2025 Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV

Even more powerful, stylish, and tech-packed than the non-AMG variant, the 2025 Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV is a fierce performance machine as well as a comfortable luxury electric SUV. It was Mercedes-Benz‘s first all-electric high-performance SUV, and it has set the standard for the company’s marriage of environmentalism and enthusiasm.

Minor equipment updates to the Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV for 2025 include a newly standard center airbag between the front seats, standard rear headrest pillows, and pre-installation for a Digital Vehicle Key.

Starting above $110,000, the 2025 AMG EQE SUV is a premium purchase, to be sure. Yet it’s still priced competitively against rivals, which include the Rivian R1S, BMW iX, and the loaded versions of the upcoming Cadillac Lyriq-V.

The comparable Rivian R1S has a 3-motor drivetrain and starts around $108,000. It also has more space and towing capacity than the AMG EQE SUV. The BMW iX is also larger than this Mercedes-AMG model and is about as powerful in M60 form.

The upcoming Lyriq-V offers about the same horsepower but is considerably more affordable, starting at around $85,000 and up to about $100,000 fully loaded. The Tesla Model X Plaid might also be considered a competitor based on price and performance, but it lags significantly in the luxury and equipment aspects of the AMG EQE SUV. On the other hand, the Model X offers significantly more range and even quicker acceleration.

Before buying a new AMG EQE SUV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. Being only a few years old, there’s not a ton of resale data, but based on what’s out there, the AMG EQE SUV is holding its value better than the average electric luxury vehicle. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

A massive 617-horsepower total output from two electric motors gives the Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV truly brisk acceleration, with a claimed zero-to-60-mph time of just 3.4 seconds. That’s down there in serious sports car territory. The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, for example, is a half-second quicker. The AMG Dynamic Plus package also brings a temporary boost to 677 hp.

Throw in the AMG-tuned performance 4Matic+ all-wheel drive (AWD) system, AMG Ride Control+ air suspension, 9-degree rear axle steering, AMG high-performance compound brakes, plus a range of performance modes, and the AMG EQE SUV is ready to tackle just about anything anyone can throw at it, especially if that includes a series of demanding curves.

Otherwise, when driven sensibly, the AMG EQE SUV shares many of the traits of the non-AMG version, meaning it’s comfortable, quiet, and easy to drive, especially with the standard active safety features onboard.

Range and Charging

The dual-motor drivetrain in the AMG EQE SUV draws its power from a 90.6-kWh battery that, per EPA estimates, can provide up to 230 miles of range. That’s a bit less than the 302 miles of the non-AMG model, about 50 miles less than the BMW iX M60, or about 100 miles below the max of the Rivian R1S Tri.

The AMG EQE SUV charges quickly on DC fast charging, with a 10%-to-80% replenishment taking just 32 minutes at 170 kW. The SUV uses the CCS (Combined Charging System) plug rather than the more popular NACS plug.

Like all modern Mercedes-Benz vehicles, the AMG EQE SUV’s cabin is refined, elegant, high-tech, and filled with premium materials.

The front seats are especially comfortable, and rear accommodations are similarly roomy, with 40.6 inches of legroom in both rows. That’s about an inch and a half more than in the second row of the BMW iX, and about four inches more than the Rivian R1S.

Sleek, smooth, and futuristic, the AMG EQE SUV’s exterior design is simple yet elegant. The clean lines imply aerodynamic efficiency while the flared fenders and large wheels hint at the performance that awaits.

Updates for the 2025 AMG EQE SUV’s exterior are few, with a new Moonlight White Metallic paint replacing the previous Diamond White in the Manufaktur line of factory-custom options.

AMG Dynamic Plus package
This $4,000 extra adds a Race Start feature and temporarily boosts total output to 677 hp for extra-quick launches. Top speed increases to 149 mph.

Augmented Reality
Navigating unfamiliar areas is much easier with this system, which overlays street names, directions, and other helpful info onto a live camera view of the vehicle’s surroundings. This system is included with the Pinnacle trim.

Hyperscreen
The Hyperscreen stretches 56 inches across the dashboard — truly next-level technology. It houses a 12.3-inch driver display, a central 17.7-inch OLED touchscreen, and a 12.3-inch display for the front passenger.

Burmester Audio
This top-tier surround-sound system with Dolby Atmos is standard in every EQE SUV, and it’s one of our favorites.

Pinnacle trim
In addition to the augmented reality navigation system, the Pinnacle trim adds active ambient lighting for dynamic effects, a cabin fragrance and air purification system, a head-up display (HUD), and more.

Acoustic Comfort package
The cabin of an all-electric performance luxury SUV like the AMG EQE SUV is already quiet, yet it can be hushed even more with this laminated acoustic membrane glass treatment. Bonus: The treatment also absorbs infrared light, making the cabin cooler.

The single Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV powertrain comprises two electric motors, a 90.6-kWh battery, and a single-speed transmission. AMG-specific 4Matic+ all-wheel drive dynamically routes the power to all four wheels.

4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty

Mercedes-Benz covers the new vehicle and its powertrain for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is a typical warranty among European luxury manufacturers. The EQE SUV’s batteries are covered for 10 years or 155,000 miles, which is better than most and more than the federally required eight years/100,000 miles.

Safety Ratings

Although the Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV hasn’t been crash-tested by any agencies in the United States, the model it’s based on did earn the maximum five stars overall from the similar Euro NCAP program.
