- The new Mercedes EQE SUV is the big brother of the EQE saloon, and shares much of the sleek styling, premium infotainment and futuristic tech that is common across the Mercedes family. Alex Legouix heads to Portugal to find out where this model fits within Mercedes' electric range.

Car prices along with their depreciation are just silly these days. You can buy two used GLEs from 2020 for £100K.
You could by a new Fiesta for £9k 10 years ago. It now starts from just over £19k. It's all part of getting people to buy things on a subscription model.
They are doing it on purpose, way more profit for them.
@@johnblaze8774 No, it is not. Inflation and more features in new cars means a bigger price. A new Fiesta now is also lot better than a new Fiesta 10 years ago.
@@MrUnknown2105 people are doing this not car manufacturers. People are voting with their wallets and going for more expensive features so manufacturers don’t make money if they try to sell cars without expensive features. The end result is expensive cars.
@@user-sj5ju4jb7t no it's the manufacturers , during COVID there was chip shortage and the US Vs China issue made it worse and everything was bottle necked due to one company who were told not to sell to China etc so technically it's the operational issue and US is to blame lol
The way these are all increasing vs the way they depreciating in value is insane.
How do you mean increasing? Increasing what?
@@Zeeno increasing in price. My mistake
Literally as soon as you mention the price I switch off something needs to be done as £90,000 starting price is ridiculous .
You aren't the target customer.
@@MyMednas i am and it's still ridiculous
looks alright but definitely not worth the price tag
My Salary is definitely not keeping up with New car prices!! 😂
imagine not being able to use the smartphone while driving because it is dangerous, and then the car has 4 massive screens where you actively have to distract yourself just to turn on the heating. I don't like this trend, it looks cool, but it's just stupid
When will Autotrader be reviewing the Nio ET7? It has already won a bunch of awards in Germany. Get Rory to review it, he has already expressed skepticism regarding battery swapping, so it'd be interesting to see if it changes his mind. Also apparently damage to batteries has been leading to insurance companies completely writing off cars, battery swapping avoids that issue.
Alex. Thank You. Love your reviews! You said it... 100 grand plus! Obscene! Said it before, ( so called) " prestige" brands like Mercedes Benz and Audi, only for the very wealthy or business use.
Time for a " average" EV.
Thank you again Alex.
Great review but at more than £100k it cost more than my house 😂 still it looks fantastic and the first suv I have thought that of
I’m still surprised at how similar the whole EQ SUV lineup is
£100k. No wonder GPs need a payrise.
Mercedes has truly outdone themselves with this model. We're impressed!
When did over $65,000.00 USD and Higher become the NEW NORMAL Price for a family car?
I just really, really don't like the modern Mercedes interior design with its car wide fingerprint and dust magnet. Audi had vast areas of gloss as well, but they thankfully came to their senses. Let's hope Mercedes does too, but the main driver for abandoning buttons is cost so I don't see this happen any time soon, and it's partially a matter of taste.
2wifi engineers got married 😅
I can't get enough of Alex videos. Keep them coming, please!!!
Her best so far I feel
@LaMelo Ball if this were put to vote, you'd be in the extreme minority. Still, I like her too
Great review Alex - thank you.
I’ll stick with my Audi A6 Black edition thanks. Got all tech plus looks the business on the road 👌
I've been driving an EQE SUV loaner while my EQS SUV gets repaired. Neither one is good with bumpy roads / pot holes. You WILL feel the bumps. The suspension is stiff even in comfort mode! The EQS's massaging seats features a weak massage. So if you're looking for a plush ride and with a good deep quality massage, look elsewhere. Oh, and I was firmly told by Mercedes Benz staff that if I switch the original air suspension to a more plush after-market one, it will void the 4 year warranty.
nice; but i prefer the looks of the saloon, thank you very much 😉😉
I bought one - delivery august. can't wait
Need to bring the price down to $60K.
it looks nice but does it have the similar carbon core chassis as the BMW IX?
Can anyone tell me where it's being filmed? I like the road on the cliff.
Looking forward to drive the Cadillac Lyriq!! :P
Our EQE SUV 350 4MATIC Luxury Line... it's really the best Mercedes we ever bought.
Not a criticism but as an American it is endlessly amusing to see what cars are labeled as “big” outside of the US.
Same with food portions and soda. Dunno how this trend started though..
As an European I would love to have those huge US cars available here.
I don’t know who decided we can only have tiny cars.
@@user-ft2md2gd4s Demand decided. You wouldn't be able to fit those cars anywhere.
If we make it to the Cyberdystopian future, I want this narrators voice for all my AI ❤
How about body rolling ?
At that price i would want more than STEREO !!!
In the states, the hyperscreen is NOT available in the EQE!
My beautiful Portugal 🙂
Why oh why is Mercedes assigning the exact same names to SUVs and sedans/saloons🙄? EQS is both a sedan/saloon and an SUV; EQE is both a sedan/saloon and an SUV. Makes me very less likely to buy one, for sure. If the EQG is available, I'm getting that one instead, especially seeing how the tank turn on that uberwagen is quite impressive.
EQC is by far the best looking electric merc, too bad it aint available in the U.S😭😭
$8,000 for the optional "dash screen". I'm just thinking down the line, many years later after the initial leasers, then the 2nd owners and down to the 3rd owners when it's 7-10 years old, the cost to own, maintain and repair these things are going to be crazy.
She clearly said it's a 1k option, not 8k. Also, they are screens 🙄. Unlike buttons, screens don't have any moving parts and therefore are a lot less likely to fail than buttons. Also, people who will buy this car, certainly don't care about maintenance fees.
@NickZ At 2m 50s she clearly said its a $8000 option on the lower spec cars. That gives you close to the unit price of that screen. Also, I clearly said the 3rd owners down-the-line, who will care about maintenance fees. The likely 1st owners will be leasing, under warranty, so of course they're not going to care.
Thanks for keeping price in mind, a few 'bling' factors shouldn't distract from the daylight robbery that is this car. Looks much nicer than the EQC though.
Why is Mercedes making the electric versions so much smaller? The EQS seems to have similar space to that of an E class.
This car looks like it’s GLC sized, not GLE.
It is between the two
EQS is bigger than an EQE and even EQE is close to S-class size inside.
Sort out your seating position. If that airbag has to deploy......😮
Youre blind
Quality content
Im still not convinced of The design of Mercedes in general. Looks a bit cheap, a bit Chinese knockoff.
And then those insane prices 😂😂
At least they have started to move away from the design that made every model look like a hearse 😋
Chinese cars look better, look up new changan and geely cars...
The proportion is much better than the saloon version
I always drive a Merc but never would I touch an EV nothing beats Diesel,
Alexandra 👍👍👍🔥
EQE🤙
£100k? No thanks.
I actually like the EQE saloon styling. However, I'm getting bored of all these overpriced heavy electric SUVs. We need affordable, usable and likeable EVs.
The tech is what makes the price so so high, but no one has asked for it. The mercedes interior is fancy and gives a luxiourous experience but I prefer the BMW interior quality. For the price of this car, you can buy 2 2020 models, insane.
I drove one of the latest MBUX systems with capacitive controls last month (2023 GLA 200). It was the worst interface experience I've ever had. It borders on dangerous because items that should be intuitive or easy are the opposite and require considerable focus to complete. Let's say you want to select a new playlist for a USB-attached device. If you scroll down on the horrid touchpad (what was wrong with the wheel?), then need to focus on the road for more than a few seconds, the entire menu will reset back to the currently-playing track and force you to start the playlist scroll all over from the alphabetical top. In, say, a BMW, it will remain on the playlist selection screen scrolled to where you left off seemingly indefinitely.
Love from england
Alex❤❤❤❤
Thumbs up only for Alex! 😄
Where's Rory?
Do you Brits find it easier to operate screens on left-hand-drive cars?
Never noticed and difference. Always changed gear with my left hand. It's just what your used to I guess.
I think the new audi a6 e tron is more gorgeous than all mercedes electric cars (interior and exterior)
A hundred grand?!
No thanks. Not a chance.
Assuming this is a replacement for the outgoing GLE, over 100k seems very steep for a common family SUV
I really love the car actually am a mercedes-benz fan boy
Great review video,
Benz always pushing boundaries without sacrificing the driver 👌🏾
Not only will these depreciate like crazy just for being a Mercedes, but also because it’s now more technology than just a car. Just like an old iPhone, nobody wants old tech when the new model comes out
This car for that price is outrageous. These manufacturers should really start focusing on something.ore affordable. In case they don't they're dead to me and might as well go bankrupt.
Mercedes aren’t in the market for for affordable, value cars, never have been. Shock 🤣
The price is terrifying😢
It's ridiculously expensive. It costs way too much for what it is. It's for rich men to buy for their kept wives.
"…from the fossil fuel ICE-age" - nicely put!
90k eh no
Wait a minute. We can accidentally turn the car on or off, or accidentally engage the auto cruise which will lunge it forwards? Errr…..
Is it correct as is being reported on social media that these EVs are spontaneously combusting causing the loss of at least two cargo ships so far, the last one I believe is still on fire off the coast of the Netherlands. Also that some ferry companies are now banning all EVs because of the possible fire risk,
BYD is here
I won't be excited for an electric vehicle untill I can charge it with the sun. There isn't a power grid on earth that can handle every one driving them.
Power grid’s are changing to meet the change to electric.
Don’t measure the infrastructure today with the future demand !
Also, this time of year, most of my EV range comes from my home solar ⚡️☀️👍🏻
You already can. I have PV panels on my roof.
Most western countries have power grids that can handle that.
Just hearing the 'Is it worth it' is already a red flag to me. And knowing Mercedes, that interior will start rattling in a few years
that what happen when everyone jumps in the electric bandwagon without a breakthrough and efficiency technology to make works. it just stay a trend at best atm in lieu of the evolution cars need to be. everything ev these days is just too compromising to run against even a hybrid vehicles particularly in emerging markets and the lack of non premium chep small and medium Ev cars to compare the points.
Where this video is filmed? Germany?
It’s funny how these German automakers keep pricing themselves out of the market. 😢
Another car that will forgotten before it is even out, the reviewer makes up for it.
Want the tech without the bling? Tesla Model Y at half this cost? That's nuts and it has a better supercharger network and also a bigger boot and better tech than this.
This is going to compete with the next Porsche Macan electric and Audi Q8 etron.
But then again, an iX from BMW is similar cost if a little cheaper, still ugly.
An Audi Q4 or a BMW iX3 has similar boot space and despite smaller batteries, has similar range to the EQE SUV.
This will be a success to Mercedes and they are taking advantage of the market right now.
It's not a game changer but Mercedes is after the money that these big electric SUV's bring in. Good luck to them.
The people buying this will more than likely be buying it because of brand loyalty rather than choosing the car because it is a good option in the segment it’s competing.
@@MrSandChessYup, Merc is not aiming at the same market, but Tesla fans always think everyone wants a Tesla
I did buy the EQE SUV 500. Tesla Y is a nice toy car (I've driven multiple thousand km's with it) but its nothing close to Mercedes quality. I've also driven S, 3, X and actually owned a S Plaid but sold it. I just feel like this comment section is full of people who simply cannot afford cars like this. I do admit that new electric car price tags are going off the roof but what can you do. It's not like I'm going to sell my Mercedes to drive a KIA.
@@jolob It’s not about being able to afford it, it’s just that this car speaks more about brand preference and brand loyalty than other cars. Ignoring the Tesla which has questionable build quality and doesn’t drive very well; what drew you to the EQE 500? Cause the Audi Q8 e-tron has solid build quality and permissible ride quality. It may not have some of the Mercedes gimmicks but the luxury is there.
@@jolob Good for you to buy this car. It is your choice after all. It was also your choice to buy the Tesla. I'm just making a point here. Some of the journalists that review these cars cannot own them either but they are giving you an honest and fair review of them.
I was just saying that Mercedes will be competing in a new market for electric SUV'S along with the BMW iX.
520L boot space? Really? BMW IX 500l boot space? That's just really dissappointing. Meanwhile a smaller BMW IX3 based on an ICE car already has 500l, and Tesla model y close to 700l. What's up with these expensive E-SUV's with tiny boots? Not diggin it!
I don't think Mercedes will keep up with this prices! All brands are lowering prices in China because of the competition, and shortly the competition will be worldwide
Would rather have the Kia EV6 GT
The AMG EQE SUV is probably the only EQ model I would even consider getting.
Competition is fierce in the EV space? Why? What buyers are all these manufacturers fighting over? At this price point, these kind of buyers can afford one of each. 🙄
EV’s like this are ‘cheap’ to lease through business schemes.
I’ve got a £95k BMW iX for £900 per month which includes everything except charging. Can easily afford this, but not the £95k.
Our 1,500 space work car park contains mostly EV’s in the £50k-£100k price range. It’s costs more to get a petrol / diesel car on a company scheme, due to the much higher tax on ICE cars, so everyone goes for an EV.
When did Mercedes become a joker? Oh, I forgot AI has gradually turned into a comedian lately. Thank you, ma'am.
Sorry Mercedes, I'm out £90k plus!! I will happily wait for the Chinese SUV's to arrive or just get a Kia EV9 (which is far bigger) at only £60k.. Plus you can bang on about luxury and quality but they are ALL blobby and boring looking.
We live in a rich future. Cars only for the rich and not for 95 % with this crazy high prices.
Mercedes are knocking EVs out left, right and centre. An amazing range, while the likes of Tesla basically only have 2 models. Well done Merc.
Miss Playboy 1990
Lovely EV SUV. Very expensive. Good thing I'll be buying a gas GLC43 instead, pretty much like almost everyone else.
big screen
It's EQ GLE ？
Yep kind of. Same size but it's a completely new/unique chassis.
I’ll buy the Kia EV9 and I’ll be a human being and happy and get most of necessities and comforts. Plus I will not have to go to repairs every 3 months an get a loaner from dealer.
The Kia EV9 will probably have the same ammount of tech in it anyways. I am waiting for it too!
Why the hell is this so expensive? No, I dont think it is worth it at all.
This is a finger print magnet you'll spend 80% of the time wiping the screens unless you love to see the oily finger prints and dust
Auto Trader really should call out the so called high end car manufacturers with their incredible and ridiculous option lists and their BS EV range figures. For £90K plus car, there should be no options available!
Fast, Big, Moneypit
Amazing but the price is complete bollocks. These mercs are not for your every day normal person.
Starts under 80k in US. Pricey but not absurd
With some equipment its the Tesla Model X money and not even close as a car...
@@lukabosnjak3829 Exactly, Model X is basically a battery on wheels, EQE SUV is a car one would actually want.
Buy a nearly new GLE, and money you save will be enough for a couple of years of fuel. Doesn't make sense to buy an electric.
Too heavy, inefficient over complicated tech and too expensive is this really the future of EVs. Long gone the rugged simplicity of 1970s and 80s mercs.
It's not "literally dripping in tech".
Not happy that we are seeing less and less of Rory. Learn from carwow matt was the reason for their success and he's the one that does it. Rory is the reason anyone even came on here and now he's slowly fading. No disrespect to these guys they are decent. But they not Rory
Hallo
Nice merc.
Never thought I’d ever say this but I would take Tesla model Y over it...
No wonder you're not growing your subs. Reviews are supposed to be detailed yet precise and thorough. You could do much better.
