About Mercedes-Benz EQE 500 4MATIC 2025

The 2025 Mercedes EQE 500 4MATIC combines elite electric performance with refined luxury, advancing Mercedes’ legacy in the executive saloon segment and standing out with innovative tech, sophisticated design, and benchmark safety.

Overview

Mercedes’ EQE 500 4MATIC expertly merges traditional craftsmanship with visionary electric mobility, elegantly positioned beneath the flagship EQS to rival executive electrics like the BMW i5. It boasts a muscular dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup, delivering stellar performance and confident, long-distance comfort. Pricing starts around €88,214, while competitively priced used models surface from €57,450. This is the ideal choice for those who appreciate classic luxury but demand modern EV sophistication.

What’s New for 2025

Significant refinements enhance the EQE 500 4MATIC’s appeal for 2025, headlined by a more natural-feeling regenerative braking system for smoother energy recuperation and a boost to everyday efficiency. The anticipated “Disconnect Unit” elegantly decouples the front motor during steady cruising, extending range by reducing unnecessary electrical draw. Cold-weather performance benefits from a newly standard heat pump, maximizing battery efficiency even as temperatures drop.

Design & Exterior

Wafting through the air with its “one-bow” silhouette, the EQE encapsulates understated grandeur—less ostentatious than competitors, yet irresistibly elegant. The signature black panel grille anchors a futuristic front end, flanked by Digital Light headlamps and distinguished by AMG Line flourishes. Its imposing size (4946 mm long, 1906 mm wide, 1503 mm tall) reminds drivers of its executive aspirations, while the aerodynamics and flush detailing reinforce Mercedes’ commitment to efficiency.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Inside, the EQE 500 4MATIC sets a new benchmark for luxury EV cabins—even the standard spec bathes passengers in premium materials, ambient lighting, and intuitive digital controls. Space for front and rear occupants is generous, with rear seat comfort notably elevated among its peers. The boot swallows 430 litres (expanding to 895 litres), and while a front trunk is absent, the rear is highly practical. Center-stage is the intelligent MBUX touchscreen; for tech enthusiasts, the panoramic Hyperscreen remains a sensational upgrade. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration support seamless digital lifestyles.

Performance & Driving Experience

A powerhouse under the skin, the EQE 500 4MATIC’s dual Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors generate 300 kW and a mighty 858 Nm, propelling it from 0-100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds and up to a 210 km/h top speed. The ride is whisper-quiet and composed, with 4MATIC all-wheel drive ensuring assured handling even in adverse conditions. Regenerative braking is customizable for varying driving styles, offering a tailored and efficient experience befitting a luxury EV.

Range, Battery & Charging

Equipped with a 90.6 kWh battery, real-world range is estimated near 489 km—impressive for an executive-class saloon. Energy consumption is rated at 5.4 km/kWh. Charging flexibility is assured via CCS Type 2 port; standard 11 kW AC charging fills the battery in around 8.2 hours, or quicker if upgraded to 22 kW. Rapid DC charging peaks at 170 kW—replenishing 10-80% in roughly 32 minutes, minimizing downtime during long journeys.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Boasting a full 5-star Euro NCAP rating, the EQE 500 4MATIC surrounds occupants with advanced safety systems. Active Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Assist, and sophisticated emergency braking come standard. Opting for the Driving Assistance Package Plus unlocks further autonomy, such as adaptive cruise control with route-based speed adaptation and active steering assist—ideal for effortless motorway travel.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

European buyers receive a robust 2-year, unlimited mileage vehicle warranty, paired with an industry-leading 10-year/250,000 km battery warranty (guaranteeing at least 70% original capacity). Optional service plans help simplify ownership, and reduced servicing needs set the EQE apart from legacy combustion models—making it as practical as it is premium.

For discerning drivers, the 2025 Mercedes EQE 500 4MATIC sets the new standard for luxury electric motoring—where technological innovation and timeless elegance meet.

1-Stop Range Definition 🔋

The 1-Stop Range is calculated using the standardized driving profile and assumptions outlined below.

It represents the total distance covered in two trip stops, separated by a single 15-minute fast-charging session.
For vehicles without fast-charging capability, only the distance of the first stop is considered.

🚗 Driving Profile

  • Begin with a fully charged battery
  • Stop 1: Drive until the battery reaches 10% state-of-charge (SoC)
  • Perform a 15-minute fast charge
  • Stop 2: Continue driving until the battery again reaches 10% SoC

📋 Assumptions

  • Driving speed, climate, and environmental conditions are based on Real Range Highway data
  • No additional time required to initiate or stop the charging session
  • The charging station always delivers the maximum power requested by the vehicle
  • The battery is assumed to be in optimal health and condition

⚠️ Important Note : In real-world driving, it is practically impossible to replicate these conditions exactly.
This benchmark should therefore be viewed as a comparative metric, designed to evaluate vehicles under standardized conditions rather than predict exact trip distances.

5-Star Rating Definition ★

The 1-Stop Range represents the distance a vehicle can travel after a single 15-minute charging stop. To highlight the influence of temperature, this range is calculated under three identical weather conditions used in the Real-World Range benchmark. The 1-Stop Range in combined conditions is the basis for the star rating, which offers a quick and comparable measure of long-distance suitability across different vehicles. This rating helps drivers immediately see whether a car is practical for extended trips relative to its peers.

Assignment of Stars in 2025

  •  0 less than 200 km
  •  from 200 km to 325 km
  • ★★ from 325 km to 450 km
  • ★★★ from 450 km to 575 km
  • ★★★★ from 575 km to 700 km
  • ★★★★★ more than 700 km

Based on 2025 thresholds: 3 stars awarded for 490 km average. Half-stars interpolated. Vehicles with a rating between these values receive a rating based on a linear scale.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%) ⚡

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle.

  • Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
  • Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
  • Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80% Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%
