Published: November 1st, 2022

Mercedes-Benz has announced pricing for its EQE EV mid-size sedan.

The base price is $74,900.

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan will come in various forms: EQE 350+, EQE 350 4MATIC, and EQE 500 4MATIC. Trim levels are Premium, Exclusive, and Pinnacle. The maximum range is quoted at 305 miles from a 90.6 kWh battery pack.

Premium-trim cars will have MBUX infotainment, a 12.8-inch infotainment screen, and a 12.3-inch gauge/driver-information screen. They'll also have a navigation system that has EV-specific features, such as factoring in available charging stations and driving style into route guidance. It can even show the maximum speed a driver can go if he or she wants to reach their destination without first running out of charge.

Mercedes is also offering the chance for drivers to charge via its own network of charging stations.

As befitting any luxury ride these days, the EQE has plenty of advanced-driving aid systems. Those systems will include blind-spot assist, active lane-keeping assist, LED headlamps with high-beam assist, a surround-view camera, and a parking-assist system.

Other available features will include a Burmeister sound system, OTA updates, ambient lighting, heated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof.

The EQE will arrive in Mercedes-Benz stores this fall.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Looks like a suppository with wheels, but the interior is gorgeous. Fortunately I could never afford it anyway :(

$75K for a car you wouldn't want to take a road trip in (for lack of infrastructure and long re-charge time.)

Mason Had this identical car as a 17 year old in the late 90's. What a ball of fun, one of many I wish I still had.
FinnEss At my age, sedans are difficult to get into without much neck and hip adjustment.I apologize sincerely but that is just the way it is. A truck is my ride of choice.Pronto
Ajla The market for sedans is weaker than it once was but I think some of you are way overstating the situation and I disagree that the sales numbers show sedans are some niche thing that full line manufacturers should ignore. There are still a sizeable amount of sales. This isn't sports car volume. So far this year the Camry and Civic are selling in the top 10, with the Corolla in 11 and the Accord, Sentra, and Model 3 in the top 20. And sedan volume is off it's nadir from a few years ago with many showing decent growth over the last two years, growth that is outpacing utilities. Cancelling all sedans now seems more of an error than back when Ford did it.
Duties The U.S . would have enough energy to satisfy our needs and export energy if JoeBama hadn’t singlehandedly shut down U.S. energy exploration and production. Furthermore, at current rates of consumption, the U.S. has over two centuries of crude oil, https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/energy/exclusive-current-rates-consumption-us-has-more-two-centuries-oil-report.Imagine we lived in a world where all cars were EV's. And then along comes a new invention: the Internal Combustion Engine.Think how well they would sell. A vehicle HALF the weight, HALF the price that would cause only a quarter of the damage to the road. A vehicle that could be refueled in 1/10th the time, with a range of 4 times the distance in all weather conditions. One that does not rely on the environmentally damaging use of non-renewable rare earth elements to power it, and uses far less steel and other materials. A vehicle that could carry and tow far heavier loads. And is less likely to explode in your garage in the middle of the night and burn down your house with you in it. And ran on an energy source that is readily extracted with hundreds of years known supply.Just think how excited people would be for such technology. It would sell like hot cakes, with no tax credits! Whaddaya think? I'd buy one.
3SpeedAutomatic I just road in a rental Malibu this past week. Interior was a bit plasticity, but, well built.Only issue was how “low” the seat was in relation to the ground. I had to crawl “down” into the seat. Also, windscreen was at 65 degree angle which invited multiple reflections. Just to hack off the EPA, how about a boxy design like Hyundai is doing with some of its SUVs. 🚙 Raise the seat one or two inches and raise the roof line accordingly. Would be a hit with the Uber and Lyft crowd as well as some taxi service.🚗 🚗🚗
