Mercedes is here to bless your Sunday with two gorgeous new machines for the future, the 2023 EQE and 2024 AMG EQE SUV. And yes, that second name means that Merc is giving us an electrified performance machine.
Let’s start with the EQE SUV. This will be Mercedes’ fourth EQ model, and according to the company, it’s actually a bit more compact than the EQE sedan, with a wheelbase of 119.3 inches and 3.5 inches shorter than the sedan. However, it has a sporty look, so you can feel comfortable if you have to drive it on a slightly rough road.
One of the more interesting features Mercedes mentions is the fact that it can manage its battery software with constant updates to remotely improve the battery’s functionality after you’ve bought the car. No, that’s not exactly one Novel feature for electric vehicles, but Mercedes has refined its technology to keep it feeling modern as electric vehicle technology rapidly evolves.

Further, Merc highlights its “navigation with electric intelligence,” which basically just means that it can calculate the fastest route that also takes into account charging stops based on variables, like traffic or changes in your driving style.
We’ve saved the best for last with the 2024 AMG EQE SUV. This is the German automaker’s first-ever all-electric SUV from its performance line, and Mercedes is calling it its “most versatile electric vehicle” thanks to its balance of performance and space.
There will be two AMG-specific electric motors, and while a breakdown of each one isn’t available yet, Mercedes wants you to know that it’ll top out at 677 hp, and both will have AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, rear-axle steering, air suspension with adaptive dampening, and AMG’s Active Ride Control, which is an AMG-specific roll stabilization system. So far, it sounds like a damn good machine.
Mercedes also highlights something it’s calling the “AMG Sound Experience,” which seems like one of those vague phrases that means it’ll have its own suite of EV-style noises to complement a banging sound system.
All that said, we’re still waiting on more details from Mercedes. All photos in this article show off the European model, and we don’t have exact dates on release. We also have no word on pricing, but Merc’s other EQ offerings run from around $50,000 to north of $100,000.
