- Base prices for EQE SUV lineup carry forward unchanged
- EQE SUV continues with CCS charge port, amid shift to Tesla NACS
- Base model is priced for the EV tax credit (purchase), but it appears not to qualify
Mercedes-Benz continues to offer its EQE electric vehicle in both sedan and SUV body styles, with the latter receiving only small changes for the 2025 model year.
The only changes to report are newly-standard rear-seat headrest pillows, a center airbag between the front seats, and digital key functionality. Most models are now also available with front-seat headrest cushions and soft-close doors. A new paint color—Manufaktur Moonlight White Metallic—also joins the palette.
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV is once again offered in single-motor EQE 350+, dual-motor EQE 350 4Matic and EQE 500 4Matic, and AMG EQE performance guises. EQE 350+ models produce 288 hp and 417 lb-ft of torque, while EQE 350 4Matic models increase torque to 564 lb-ft.

The EQE 500 4Matic steps up the dual-motor powertrain to a higher combined output of 536 hp and 633 lb-ft, while the AMG EQE dials things up even further with 677 hp and 738 lb-ft and a 0-60 mph time of 3.4 seconds. That compares to 4.6 seconds for the EQE 500 4Matic, 6.2 seconds for the EQE 350 4Matic, and 6.3 seconds for the EQE 350+.
While the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan receives a bigger battery pack expected to yield more range, it appears the EQE SUV will stick with its 108-kwh pack. Expect EPA range to remain at 307 miles for the single-motor EQE 350+, 282 miles for the EQE 500 4Matic, 265 miles for the EQE 350 4Matic, and 235 miles for the AMG EQE SUV.
Mercedes plans to adopt the Tesla North American Charging Standard (NACS) port for future models, but for now the EQE SUV continues to use the Combined Charging Standard (CCS) port. A maximum power rate of 170 kw allows for a 10%-80% charge in 32 minutes, while a 9.6-kw onboard charger can fully recharge the pack from a 240-volt source in 9.5 hours.
2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV
Introduced for the 2023 model year, the EQE SUV is the middle model in the Mercedes electric crossover lineup. It sits between the EQB—an all-electric derivative of the gasoline GLB-Class—and the 3-row EQS SUV. It received an updated regenerative braking system for the 2024 model year, shared with the EQE sedan and the EQS models.
Pricing starts at $79,050 (including a $1,150 destination fee) for both the EQE 350+ and EQE 350 4Matic models. This pricing, which is unchanged from the 2023 model year, previously allowed the Alabama-built EQE SUV to slide under the price cap for the federal EV tax credit. But this Mercedes no longer qualifies after stricter rules related to battery-material sourcing went into effect at the beginning of 2024. The EQE 500 4Matic and AMG EQE are priced at $90,650 and $110,450, respectively.
