The 2023 Mercedes EQE SUV is still missing something.
, but they’re all good, and they’re all on sale now. In a race to court early adopters, the people who simply want a car powered by electricity, that matters. Those people now have more options at the Mercedes dealer than they do at an Audi store, despite that brand getting a head start on long-range EV sales in the U.S.What I’m looking for, though, is something that feels like a revolutionary leap. The EQE SUV is not that leap.
The interior is where familiarity works best. U.S.-market models feature an S-Class-style floating portrait display, with a smooth and responsive 12.8-inch MBUX infotainment system controlling almost everything. Core functions are mostly within a tap or two, but it’s not hard to get sucked into the menus hunting for the right massage or lighting setup.
The stereo also benefits from one of the quietest cabins in a production car. The EQE’s isolated motors and thick soundproofing prevented any unpleasant noise from making it to the cabin during my drive. Wind noise becomes noticeable above 70 or so, but only because of how quiet everything else is. This is a real luxury car, properly screwed together and thoughtfully engineered.But while the EQE SUV is quieter than an internal combustion Mercedes, it wasn’t quite as comfortable.
