The EQE offers luxury and comfort but leaves driving enthusiasts wanting more.
Luxurious interior design · Smooth electric powertrain
Annoying infotainment interface · Uninspiring driving dynamics
The 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE is all about luxury and quiet refinement. Step inside, and you're greeted by an elegantly crafted interior with plush materials and a serene atmosphere that cocoons you away from the outside world. It's that kind of tranquility that makes you want to take the long way home. However, once you hit the road, the EQE's driving personality feels a bit too subdued. The handling is competent but lacks the spirited engagement you might expect from a brand with such sporting heritage. If you're looking for a smooth, comfortable electric cruiser that pampers its occupants, this is your car. But if driving excitement is high on your list, you might want to look elsewhere.
Our pick: EQE 350+ ($76,050)
vs. 2026 Tesla Model S: The Model S outshines the EQE in performance and range, offering a more exhilarating drive, but the EQE counters with a more luxurious and comfortable cabin.
