companies in most sectors (not only automotive) do, because this makes everything older look obsolete. If then they went back to "older" desings, people wouldn't want to buy it, because it would look "old" and they want the "new" thing
To be fair, EVs are a radical new direction for traditional automakers. Looks like MB did a good job on the interior, but the exterior...? Pretty sure they'll have it sorted out by the time of the refresh or next generation.
@Bobby Situkangpoles 💯💯💯💯
This thing is very good looking
WOW!!
Without the big MB star, it kinda looks like a Honda Civic front end? Or is that just me?
The rest of it looks pretty sweet though.
The EQ interiors have been baller, but the exterior looks like a bloated egg 🥚
Seriously, its way out of character, like completely out of MB and into Volkswagen territory. Especially with the side profile... I did like the concept tho. Concept was Chad, this is Virgin.
you forget whos mercedes target group is and always was: well-heeled pensioners ,-)
@@ErLeuchten you mean the Chinese market.
It’s intentional to make it like the F105 concept from a few years ago
Literally could be ANY car if the star was removed. Just like every single modern car....just carbon copy, soulless bubbles. Such a shame legacy manufactures like them will never have the iconic presence they used to have...when a 6 yr old could name one from 15 ft away.
In the name of "safety", those days are gone forever.
Everyone crying about the front doesn't realise its done that way for aerodynamics, also it has to be black to hide the radar sensors, same with the electric bmws
I’m waiting for the GLE electric version. I have high hopes. Hope Mercedes don’t disappoint me ;)
Well if they fcked up the s class and the e class thiss badly. even the g wagon got fcked up when they made it electric.
im fearing they will butcher the gle asWell
This is GLE electric version. That's it, no more.
Since when have you covered Toyota Camry??
Mercedes is such of amazing brand and suddenly they decide we going to make such of ugly and boring car. Truly pathetic.
I think the idea behind the weird proportions and egg shape is to make it like this concept car th-cam.com/video/MaGb3570K1U/w-d-xo.html.
It has almost the same side profile and the interior trying to be as interactive and digital like the concept. Unfortunately their vision is way off reality. Same for the eqs concept car which looked stunning in my opinion. It didn’t translate well into production though.
@@Emilioh888 th-cam.com/video/GSxGc9-tTLA/w-d-xo.html
Iz shouldve look like this!!!!!!!!
Much less ugly and boring than a Tesla.
It has the proportions it does to get more interior space out of less exterior space. You just don't need the huge long engine bay if you're not sticking an inline 6 or V12 in there, etc. The car's shorter than an E, with more cabin space (except for rear headroom, which there's unfortunately less of).
The entire point of most Mercedes cars, particularly the E and S, is to be nice on the inside anyway. Hell, look at the W210, that was UGLY. Nothing like the W124 before it or W211 after it (which took the same concept, but made it look better). But even the W210 was a very nice car to drive and be inside of. The entire point of a Mercedes. It's a car for the person who doesn't need to chase clout by flashing off their car and instead wants to enjoy the comfort.
They do have models for people who care about the outwards expression more. You have the G and the GLS if you want something that looks big, mean and expensive. There's the AMG GT which looks fast, etc. There will undoubtedly also be similar cars in the EQ range, because they do want to keep those target audiences as well.
To be completely honest, i feel like the over-all shape and design fits the sizing of the EQE much better than the EQS…. I’ve already been to a training program on the EQS and was a little off put by the shape and size. Just seemed a little awkward in person, where this E looks much more proportional.
Interior is great. I wish the exterior was s bit more exciting.
Amazing car 🚗
It looks like a 70-year-old designed it - as a future car from the 1980s. The design language says Mercedes is trying something “radical”. But, the reality is EVs been around for more than 13 years. Just because Mercedes is late to the game - don’t try to ‘look’ radical. There is nothing, not a single thing, radical about an EV anymore, rather an EV is the practical choice these days. The designers should understand the EV is not future but present. I actually think they know it already - except an old guy. On the other hand, the interior looks great - looks practical and pleasing.
Looks great. Sub 300 HP is a deal breaker though.
Just wondering hows the service for this car? Like a ICB car you'd change oil. But what about EV??
Pulled up a service schedule for a random EV I could find (Kona EV in this instance, but it doesn't matter). The only items that the service schedule says need to be replaced are cabin air filters, coolant and brake fluid. The last two aren't particularly frequent items either.
The rest of it is just "inspect CV joint boots", "inspect brake lines and hoses", "inspect steering gear rack, linkage and boots". You get the gist. Overall service costs are pretty cheap compared to ICEs.
Brilliant car
Waiting for the EQG
I with that all of the fun technology was standard, because it is going to be very expensive with all of the options ticked.
Can't wait until they make the Cabriolet convertible model
For a car that weights over 2400 kgs...that is closer to a mini school bus weight rather than a car...I'd rather to make a pass.
Of course, this is much better than any of the Tesla offerings (except raw performance figures).
I don't get all of this negative comments about exterior. It's the most aerodynamic car in the marker, something that an EV car should strive to achieve. Yes, it's different from what we used, but it's still pleasant and a good-looking car. Not sexy as some aggressive coupe similar to Audi, but the goal of everyone should be aerodynamics and only the egg shape cars can achieve superior results
yes, that's the bottom line. If I can drive 500 miles with a single charge then I really don't care if the car looks like an egg from outside. When sitting inside driving it, I wouldn't see the exterior anyway. And the EQS/EQE is a pretty cozy car inside.
@@matemayer4850 not to mention the fact that the Mercedes just made an entrance in the ev world with an interior and exterior completely radical. Bold move and i support them in this choice. There is no car with such a futuristic interior, maybe not the most practical one, and there is no car more aerodynamic. Pretty nice results in my opinion
@@Coconut3A I agree. I think it is a good start for MB to enter the EV world.
This is the perfect car.
Lots of people knocking the EQE and EQS but I wouldn’t choose a Tesla over either.
🤩🤩
If the design gives 50km more range, I'll like it rather than keeping old stuff alive. It's called progress.
Why does it look like a Civic type-R from the front?
Speaking of honesty why not point out the sad lack of option 302 rear frontal airbags, a revolutionary Mercedes invention potentially saving thousands of lives!!!!!
this is mad. I wanna buy one for my mum.
As mutch as I love it in the inside I hate it on the outside. But the 3 different driving Sounds make me happy.🤩
The bottom line is it appears to be more desirable than the Tesla equivalent.
Should have a hatch rather than a boot rear door like the eqs
Are safety aspects really so out of reach for so many people?
nice car
Looks like the ninth gen civic si from the front.
Mercedes EQE AMG Version 680 PS 👍🇩🇪
It looks like a Honda Civic!
I’ll be honest it’s still not the best looking car but it’s huge improvement compared to the eye sore that’s the EQS
This looks way better than the EQS
The exterior reminds me of LEAF design
