- The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE electric car is finally here, and it's got a point to prove. You see, when most drivers think about EVs, driving range quickly comes to mind, because charging infrastructure arguably remains underdeveloped in the vast majority of countries, including Australia. But range anxiety is less of a factor when a vehicle can travel as far between charges as this new large luxury sedan.
That's right, the EQE has a maximum driving range that's long enough you'll probably not have a care in the world when driving in. But to find out just how far the new Tesla Model S rival can travel, you'll have to watch this video.
Speaking of which, in this expert review, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Stephen Ottley puts the EQE through its paces to find out if it offers more than just anxiety-free driving range. After all, it has premium pricing and needs to justify it in more than just one area.

Note ANCAP confirmed a maximum five-star safety rating for the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE following the filming of this video.
Where was this video taken? Scenery looks amazing!
Great review and great car - just drove it also the EQS
Perfect video.
Most negative comments in here must be from guys who haven’t driven the car or guys who can’t afford it.
The car is amazing and I’m still in love after 2 months driving it.
To me former square Mercedes models just look….altmodisch
Congratulations to you perfect German quote (If you are not German of course ;)
Its great to see that the classic car manufactures are finding their specific way also in the new EV world - like Mercedes, looking really good!
Honestly, the 53 model is priced fairly well, since it is almost 60k cheaper than the e63, yet it has similar performance
This car absolutely destroys the Tesla and it’s competitors. Absolutely LOVE IT !
I'm just wondering when it comes to servicing EVs what they do?? We all know internal combustion, but EVs? Got no clue!
They give it a wash and vacuum and then ask you to hand over $500? Seriously though, I can't think of anything that would need servicing in the first three years, besides new wiper blades and tyres (if needed). I think the brake fluid needs to be changed every two years, but what else? Don't software updates get delivered over the air nowadays?
Much reduced service - depends on the vendor. Normally it's annual for a check up and they change fluids, check the software, wearables. And its much cheaper then an ICE car. You check it by car, f.e. a BMW iX is scheduled for service for 30.000 km or 24 months, depends what comes first. For me it's really necessary to have a check up every 24 months. I am driving an EV too - you use it an appliance, you never go to a gas station anymore, so it's a good thing. Things wear out and it's not safe anymore after a while.
Who else think this looks like the 9th Gen Honda Civic hatch from the UK, circa 2015?
Totally.
"bespoke platform" Ha ha ha! It just a variant of the MRA architecture.
Just as well that it has a HUD because about 30% of the driver’s display is hidden by the steering wheel arc. Including the speedometer between 30 and 90 km/h. Yes it has a small digital speed readout in the centre, but why bother having a retro style analogue speedo if you can’t see it?
Mercedes is not alone in having a driver’s display that can’t fully be seen because of the wheel. Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 suffer from the same. It’s almost as if the designer has thought “let’s put a wide aspect landscape display in front of the driver” without thinking about the information the driver needs in front of them.
You can choose between several screen faces - some analog some very digital, you will find a suitable one for sure.
3.5secs for over $200k price compared to competition is ridiculous.
This EQE looks better than the EQS, which is one of the biggest disappointments in car design history compared to its concept, but this jelly mould, wind tunnel design philosophy from Mercedes in the electric era is terrible. The previous and current generation of C Class proves you can make a swoopy, aerodynamic design look good. This is such a fall from grace for Mercedes in design, something that has been a strong suit even as their durability and quality have come down. I think this jelly mould design is an excuse for Mercedes so that they don't have to engineer better range efficiency.
