On the inside, the EQE will be familiar to those who’ve seen the EQS. Returning in a blaze of pixels is the hyperscreen. This 56-inch piece of curved glass houses a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 17.7-inch infotainment display and a 12.3-inch passenger display, all featuring Merc’s innovative MBUX user interface. Trimming the rest of the cabin is MB-Tex fake leather, while the EQS’s Energising Comfort massage and relaxation system is present too. The EQE gets new Sounds of the Sea, Summer Rain and Forest Glade settings.
Overall, then, while the EQS was the headline-grabber on its reveal, the EQE is the one you’d more likely consider buying. This could be a very real look at the evolved electrified future of Mercedes, except it’ll be on buyer’s driveways as soon as the end of next year. A full model lineup with pricing is expected soon, with the aforementioned AMG performance model expected to be revealed next year. Is the EQE the strongest rebuttal yet to the Tesla Model S?
