After a comparison of the EQE & EQS?
Got you covered! ⬇⬇

New model…New cinematic intro 👀
What do you all think? 😜
Brilliant. The quality of your videos is top notch in every respect Nick.
Thank you Paul! 🙏🙏
Great video presentation Nick but being a Petrol head I’ll only buy an electric car when I have to.
Nick, does the EQE come with or has the option for the hyperscreen, like the EQS?
@Bowie yes I don’t know anyone who has Lucid Air yet…but yes when deliveries start taking place…that will be the best!
Been waiting for this, cheers Nick.
Thanks Mark! 🤓👍🏼
Nice video. Looking forward to seeing the EQE SUV!
Would love to see the comparison video, keep up the great work Nick. Have found your work invaluable.
Thank you Gary! 😇
A comparison video (EQS vs EQE) would be great! However, with the announcement of the EQS SUV (and the likely future EQE SUV), I'll be waiting to see how those newer cars compare. Also looking forward to your review of the Hyperscreen - I think we'll be going for that!
Yes please, a comparison video would be great
Excellent video as usual Nick, I'm just wondering if a light colour headlining would be better?
Hey Roger, thank you!
Sadly you can’t change the headlining on it’s own but there is an option in the UK for Nappa Leather - balao brown/neva grey which does make the headlining light 🤓
Found on the exclusive luxury model
If I remember
Hey Nick that introduction with the music and the editing was absolutely fantastic, I really enjoyed that it was great. And yes a comparison between the EQS and the EQA would be great, so please think about doing it for us. And I’m still waiting for the release of the EQA 350 here in Australia, Mercedes-Benz seems to forgotten that we even exist
Hey snuggles03! Thank you! 🙏🙏
I think most things these days are a staggered release. Even USA don’t have it yet…fingers crossed!
Amazing Video my friend. Incredible work.
Thank you! 🙏
S class interior not easy interior hyperscreen is the best thing I’ve seen in a car !! Hope this has augmented navigation in the HUD
Hi Nick, pls have a comparison of EQS and EQE would be great
Hi Nick, What has happened to the EQS VISION SHOW CAR? Has it been shelved?
What the EQXX? 🤓
Nice video nick! I would go for EQE!
Thank you! Me too! 👀
Same been waiting for this one thank you Nick. Well worth the wait . Any word when the hyperscrean is coming. ?
Hey Hamish, thank you!
Sadly Hyperscreen isn’t available in the EQE in the UK however….the same thing happened to the EQS at launch and was available months later to order, so fingers crossed 🤞🏼
I don’t have any insider info sadly but best thing to do would be to register your interest with your local Mercedes and they’ll be able to let you know.
Thanks
nick got me ready for my new Mercedes. valuable asset that should work for merc
Thanks Timothy! 🤓👍🏼
Great vid again Nick. When will we able to order ?
Thanks Gary! 🤓👍🏼
It’s out now, you can test drive & order today!
Thankyou 👍👍👍❤️
Nick iv’e just bought a CLA250e Shooting Brake Premium + night edition just waiting for the build date have you got a review on here for the 250e shooting brake ? By the way Love you’re videos that i have seen
Thanks Essex Andy! No sadly not :(
They’re extremely rare, I have done a video on the A250e which features the same tech.
If I get my hands on one I’d love to!
@@npoleary yes very rare I’m a little worried on how long I’ll have to wait until i get my hands on it
It’ll be worth the wait! I’d love one personally! All of my journeys locally would be electric and I wouldn’t have to pay so much at the pump!
Hello Nick! I've already ordered an EQE SUV 500 4Matic with the hyperscreen. Unfortunately, the napa grey option that I asked will delay. Instead of being produced in June, it'll be produced in September 2023. with delivery date around Christmas. Let's hope that there will be no more delays.
Nick how do I activate the rear wiper on my 2018 A-Class?
As long as you have the Hatchback A-Class (not the saloon version)
Should be a button on the indicator stalk, left button will wipe once, right button will put it onto a timer. Press the left one hard to spray 👍🏼
Please do the comparison you mentioned at the end between the EQS and the EQE. I'll be looking for my next MB next summer and, while I've been thinking of either the S580 or the EQS580, I could be persuaded (maybe!) to consider the EQE. I have nothing against the E-Class (I love my current E63S AMG), but wanted to try the S-Class next time out. Still, it's down to you to convince me one way or the other... :-)
I used to have E classes v8’s, my last was the E63. I changed that to the S class (s560 coupé) and what a difference in cars. The S class is their premiere car and the coupé ( when they made them ) was the flagship of the S class. Once you have an S Class, you look down on the E class ( even the most expensive) as it does not compare to an S class. I was thinking of changing for the EQS, personally although there is a S in the badging, I don’t think it’s a true S class. You can contact me for very obvious differences, plus the look of my coupé will be a classic, even if not the most practical car. Fred
Thanks Nick, this is the one that I’ve been waiting to see! Although a comparison video would be interesting, in my own case I think the EQS, lovely as it is, would be a step too far.
I think a trip to Holes Bay Rd is on the cards for a proper look.
Thanks John! Glad you enjoyed the video! 👍🏼🤓
Now you got me interested in one of these. EQ vehicles. I currently have the GLE 43, and the gas prices are a real concern, $130 dollars every 2 weeks.
Ah awesome! Yes I know I just filled up with fuel this morning! In the UK it’s averaging the equivalent of $7.52 a gallon when you do the conversion! 😳
Hey Nick, does it support Apple CarPlay?
Yes 🤓
This new multimedia has it as standard for the UK but check with Mercedes if you’re based elsewhere 🤓
Prefer EQS, better styling and more utility with a large hatch back style opening.
greate review. good to see a EQE without the Hyerscreen!
Thank you P PR! 🙏
such a beautiful car nick. is it on the road yet in the uk if not when is the release date? thanks
Oh it’s out now in the UK 🤓
Ready for test drives and ready for orders 👍🏼
@@npoleary wait actually?
Yeah the one I drove was Mercedes-Benz of Poole’s demo 😜
Not sure how long lead times are but yeah you can drive one!
@@npoleary ok
In time is there likely to be an estate version? I know its a balancing act with aero etc, but if you need a decent boot, one of these in estate guise would be a fantastic car! Comparison with EQE and EQS would be great
Hey Adrian, I haven’t heard anything from Mercedes yet but if anything new comes out I’ll be sure to cover it on here if I get my hands on it! 👍🏼🤓
does the EQE panoramic sunroof open please?
It sure does 🤓
Just for the front seats though
Cool Nick
Hi Nick, looks beautiful, stunning inside look. Thanks for another great vlog. Keep it up 👍 and God bless you.
Thank you Jag! 👊🏼
I seriously considered an EQC but just couldn’t bring myself to do it and bought a V8. I will consider electric again when the range is 500 kms.
When can we order one in the Sates?
Hey IndyGuy, really sorry not sure. If you get in touch with your local Mercedes, they might be able to let you know or add you to a mailing list of a launch date 🤓
I am taking delivery in the next two or three weeks of the new Genesis Electrified G80 arguably the closest competitor to the EQE.
However even fully optioned like my car, it's some £10,000 cheaper than a top spec equivalent Mercedes, yet still with the same sort of high tech equipment.
Oh cool! Sounds very nice!
I’ve seen Genesis before when in America on holiday 😎
We’ll it work inside the car nick Andrew even sent a story hopefully you see about the eqe lol
Thank you, Nick. Great video. Would love to see a comparison of the EQS and the EQE. Thanks again.
Thanks Theodore 🤓🙏
Video and car is great Nick, but Mercedes need to be honest giving customers information on cars ordered 9 months plus ago!. Been told 2023 for petrol engine cla which is not good enough. Electric is the future but customers have been part of the past and future!, so Mercedes need to start giving them respect!. Prioritising eq models is great, but don't forget about petrol orders already in the system!
Hey Tony, I know there are still ongoing semiconductor issues worldwide with every manufacturer and sadly I’d imagine they just don’t know when it will get better. Everyone’s fingers are crossed it doesn’t go on for too much longer.
I don’t think Mercedes are prioritising electric at all over petrol or diesel, they still need to release new models but there’s still a bit of wait on these models just like petrol or diesel. Sadly all cars, electric, petrol, diesel & hybrid all have longer wait times at the moment across all manufacturers.
that seems tasty. I am sure the rate of development will soon overcome majority of prejuduces. Price premium is a bit of a pain just now for the all electrics.
Hi Nick, if I sell my A200 AMG LINE private do I need to deactivate my Mercedes me account and what else if anything else I need to know?
You can do! It’ll make it easier for the next person who wants to add it to their account.
I’d reset the multimedia system too 👍🏼

RESET
It may change the units to km/h so to amend that:

If you get stuck message me back 👍🏼
@@npoleary Hi! Thank you Nick, how do I deactivate my Mercedes me account please?
Completely delete?
On the app, press MENU (top left), tap on your profile and then Delete Account at the bottom
@@npoleary thank you so much
It would be good to see under the bonnet on these car reviews even if it's only to show where the screen wash reservoir is!! But for me to just see the engine compartment and have some bits explained.
Hey David well actually there’s nothing really to see under there.
Believe it or not on EQE & EQS, Mercedes actually don’t permit people to look in there because there are no user serviceable parts inside.
I’ve been shown inside it and yeah there isn’t much to see!
@@npoleary Hi Nick. Thanks for your prompt reply. I can understand why “under the bonnet” images might be restricted. I can accept that nowadays what’s under the bonnet is not that important to buyers. My first car was a Wolsey 1500 and I spent a lot of time under the bonnet with spanner’s, feeler gauges, grease and oil. With my current car, a Mercedes B Class, under the bonnet activity involves cleaning and topping up the screen washer reservoir. Having said all that I think your TH-cam items are great.
Regards David
Now if it's just you, would only the driver side handle pop out or is it just all four doors?
All 4 from what I’ve seen 🤓
@@npoleary I think that is a bit worrisome from a security standpoint. I enjoy having my fob being pressed once to unlock my door and twice for all doors to unlock.
Oh for that, that’s a bit different 🤓
All handles pop out but…if you were using Driver’s door only unlock, that will still work the same way. It acts like KEYLESS GO, so if you put your hand behind the handle, it’ll unlock just the driver’s door if you have that enabled even though all handles pop out.
Hope that makes sense 👍🏼
What mpkwh did you get in your test drive? I have an EQA and average 3.5.
Hey Chris, really sorry I didn’t write that down.
I would imagine it would be more than the EQA though! Calculating it, you should be able to get up to around 4 mpkWh to achieve the range quoted 👍🏼
Thanks for the reply, it's taken me months to get used to driving it with - - regen to get the best out of it. Trying to explain to people you drive with one pedal most of the time, they don't believe it.
Haha yeah!
I’ll hopefully do a video on that soon! 😜
1 thing I wonder is dose the brake light come on when you lift off? The regen slows you down very fast
Yea it does on the increased ones 🤓
My guy. Look at a lucid air. Killer range and space
hyper screen makes the car,you have to spec that
Classic
Great video Nick but the car doesn’t look like a Mercedes. It could easily be mistaken for a Vauxhall. I think the problem is that Mercedes have put aerodynamics and range to squeeze every mile out of the battery over styling
Hey Bazooka Joe! Thank you!
Oh you don’t like it? I quite like the shape of the EQE & EQS!
Could never say no to more range though! 🤓
Hey nick Andrew really likes your car videos they look so cool with Eqe
That’s a fantastic car dosed nick like his bracelets
They go so well with your Apple Watch as it happens Andrew gone and bought one for myself
They so amazingy cool tec they so nice to use will it definitely work inside the car Andrew
Thanks Andrew! Ah awesome you bought an Apple Watch! 🤓 wooo! 🥳
Which one did you go for?
@@npoleary hey nick quick question why are the Mercedes’ Benz cars so stylish and my eyes light up like an 8 year old when I saw the eqe and gls they so amazingly cool how long has nick had a passion for cars have all ways like cars Andrew
I know they look awesome too! The designers must spend such a long time figuring out what the next best model is going to look like.
Ah I’ve always had a passion for cars, ever since I passed my driving test (years ago! 😅)
Great vid nick although at £76k in this age of no wage growth who on earth is going to buy these. Mercedes called me last week to say I could upgrade my 18 month old cla 250e as I was in equity, I asked how much the hybrid c class would be..... £690 month! That's £200+ more a month than I am now. I think the premium manufacturers are going to end up pricing themselves out of reach of the majority of existing owners.
Hey Scott, thank you!
Well I know some of Mercedes-Benz’s models released recently (EQE & EQS) are on the higher end but that’s because they are genuinely on the higher end of cars.
Mercedes do have over 34 models and this just adds to the choice, other models like A-Class, CLA, GLA, B-Class and several more are still in production and may even have facelifts and upgrades over the next few years!
It will be very exciting to see them! But yes you’re absolutely right sadly I can’t get an EQE at that price, I can dream though! 🤓
Comfortable seats are a must whilst your waiting for your car to charge.
Doesn’t take long on this one if you charge at 170kW!
It can do 10-80% in about 32 mins!
@@npoleary That's not bad actually considering the time it takes me to fill my 100 litre tank, especially the last 20 litres or so.
@You Tube don't take it too literally mate. It was an attempt at a light hearted joke.
Have you completed a real range road test?
Hey max - Timothy, it depends on where you’re driving 🤓
If you aim to keep the speed between 40mph & 60mph, this will certainly enable you to achieve range as advertised.
WLTP tests are all done to show you what the best is and most importantly can be achieved if you drive economically.
However using A/C or heating and driving at motorway speeds will of course mean less than advertised.
So a real world range test depends on the journey that you do 🤓
I am now 41 years old and drive a Passat Diesel vor more about 20 Years. Each year more the 20.000km
In the last few months I get more and more interest on E Mobilität. The Only reason why I dont drive a E Car is the Price. My favorite (between Mercedes) are Kia EV6 or Skoda Enyaq. But I cant and want buy a 50-60k Car. So my next will be also a Diesel, Mybe?!
Hello Nick, I think Mercedes engineers have forgotten to align the plug of the air compressor with the fact that there is no lighter anymore on the EQE. I tried to inflate something but never been able to plug the compressor in the car...😂
Usually in the passenger footwell (top right hidden out of view)
😛
@@npoleary ok, thank you. I gave a look but did not find it. Just found a place with fuses but no plug for compressor.
I’m sure I’ve seen one there before (top right hand corner), it’s very well hidden:
share.icloud.com/photos/069McWz2g5DTBkNa-t6Ukx0Mw
It says depending on the equipment. I ve looked behind that cover, there are the fuses and probably some plug for the airbags. But none for 12v. I will ask again to the garage. But so far they have not been able to help me.
For me the decision is EASY: I'll take the shorter EQE for my wonderful wife and the decent longer EQS for my own purposes, as I'm sitting always behind my driving servant
02:18 Actually the Lucid Air has the top range in the world at 520 miles EPA. Still the EQS has a fantastic range to the charge.
Hey Will, yes I’ve heard of Lucid Air, but hadn’t actually heard of anyone getting one yet.
Have they started shipping?
@@npoleary The first deliveries were in their home market - The US. Now they are expanding into Europe this second half of 2022.
Ah perfect! Have you seen one in person? There’s lots of these startup companies with EV’s and I’m always curious what they’re like
@@npoleary I'm here in the UK so no I haven't seen one in the metal yet. I take your point about these flash in the pan start-ups. We'll see how Lucid plays out. At the moment they seem to be on the right path, particularly after that huge investment by the Saudis.
"Should you go for an EQE or an EQS?"
There's a £30,000 price difference - an additional 40% ish price increase. Even if you can afford an EQE it's a HUGE price differential that, maybe, 99% of EQE buyers may not even consider. Is the question therefore relevant for the private buyer? For the person leasing via a company scheme it may be an interesting comparison though.
Good video though.
Hey Jaimin, yes there sure is!
However I’ve heard quite often that people come in looking at an EQA and EQC with often £23k price differences. As you said could be through a company scheme or something 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed the video!
no hyperscreen no party
I’m just so disappointed with Mercedes U.K. decision to only sell the low end and top end models for EV. The perfect EQE and EQS models are only sold outside the U.K. The ones with 4matic.
Why talk about fuel cost in the intro. The people who can afford electric cars aren’t concerned about gas prices. People who are worried about gas prices can’t afford electric cars. Electric cars right now are more of a status symbol rather than trying to get electric cars to the average person.
Exterior looks like old civic
I can imagine how silent this car is.
It was super silent! 🤫
Within two years motors changed, recuperation system replaced, car big battery changed. Mercedes service 100/100… mercedes EV technology 0/100 not yet mercedes… you are loosing people’s trust
No electric car is worth their ridiculous unfair high prices.
No there not enough electricity in our USA to power and charge electric cars.
California now does not have enough electricity supply charging the many numbers of electric cars and this horrible state now has blackout where they forbid charging.
Our world is also running out of materials to make the batteries that is needed so we are now damaging and devastating our earth.
When the time comes to sell or trade-in an electric cars the poor owners are going to get a huge surprise for the depreciation of their electric cars because the cost of replacing the batteries is super expensive, about $20,000.00.
Electric cars owners are going to get a very huge unpleasant and ugly shock.
Be smart and AVOID buying any worthless electric car.
Shame its so ugly on the outside
