Mercedes EQS SUV vs EQE SUV: Best of the Benz

If you're in the market for an electric SUV from Mercedes, you are not short of choice. And if you want a very posh electric SUV from Mercedes, it comes down to opting for either the flagship EQS SUV, or the also very fancy EQE SUV. So what are the differences between these two models, and is it worth spending extra to get the EQS?
In which CarGurus UK head-to-head test, Vicky Parrott answers precisely that question, by bringing EQS SUV and EQE SUV together and examining the differences between the two models.

This was an excellent review! I really enjoyed it, you're a great reviewer!

[@newbeginnings8566]

Buyers can't get enough of them? Overpriced, oversized electric vehicles..... I don't think people will be rushing to buy them..

[@boethiusm8438]

Why do think they’re over priced

[@rkalla]

50% year 1 depreciation suggests you are right

[@newbeginnings8566]

@@boethiusm8438 overpriced based on their value to the end user and what they can offer... Sales figures which are low and falling suggests I am correct and the majority of people also think likewise...

[@spymelon32]

Overpriced oversized electric car? Sounds a lot like tesla model x

[@briansvendsen7575]

It's for the wealthy .. perhaps not you :)

[@oliverstemp9132]

Great video. I find the EQE SUV very tempting as a luxury car, it’s so well thought out if you don’t go for the Hyperscreen. What’s especially good is the floors are not too high like they are in many EVs.

[@allendavid4139]

Should be some great deals to be had considering the number of used models languishing on dealer forecourt’s and 0% finance on new ones they can’t shift

[@Fluterra]

Great review. I went with the EQS over the EQE and don’t regret it. I agree with the reviewer’s comments.

[@nicholasrigg8999]

Totally agree that efficiency should be the focus but you're unlikely to achieve it with bluff, heavy SUVs

[@dajavo]

Great review! Thank you!

[@ObiePaddles]

Great review. Thanks. I’ll never pay that much for a car and love my Model Y. Still enjoy seeing your reviews.

[@Fluterra]

Here in Canada a brand new EQS was the same cost as a Model Y after discounts. 😂

[@sakthishrajendran4264]

If You can afford a EQE then just go for EQS. Dealers are selling EQS at least 30k below MSRP. So the price difference between both is very less

[@linasmarcinkevicius]

IN MERCEDES-BENZ 💜 WE TRUST 🇺🇸🪽

[@normanli7085]

Cant tell the difference until u tell me which is which. Their gas versions are bigger and more desirable while costing less.

[@DAVEMUGF]

Who would have thought a big heavy SUV is not very fuel efficient?

[@srbs73]

Didn’t the EQS come out today as one of the fastest depreciating cars. Loses nearly 50% in the first year!

[@soumiksarkar4161]

Always lease them. My wife got an eqe yesterday and it drives like a dream. Literally feels like it is floating on air. We test drove the eqs too but driving wise there was no difference. Most of the difference were in the rear seats

[@cjj963]

@@soumiksarkar4161what is the difference in the rear seats? We are trying to decide between the two.

[@mgmarrison]

I’m generally not against electric - but how can anybody defend the production of a car weighing 3.1 tonnes as being a genuine alternative for a sustainable future. It’s nuts! I half expected the shear weight to cause potholes to form in the driving shots…

[@odessygaming4967]

cause of battery but nothing wrong with a little heavy 😂

[@stevietrucker4631]

Don't think I'll bother.

[@videowsatcher]

EQS is not really the s class of electric SUVs, not as luxurious looking nor as commodious; the GLS has much more space and looks more luxurious. God help you when you have to replace that screen.

[@odessygaming4967]

gls has a way smaller screen tho

[@jonathantaylor1998]

As much as I normally love your EV reviews, Vicky, I can't help but think 'someone' (*cough* Mercedes) must've paid you a substantial 'bonus' in order for you to bother reviewing these 2 totally, in your words, unnecessary cars...! Even as much of an EVangelist as I am, the anti-EV trolls out there must be rubbing their 'keyboards' in glee ready to punish your channel for reviewing near-3 tonne, north-of-£100k electric SUVs.... and, in all honesty, I wouldn't blame them if they did. Such weight and such excess goes against everything most regular EV owners would hold dear - namely efficiency and cost-effective personal transport. I just wish you'd stuck to your no-nonsense, credible reviewing style and basically told viewers to "boycott these show-off monstrosities"...

[@odessygaming4967]

these cars are nice bro, and it gets like 80mpge

[@Phillandben]

Why did you show a picture of a BMW x2 when talking about a BMW iX? You must know people who watch your channel are car enthusiasts, why treat them as idiots with your poor editing and attention to detail?

[@odessygaming4967]

i think it was an IX2 so she was almost there

[@Leonfr_2022]

That's a disgusting price for both, and the weight of that EQS! No wonder the roads are getting worse, the weight of these things! Not that impressed by them, having sat in them

[@JeremyGeduldt-m2h]

[@wildgreencozmo]

Mercedes has gone bonkers on design! Why pay more on one when I can’t tell the difference between them 🤨

[@markymarkreviews]

Good review. Have absolutely no interest whatsoever in such a car. 3+ tonnes!. A disgrace really. Better efficiency cannot come soon enough to Mercedes. Lovely cabin though. Still overpriced and will be sure to go wrong and be expensive to put right after about 3 years!

[@odessygaming4967]

it gets 80mpge so its pretty efficient, i mean since its an egg shape it gets good aerodynamics

[@TheHutchRuns]

Great review but they are very bland looking

I hate SUV's. No matter what brand ever....

[@dontasearcy8584]

They look like balloons! Overpriced Mercedes fell off awhile ago.

[@KH-ph4qi]

Hideous blobs, no design fair whatsoever. Those dashboards as well, so they put cheap as chips screens all across the dashboard and market this as the premium option - do people really fall for this rubbish? It looks so cheap and nasty. Give it a couple of years and they will be completely outdated and make the car only fit to be scrapped
