2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV Will get Extra EPA Vary: Up To 307 Miles

The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV has acquired a slight improve with the 2024 mannequin yr and provides 5-10% extra EPA driving vary than the 2023 mannequin yr.

The vary increase is partially associated to basic enhancements, though some variations now have a higher-capacity battery.

Initially, there have been three common 2023 EQE SUV variations—a rear-wheel drive 350+ and two all-wheel-drive 350 4Matic and 500 4Matic—all geared up with a 90.6-kilowatt-hour battery. An fascinating factor is that within the 2024 mannequin yr, the EQE 350+ SUV and EQE 500 4Matic SUV acquired a extra energy-dense battery—96.0 kWh—whereas the EQE 350 4Matic SUV is caught with the 90.6-kWh one.

The performance-oriented AMG EQE 4Matic+ SUV was launched for the 2024 mannequin yr, and it has a 90.6-kWh battery. We guess that Mercedes-Benz will quickly full the change to 96-kWh batteries for the complete EQE SUV fleet, similar to the EQS SUV switched from 108.4 kWh to 118 kWh.

The transfer from 90.6 kWh to 96.0 kWh is a 6% enhance (5.4 kWh), however due to different enhancements utilized to the mannequin and the change from 19-inch to 20-inch wheels, the vary modifications are completely different.

The entry-level 2024 EQE 350+ SUV now has 307 miles of EPA Mixed vary or 10% greater than earlier than. It is the primary and solely 300+ end result for the mannequin. The all-wheel drive 4Matic variations have virtually 5% extra EPA vary:

• EQE 350+ SUV 20-in (96 kWh): 307 miles (up 28 miles or 10% from 279 miles)
• EQE 350 4Matic SUV 20-in (90.6 kWh): 265 miles (up 12 miles or 4.7% from 253 miles)
• EQE 500 4Matic SUV 20-in (96 kWh): 282 miles (up 13 miles or 4.8% from 269 miles)
• AMG EQE 4Matic+ SUV 21-in (90.6 kWh): 235 miles

Vitality consumption, together with charging losses, of the 2024 Mercedes EQE 350+ SUV with 20-inch wheels, is estimated at 94 MPGe or about 359 watt-hours per mile (2.8 miles/kWh). That is essentially the most environment friendly model of the mannequin.

The all-wheel-drive variations of the EQE SUV use 9-10% extra vitality than the rear-wheel-drive model—virtually 400 Wh/mile or 2.5-2.6 miles/kWh.

After all, the performance-oriented AMG model with the most important wheels is the least environment friendly. In keeping with the EPA, it averages 74 MPGe: 455 Wh/mi or 2.2 miles/kWh.

Let’s notice that the freeway MPGe scores are often decrease than the mixed values. Thus, we estimate the EPA Freeway vary is likely to be barely decrease by 10-20 miles. Nonetheless, that is solely a tough estimate as a result of the MPGe quantity contains charging losses.

The 2024 mannequin yr variations, geared up with the brand new 96-kWh battery, have a 0-60 mph acceleration time 0.1 seconds slower than earlier than: 6.4 seconds for the EQE 350+ SUV and 4.7 seconds for the EQE 500 4Matic SUV.

Pricing

Costs of the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV stay the identical as in 2023. The mannequin begins at an MSRP of $77,900 plus a $1,150 vacation spot cost.

Curiously, the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV remains to be not eligible for the $7,500 federal tax credit score regardless of being regionally produced and a few variations being underneath the $80,000 value cap. If Mercedes-Benz complies with extra battery cell/battery materials manufacturing necessities, one thing could change. For now, the motivation doubtlessly is likely to be factored into leasing.
