The all-new EQE comes in four models, each designed to cater to different needs: EQE 350 4MATIC Pioneer Edition, EQE 350 4MATIC Luxury Edition, EQE 500 4MATIC Special Edition, and EQE 500 4MATIC Pure Electric SUV. The prices range from 486,000 RMB to 630,600 RMB, so there’s something for everyone.

The front headlights and grille are integrated, and the “meteor shower” intelligent digital headlights offer up to 2.6 million lighting pixels, which is quite impressive. The low-drag wheel design and door-mounted rearview mirrors also contribute to the vehicle’s aerodynamics, making it even more efficient.
But what’s insidethe EQE is what really sets it apart from the competition. The MBUX hyperscreen, with a width of 1.41 meters, offers a new interactive world for the driver and passengers. And with the 64-color active ambient lighting, the interior of the EQE is both comfortable and luxurious, providing an overall premium feel.
The “meteor shower” intelligent digital headlights with 2.6 million pixels are another impressive feature that provides not only excellent lighting but also intelligent driving assistance functions that enhance driving safety and convenience.

To meet the demands of the Chinese market, the EQE is equipped with ten exclusive features, including a gentleman function and comfortable rear headrests, demonstrating Mercedes-Benz’s dedication to Chinese consumers. The 3030mm long wheelbase, standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive system, and 10-degree rear-wheel steering provide excellent handling and stability. And the outstanding NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) performance and HEPA high-efficiency air filtration system elevate the driving experience to a new level, creating a peaceful and luxurious space inside the vehicle.
The EQE SUV offers four driving technologies, including D AUTO intelligent energy recovery, dual motor intelligent torque distribution, off-road mode with a top speed of upto 110 km/h, and steep slope descent with a minimum speed of 2 km/h. The vehicle also boasts a CLTC range of up to 613 kilometers, providing strong support for the popularization of electric vehicles. And with a wind resistance coefficient as low as 0.25cd, the EQE offers high-speed stability and energy efficiency, making it a reliable and convenient option for drivers.
But safety is always a top priority, and the EQE doesn’t skimp on that. It comes equipped with a proactive safety system and seat pulse side collision protection, providing drivers with comprehensive safety assurance. These advanced safety technologies not only improve the safety of drivers and passengers but also demonstrate Mercedes-Benz’s continuous innovation and leading position in vehicle safety.
The launch of the Mercedes-Benz EQE is a clear indication of the determination and strength of traditional car companies in the electric vehicle market. By introducing various cutting-edge technologies, the EQE has not only made significant breakthroughs in technology but also offers a more intelligent, luxurious, and safe driving experience.
