Previewing the 2023 Mercedes-EQ EQE

Mercedes-EQ has officially given our customers on Long Island, in New York, and in the United States a preview of the 2023 Mercedes-EQ EQE from Mercedes-Benz! 

This all-electric sedan is about the same size as our beloved E-Class sedans. This electric vehicle is a little bit shorter than its EQS companion, this change aids in creating elegant proportions through the exterior and interior; the wheel base is 4 inches shorter and the overall length of the vehicle is 10 inches shorter than the Mercedes-EQ EQS. 

This innovative EV is anticipated to have over 300 miles of range. The top speed in the Mercedes-EQ EQE is about 130 miles per hour.  There will be two trims released during its launch in 2023:

-The 2023 EQE 350+

-The 2023 EQE 500

The Mercedes-EQ EQE 350+ has rear-wheel drive, a single motor with 288 hp, 564 lb-ft of torque and can go 0-60 in about 5.6 seconds. The 2023 Mercedes-EQ EQE 500 is a dual-motor, all-wheel drive, 4MATIC® EV with 402 hp, 633 lb-ft of torque and can go 0-60 in roughly 4.5 seconds!

Both of these trims speak the same design language as the Mercedes-EQ EQS, although the front fascia is slightly different and more unique. The front grille on the Mercedes-EQ EQE still has the same beautiful closed off grille with the classic Mercedes-Benz stars and phenomenally helpful radar sensors.

The 2023 Mercedes-EQ EQE comes standard with:

• Panoramic Roof with Retractable Sunshade
• 20” wheels

The 2023 Mercedes-EQ EQE 500 has 4 different drive modes: Eco, Comfort, Sport and Individual. Mercedes-EQ makes it so easy to switch between these options as there are several new features that can be found within the interior’s center-console screen. Drivers and occupants can utilize the shortcut buttons available and found on the bottom of the dashboard’s touchscreen.

Our amazing customers can also implement the zero-layer function that is installed on the center-console display. This zero-layer function lets the driver pair the most frequently used sources to the vehicle without having to go deeper into the vehicle’s settings; you can select which device you would like to connect via Wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto on the bottom of the center-console screen as well! So efficient and innovative!
