Mercedes-Benz has committed to electrification in a big way, currently offering five different electric vehicles (six, if you count the Maybach version of the EQS SUV separately, which we’re not). Right in the middle of that broad lineup sits the EQE Sedan, which debuted for the 2023 model year alongside the similarly mid-sized EQE SUV. For 2025, the EQE Sedan gets a new battery pack and interior enhancements.

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE Sedan is on sale now. Full line pricing, including the $1,150 destination fee, is as follows:
- 350+: $76,050
- 350 4Matic: $79,050
- 500 4Matic: $87,050
- AMG EQE: $108,050
What’s New for the 2025 Mercedes-EQ EQE Sedan?
The 2025 EQE Sedan’s hard-hitting news is a new battery pack with a 96-kilowatt-hour capacity. But the bigger pack is only installed in the EQE 350+ and EQE 500 4Matic; the 350 4Matic and AMG EQE soldier on with a 90.6-kWh pack. The all-electric sedan also sees updated regenerative braking software.
From there, developments for the EQE Sedan get a little softer, as in literally soft: The optional multicontour front seats gain head-restraint pillows, and the available leather upholstery now includes throw pillows for the rear passengers (although we suppose you could throw them anywhere). Soft-close doors that prevent slamming and latch themselves are also now available.
Powertrain Specs and Range
The 2025 EQE Sedan is available with four different powertrains. At the bottom of the pyramid is the EQE 350+, which has a single electric motor driving the rear wheels with 288 horsepower and 417 pounds-feet of torque. EPA-rated range for the 350+ is 308 miles. The EQE 350 4Matic adds a motor on the front axle for all-wheel drive; total horsepower is unchanged at 288, but torque jumps to 564 pounds-feet. The 350 4Matic is good for 267 miles on a charge.
Not so long ago, a Mercedes with a “500” badge would have packed a burly V-8 engine under the hood. In the EQE 500 4Matic, though, that number denotes two electric motors with a combined 402 hp (a figure past Mercedes powertrain engineers would have been thrilled to coax from a normally aspirated V-8) and 633 pounds-feet (twist they only could have realized with turbochargers). The larger battery helps the higher-output 4Matic reach nearly as far as the 350, with an EPA-rated range of 266 miles.
Those who take their ecologically conscious luxury with a frothy flagon of punch will find the AMG EQE Sedan appealing. Here, two motors produce a nominal 617 hp and 701 pounds-feet of torque combined, but they can squeeze out 677 hp and 738 pounds-feet for brief spurts that allow it to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 3.2 seconds, per Mercedes. (That betters the EQE 500 by 1.3 seconds and the 350 4Matic and 350+ by 2.8 and 3 seconds, respectively.) The trade-off for all that power, however, is needing to find a plug every 220 miles.
Safety Features and Trim Levels
Standard safety technology on the EQE Sedan includes forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, a driver attention monitor, automatic high beams, a 360-degree parking camera and automated parking.
The EQE 350+ rides on 20-inch wheels and features LED head- and taillights, a panoramic moonroof, and keyless entry and start. It is upholstered in synthetic leather and has power-adjustable heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control and ambient lighting. The standard tech suite includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless phone charging, a 15-speaker Burmester surround sound system, and a 12.8-inch touchscreen with navigation, voice control, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The EQE 350 4Matic doesn’t add any standard features beyond the powertrain upgrades.
The EQE 500 4Matic includes Mercedes-Benz’s new Hyperscreen digital dashboard, which spans from A-pillar to A-pillar with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, 17.7-inch central touchscreen and another 12.3-inch touchscreen for the passenger, all beneath a single piece of glass.
At the top of the lineup, the AMG EQE Sedan rides on an adaptive air suspension with rear-wheel steering and features performance-tuned AWD logic and upgraded brakes. Its safety suite gains adaptive cruise control, lane-centering steering, automated lane changes, emergency stop assist and road-sign recognition. The AMG also includes upgraded exterior lighting, augmented-reality navigation and a heated steering wheel.
