The new Mercedes EQE SUV is the big brother of the EQE saloon, and shares much of the sleek styling, premium infotainment and futuristic tech that is common across the Mercedes family. Alex Legouix heads to Portugal to find out where this model fits within Mercedes' electric range.

When will Autotrader be reviewing the Nio ET7? It has already won a bunch of awards in Germany. Get Rory to review it, he has already expressed skepticism regarding battery swapping, so it'd be interesting to see if it changes his mind. Also apparently damage to batteries has been leading to insurance companies completely writing off cars, battery swapping avoids that issue.

Let's hope Mercedes does too, but the main driver for abandoning buttons is cost so I don't see this happen any time soon, and it's partially a matter of taste.

$8,000 for the optional "dash screen". I'm just thinking down the line, many years later after the initial leasers, then the 2nd owners and down to the 3rd owners when it's 7-10 years old, the cost to own, maintain and repair these things are going to be crazy.

@N1ckZ Жыл бұрын

She clearly said it's a 1k option, not 8k. Also, they are screens 🙄. Unlike buttons, screens don't have any moving parts and therefore are a lot less likely to fail than buttons. Also, people who will buy this car, certainly don't care about maintenance fees.

@gpaje Жыл бұрын

@NickZ At 2m 50s she clearly said its a $8000 option on the lower spec cars. That gives you close to the unit price of that screen. Also, I clearly said the 3rd owners down-the-line, who will care about maintenance fees. The likely 1st owners will be leasing, under warranty, so of course they're not going to care.

I've been driving an EQE SUV loaner while my EQS SUV gets repaired. Neither one is good with bumpy roads / pot holes. You WILL feel the bumps. The suspension is stiff even in comfort mode! The EQS's massaging seats features a weak massage. So if you're looking for a plush ride and with a good deep quality massage, look elsewhere. Oh, and I was firmly told by Mercedes Benz staff that if I switch the original air suspension to a more plush after-market one, it will void the 4 year warranty.

I drove one of the latest MBUX systems with capacitive controls last month (2023 GLA 200). It was the worst interface experience I've ever had. It borders on dangerous because items that should be intuitive or easy are the opposite and require considerable focus to complete. Let's say you want to select a new playlist for a USB-attached device. If you scroll down on the horrid touchpad (what was wrong with the wheel?), then need to focus on the road for more than a few seconds, the entire menu will reset back to the currently-playing track and force you to start the playlist scroll all over from the alphabetical top. In, say, a BMW, it will remain on the playlist selection screen scrolled to where you left off seemingly indefinitely.

EV’s like this are ‘cheap’ to lease through business schemes. I’ve got a £95k BMW iX for £900 per month which includes everything except charging. Can easily afford this, but not the £95k. Our 1,500 space work car park contains mostly EV’s in the £50k-£100k price range. It’s costs more to get a petrol / diesel car on a company scheme, due to the much higher tax on ICE cars, so everyone goes for an EV.

Want the tech without the bling? Tesla Model Y at half this cost? That's nuts and it has a better supercharger network and also a bigger boot and better tech than this. This is going to compete with the next Porsche Macan electric and Audi Q8 etron. But then again, an iX from BMW is similar cost if a little cheaper, still ugly. An Audi Q4 or a BMW iX3 has similar boot space and despite smaller batteries, has similar range to the EQE SUV. This will be a success to Mercedes and they are taking advantage of the market right now. It's not a game changer but Mercedes is after the money that these big electric SUV's bring in. Good luck to them.
