The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE 500 4Matic Is A Scaled Down Better Proportioned EQS

[@TheStewieGriffinShow]

I bought mine in November and everywhere I go, it's the most exquisite car on the road. Mine is loaded with the AMG package so I couldn't be happier experiencing massage heated bucket seats, rear wheel steering, HUD, soft close doors, heated steering wheel, voice recognition, aluminum alloy wheels, and more. I didn't think I would need the heated bucket seats and heated steering wheel living at the beach in southern California, but it turns out there are nights when it gets chilly in the winter so now I love those features. I'll upgrade in 10 years when they come out with solid state batteries. It will be interesting to see what's in store for the EQE in 10 years.

[@todwcampbell]

I actually really like the styling of the EQE. I also really appreciate the interior.

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

I think his comment of “I think their best looking EV is the EQB because it’s a box” pretty much sums up all my feelings about Benz EVs. Nothing more has to be said… I look for these in the used market for 50K in a few years

[@connermorgan9223]

They’ll probably drop a bit lower than that too. This is one ugly (on the outside) car and the range is disappointing for a 90kwh battery. There’s a lot of better options for the money out there.

@JayTheSpeaker all EVs suffer in cold weather and the real world range of Teslas is pretty much par for EVs in regards to their rated range. Either way, the Supercharger network is still quite a bit ahead of public charger networks.

Well I would if I didn't have to walk past it, open my driver door with my hands full and pull a latch under my steering wheel then close or walk back around my drivers door and then have to snake my hand under the hood to unlatch it and lift it up 💀 the new EVs that do offer a frunk make it so tedious to access then get lippy about people not using it.

Eww . These EQs looks like the cab forward Chrysler cars of the 90s. The raked windshield and huge dash doesn't make for a good driving experience. Styling wise, the a pillar post makes this look like a jellybean. The rear will always look like an early 2000s ford escort. Interior looks too stylish when it debuted, now it looks tired. Too disco. Looks like an out of style suit.

This EV alone is so complex, I wouldn’t let any untrained mechanics lay their hands on it.
