I love the microfiber materials for the interior - I love the feel of it and gives great comfort in both winter and summer. I wish that all car brands would stop removing physical buttons for the most used features in the car. For example, it's a hazard that you have to look at a screen flipping through menus when you want to reach a setting. It's exactly the same as using a mobile phone in your car. I don't understand how mobiles are forbidden, but car touchscreens - no problem!
As for Mercedes' electric naming structure, they should have given the SUVs their own names. As Thomas said, they call it the GLE, not the E-class SUV for a reason. Mercedes have already very well established that the letter "G" refers to their SUVs, they should not have thrown that out the window. They could have had the EQ(insert letter) name for the sedans, and kept the G fo the SUVs, for example, GQE; GQS etc.
If you've been around for a while with Mercedes, the G stands for "Geländewagen" which this vehicle, and most all electric "SUVs" certainly are not. Let's see what/if they call the electric G class (concept presented last year)
@@yissibiiyte good point. Maybe the decision makers for this one were at the start of their tenure and cared vs the end of their tenure and didn't. Who knows. Doesn't look like Mercedes does.
Much happier with EQS SUV than the sedan, especially the back seat and outward visibility. Now waiting on your driving impressions of the EQE SUV to see if it is as comfortable, quiet, and nice to drive as its larger EQS version. Hopefully can get smaller wheels for better ride and range, but MB loves to move you up to the larger and more expensive bigger wheels. I want the plushest interior and the smallest wheels without the hyper screen, but not always available that way!
I completely agree with you, especially on the smaller wheels. I want the ultimate isolation/relaxation cruiser. That’s not too big with higher seating position. Hopefully this car will be as quiet as the EQS SUV.
Thomas is the only one bold enough o call aspects of a Mercedes “mediocre” I appreciate his actual review vs the majority of the press that are butt kissers.
The red studio provided by MB is visually distracting and quite stressful. Stick to white or neutral colors. Thomas and Autogefuehl excellent as usual!
I love the interior and the hyper screen. If you don't like the hyperscreen: don't order it: it's optional. But the exterior has no character. It does not look like SUV. The GLE looks much better. Why Lotus can make exciting looking electric SUV: Eletre? And Mercedes instead creates cars for a grandma? And I agree with Thomas, the old seat control buttons are better.
I know that MB doesn't do simplicity, but that hyperscreen is overkill even for them... Combined with that complex button layout for the steering wheel, the in-your-face ambient lighting, it just feels like too much stuff competing for the same visual space. Just look at 19:37 for example, that is way too distracting. Plus, it doesn't even look or work that great in my eyes, is this mostly for bragging rights?
This interior looks great, I especially like the seating position and space, so far the Tesla Model Y done it the best, but obviously this is more luxurious
Great presentation as usual Thomas! I have decided to let myself enjoy the space ship sounds. They seemed rather fake and cheap at first, but driving Taycan and others with sound, I enjoy a reaction when I Accelerate or turn on the car. I’ve stopped being a ‘Synthetic noise snob’!
1675 litres. Less space than ALL the full size wagons, although it's also longer than most of them. 2.4 tons and you get a Golf wagon more on less, but taller to sit and longer to park.
Great review as always Thomas. The naming is confusing and very reminiscent of folks who name their kids the same as their own name. Wife: “Thomas” Thomas dad and Thomas son “Yes?” Wife: “I need Thomas senior. Sorry junior.” If it was me, I would’ve named the SUVs XQE, XQS, etc.
Now thanks to this side sliding port for the wipers fluid i can help my neighbor with quick heated windscreen wipers fluid. Just have to open my zipper...
Great review Thomas, as allways. I order Polestar 3 and still very happy of my choice. Don´t like this Merc's new EQ desing at all. Basic fluffy SUV and even how much there is AMG stuff, doesn't feel even bit of sporty.
Since pants can get dirty with dirt on the sidesteps (this was addressed years ago for the GLC) while entering the car, these are not so useful. What about the DC charging power? The sedan EQE can be charged with maximum 170 kW, the SUV with 200 kW - is this an update which get the sedan, too? But: State of the art are charging power of 270 kW or more - IONITY can deliver up to 350 kW.
If only MB would move away from capacitive controls and piano black plastic with their next updates S or EQ vehicles! I am leaning strongly toward the new 2023 Genesis G90 $100K version because of its controls plus great ride and quietness. Used to Mercedes and Lexus (last 6 vehicles) so not sure can stand the local Hyundai dealer and their version of customer service and vehicle sales.
You mean companies like VW who charge $1K for the optional heat pump? OK, heatpumps improve interior heating efficiency by up to 30-40% if exterior temperatures are sub-zero. At around -5-to -10C, car heaters are pulling around 2kW, or roughly 10% of the car's consumption. Improving that by 30% saves about 3% of the car's consumption, which might equate to around 15 km of extra range. It can also be used to help pre-heat a battery prior to re-charging, but that's a minor part of the journey. A heatpump is a marginal benefit for winter driving in cold climates. For people in temperate climates or warmer, it's a waste of time.
Really these giant luxury cars just brings steps back and back for electrification and saving energy. But hey , profit and the free market rules all....
i think they should've gone with EVA, EVC, EVE, and EVS (EV for electric vehicle) or ESA, ESC, ESE, ESS but this sounds kinda funny (ES for electric SUV)
Once again, I love your presentation. You're my #1 favorite. I'm not a huge fan of SUVs, but I love EQS SUV & EQE SUV in and out. Of all the Mercedes SUVs, the design of the EQE SUV caught my heart and invited me. I would choose a non-AMG version with a comfortable seat. I don't want "range anxiety." And the exterior and interior color of the EQE SUV basic one is gorgeous. I agree with you; EQE SUV would be the best. One question is how much? EQS Sedan and SUV are over my budget. And when will it be available in the US? I look forward to seeing your ride review of the EQE SUV. Thank you.
@@autogefuehl When you have a test drive, would you please let me know how EQE SUV is quiet? Some BEVs are not silently quiet, surprisingly. I heard the EQS sedan and Cadillac Lyric are the most silent-ride BEV at any speed. A quiet ride means they shut down noise from outside, too. And please let me know how the ride is. I prefer a cushioned, comfy ride compared to a sporty ride you would feel every bump on the street. Thank you.
Fantastic review as always! Fully agree, the capacitive ‘buttons’ are terrible and look cheap. They decrease safety while driving. Much of the Mercedes tech is great, and the ambient lighting looks fantastic. I am sure the car will drive very good too. But the design is once more a letdown. It may be efficient, but it just doesn’t look good.
Honestly, the GUI seems too complicated to use, specially mid drive with all these touch sensitive buttons that are way harder to memorise their position and having poorer feedback
Lucid sticks a frunk in even the most slippery sedan limousine on the market. Mercedes, in a tall hooded SUV...can't be bothered to get their packaging right and refuses you 300 litres or so of super convenient storage space.
I'd like to see the small print behind that 10% claim, but I don't doubt it will significantly improve range for AWD versions at higher motorway speeds, where previously the resistance of AWD was a killer. While heatpumps are better than nothing, their effect on range is negligible unless you live in freezing conditions and winters are routinely sub-zero.
This design theme they went for on the EQ cars just doesn't do it for me. It's just so bland. Also ( and besides the capacitive BS 😆, and the big screen overkill, and the naming ), those " Space-Age " sounds are ridiculous. MB should know/do better.
Can’t wait for the time when manufacturers can abandon their electric subbrands and go back to just have one model range which will most likely be electric.
You say you don't really need the Hyperscreen. For that matter, no one 'needs' any of the opulence that a MB offers. For buyers who want it all, the Hyperscreen is the way to go along with the many other options that MB makes available. To each his own.
This is just a short wheel base EQS. Why did Mercedes even launch it and give it a separate name? There was a time when an E was different to an S and a C. Now there's actually no point because there's nothing different. And with this having a heat pump why would anyone get an EQS.
Why the small boot? So disapointing that MB prioritizes rear leg room instead of luggage room. A sliding rear seat would fix it, but no. Less boot space than ID.4 but a waste of 40 cm long nose without a frunk. (Same as iX sadly). Only EX90 left, Polestar 3 also too big rear seat and too small boot.
That is because this vehicle was designed for the Chinese market where more emphasis is placed on rear legroom. Mercedes seems to have abandoned other markets and now focuses on styling their cars to suit the Chinese market first and the rest of the world second.
It’s literally impossible to tell the difference between an EQS and EQE on the street…..what’s the point of having two model, you could just call it EQS short wheels base or something
I can’t believe this is what Mercedes brings to the ring to fight the BMW iX…the interior, where Mercedes usually shines, is mediocre at best in this EQE SUV.
It’s a gorgeous automotive creation. I love it. I would never buy it. What a thoughtless piece of design. My wife is 5’4”. She would have one helluva time stepping over the useless running board. And she will invariably get her slacks or legs dirty. Why? It’s one of the lowest SUVs on the market, allowing for easy ingress and egress. Except the running boards will get in the way. Either electrify them to recede, or toss them onto the useless parts bin.Just makes me shake my head.
Goht Im Himmel that brown seat interior looks terrible!..Once again the tires are TOO low-profile giving a harsh ride, and that $10,000 glass dash option is ridiculous.
Thomas, the thought police :) A bit silly to even care about resources in a big battery SUV that only by God's grace will actually get a heat pump ;-) An E-Class Estate offers more luggage space and a full effort EQE Estate would have been much more economical of course, and save about 100 kilo's of steel and other materials.
They need to recall everything without a heat-pump and fit one....no-one will want to buy a non heat-pump car used..they'll be very undesirable....after-market?
@@abraxastulammo9940 it’s about maximising range in all conditions....and not many top end Mercedes owners want to freeze their buts off when it’s cold outside whilst pootling along at 90 KPH...if you’re in a cheaper vehicle maybe, but in a Merc...these kind of people don’t mind paying an additional 1k euros/dollars ..whereas they don’t want to have to recharge too much when it’s freezing outside..most South Korean brands costing half as much have one as standard equipment....efficiency is no good only in summer..
@@williammillard687 True, but in norwegian NAF test in winter the iX with heatpump lost 15 % range while the EQS lost 20 % compared to their WLTP numbers. Not sure if this is much or little.
@@abraxastulammo9940 WLTP is a joke....ultimately real world range seems to be where it’s at....if an early e-golf with a tired battery doesn’t have a heatpump, then a road-trip in winter is going to be slow and cold....2 things a Mercedes driver won’t appreciate..of course super-fast charge rates will help if your car is ‘inefficient’ but to ‘win’ you need to be good at everything!
@@williammillard687 WLTP is a mild summer test, so you will see a differentiation in winter. NAF gets better than WLTP in their summer realworld test, because Norway has stricter speed limits.

😁
The naming is confusing as hell. Can’t they just give unique names to all these EV’s? Preferably also without dirtying the AMG brand.
What? Electric e suv. Can't be much more straightforward unlike some other brands
Going to the MB dealership is easy now, just say the size and they give you a car.
nothing is worse than audi’s e-tron brand architecture.
I love the microfiber materials for the interior - I love the feel of it and gives great comfort in both winter and summer.
I wish that all car brands would stop removing physical buttons for the most used features in the car. For example, it's a hazard that you have to look at a screen flipping through menus when you want to reach a setting. It's exactly the same as using a mobile phone in your car. I don't understand how mobiles are forbidden, but car touchscreens - no problem!
👌
👍🏽👍🏽 Thomas always comes colour matched for his car reviews 🤔 Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I agree on the naming conventions this is gona get really complicated if they decided to make sportback versions like the gle and glc coupé

That’s because Polestar didn’t give us any opportunity. I would have loved to cover that

highly appreciated! Keep following!
Good looking. Still waiting for a E Class estate ev. We dont need suvs, we want estates in Sweden and Europe.
Not being able to open the bonnet is weird IMO.
Better design and they could have created space for a frunk?
They have to do better with the naming and get rid of the capacitive buttons.
I would really like to hear Thomas say ‘heckblende’ when talking about light bars in the rear.
haha i can do that
Thanks, Thomas!
Whoa - that cockpit with all the screens is approaching Las Vegas casino slot machine 🎰 visuals 😣
grazie!
I knew I could count on autogefuhl to cut through the promotional bs right at the embargo time! Much appreciated. Is there an EQC SUV planned?
Meaning, an EQC based on the electric platform, not the 1st generation.
Cheers! That wont be renewed that soon
Would take the Polestar 3 over this
The red studio provided by MB is visually distracting and quite stressful. Stick to white or neutral colors. Thomas and Autogefuehl excellent as usual!
I agree. Hard to film there. Sorry for that, tried our best :-)
@@autogefuehl no need to be sorry! It was a bad move by MB; hope they keep it neutral in the future. You guys are always great.
How this compare to the gle wen we talk about interior space? For a 1.90m and 130kg person? Front seat and back ones.
I love the interior and the hyper screen. If you don't like the hyperscreen: don't order it: it's optional.

Are the EQE models coming out as 2023 or 2024 model year models?
This interior looks great, I especially like the seating position and space, so far the Tesla Model Y done it the best, but obviously this is more luxurious
any review with the boot loading , like with luggage to see how can u fit , as i have a glc coupe and its terrible to load the bags
Is it a hand built battery pack?
Both this and the polestar 3 released within weeks- I wonder if that’s why polestar upped the price
Imagine the Lucid crew were in charge of packaging, aero and drivetrain with Mercedes in charge of...wheel caps, hood ornaments and software.
Techrich car of the year, thanks for the information 💐🙏
Great presentation as usual Thomas! I have decided to let myself enjoy the space ship sounds. They seemed rather fake and cheap at first, but driving Taycan and others with sound, I enjoy a reaction when I Accelerate or turn on the car. I’ve stopped being a ‘Synthetic noise snob’!
cheers m8 !
Much prefer this to the EQS SUV!
Much prefer the EQE SUV to the EQE sedan - ever because of the trunk and the heat pump (since every new battery-car has one).
1675 litres. Less space than ALL the full size wagons, although it's also longer than most of them.
2.4 tons and you get a Golf wagon more on less, but taller to sit and longer to park.
Yeah, just get an ID Buzz and you can put an unprecedented 31 to 49 banana boxes inside! 😜
Amg version should have 19 inch wheel option.
Great review as always Thomas. The naming is confusing and very reminiscent of folks who name their kids the same as their own name. Wife: “Thomas” Thomas dad and Thomas son “Yes?” Wife: “I need Thomas senior. Sorry junior.” If it was me, I would’ve named the SUVs XQE, XQS, etc.
hehe
like the side profile.
this full glass screen i prefer over the single screen one.
overall would take this over the sedan version.
Thanks!
✌️✌️
Also a small detail the underfloor handle in the boot looks like plastic where in 2012 ML it is chrome metal handle. Downgrading materials? 🤔
My choice is Thomas. not Mat.
🙏😉
I know Thomas still likes the nio Nomi.
😂
How about EGQ-E/S for (SUV's) ?
I laughed at the futuristic cup holders which are so advanced they can no longer hold cups. But they look so minimal and sleek.
Maybe its just me but i think there are way too many touch screens in modern cars today. Its becoming deeply annoying with each new car that comes out
Quelle est la hauteur de la garde au sol ???
7:52 200 kW charging for the smaller battery? Is this new?
Sorry still 170
Thomas great presentation. You're my #1 presenter for understanding the auto world .
Thanks so much! Please recommend 😎

I like the Hyperscreen 😃
It would be nice to have a fingerprint remover for the display.
Mercedes have tied themselves in knots with product naming structures.
Use scale modifier in Alias 3D on EQS SUV 3D model and scale it a little bit down.
Or swap the badge off an Audi e-tron.
What? Mercedes only just realised a heat-pump is obligatory? Other main-stream electric-car manufacturers figured that out years ago!!
Just use eco+ mode and freeze a little. ☺️
You mean companies like VW who charge $1K for the optional heat pump? OK, heatpumps improve interior heating efficiency by up to 30-40% if exterior temperatures are sub-zero.

@22:09 "A little bit stiff in here at the rear". Just how I like 'em #TWSS
As Always. Honest, to the point. Thorough review, that I think is world class to be honest!
Love the Vehicle
🙏🙏
i think they should've gone with EVA, EVC, EVE, and EVS (EV for electric vehicle) or ESA, ESC, ESE, ESS but this sounds kinda funny (ES for electric SUV)
Once again, I love your presentation. You're my #1 favorite. I'm not a huge fan of SUVs, but I love EQS SUV & EQE SUV in and out. Of all the Mercedes SUVs, the design of the EQE SUV caught my heart and invited me. I would choose a non-AMG version with a comfortable seat. I don't want "range anxiety." And the exterior and interior color of the EQE SUV basic one is gorgeous. I agree with you; EQE SUV would be the best. One question is how much? EQS Sedan and SUV are over my budget. And when will it be available in the US? I look forward to seeing your ride review of the EQE SUV. Thank you.
thanks so much! Please recommend our channel =)
keeping you updated with the driving review as soon as possible
@@autogefuehl When you have a test drive, would you please let me know how EQE SUV is quiet? Some BEVs are not silently quiet, surprisingly. I heard the EQS sedan and Cadillac Lyric are the most silent-ride BEV at any speed. A quiet ride means they shut down noise from outside, too. And please let me know how the ride is. I prefer a cushioned, comfy ride compared to a sporty ride you would feel every bump on the street. Thank you.
Fantastic review as always! Fully agree, the capacitive ‘buttons’ are terrible and look cheap. They decrease safety while driving. Much of the Mercedes tech is great, and the ambient lighting looks fantastic. I am sure the car will drive very good too. But the design is once more a letdown. It may be efficient, but it just doesn’t look good.
thanks so much! Please recommend our channel =)
holy shit 3.5 sec for this big car
The interior looks amazing. Merc is becoming a display company.
Honestly, the GUI seems too complicated to use, specially mid drive with all these touch sensitive buttons that are way harder to memorise their position and having poorer feedback
Lucid sticks a frunk in even the most slippery sedan limousine on the market.
Mercedes, in a tall hooded SUV...can't be bothered to get their packaging right and refuses you 300 litres or so of super convenient storage space.
Frunk or benchmark air quality for you and your family? Take a look at the really massive HEPA-filter.
Mercedes releases its electric gamma of vehicles very quickly. Very nice approach 👍. With your low shots it looks a bit like a B class🙁
definitely not a b class (thank god)
Thanks again for your effort on promoting animal free interiors
🙏🙏
If just a clutch can give 10% efficiency gain, and heatpump also some noticable amount, why did Mercedes wait so much to put these into the cars?
Maybe they weren't allowing their EV department to be too good to steal sales from their core ICE models. 😇
I'd like to see the small print behind that 10% claim, but I don't doubt it will significantly improve range for AWD versions at higher motorway speeds, where previously the resistance of AWD was a killer. While heatpumps are better than nothing, their effect on range is negligible unless you live in freezing conditions and winters are routinely sub-zero.
@@sirbuftontufton5846 In an other video Mercedes representative told that it is 5%.
It should of been called: Mercedes-EQ GLE
Or just EE
wow seats look bad, wrinkled already 🤨
i think the eqe suv looks pretty good- better then the eqe and eqs
This design theme they went for on the EQ cars just doesn't do it for me. It's just so bland.
Also ( and besides the capacitive BS 😆, and the big screen overkill, and the naming ), those " Space-Age " sounds are ridiculous. MB should know/do better.
Can’t wait for the time when manufacturers can abandon their electric subbrands and go back to just have one model range which will most likely be electric.
10:20 lmao
#capacitiveBS-buttons…..we get your point, Thomas. Perhaps focus on something else now?
This one actually looks good. I agree the interior screen is overkill.
As far as I know, no movies can be displayed during driving, also not at front passenger side.
Should've named it eGLE
Mmmm. So the best dedicated EV Mercedes is the cheapest🤨. Sounds like a great strategy!
Стильная модель
The eq* naming is always confusing to me, that's an option which I will not go optionally LOL
You say you don't really need the Hyperscreen. For that matter, no one 'needs' any of the opulence that a MB offers. For buyers who want it all, the Hyperscreen is the way to go along with the many other options that MB makes available. To each his own.
Giving tips for the best price/performance. But even when price doesn’t play a role, the base screen is easier to handle
I want the Hyperscreen.
BMW iX is so much better looking. Waiting for lottery win and next iX7:)
This is just a short wheel base EQS. Why did Mercedes even launch it and give it a separate name? There was a time when an E was different to an S and a C. Now there's actually no point because there's nothing different. And with this having a heat pump why would anyone get an EQS.
Wish it was a 7-Seat
Good review. Does Mercedes have a competition with BMW who makes the ugliest EV ?
Cheers!
Why the small boot? So disapointing that MB prioritizes rear leg room instead of luggage room. A sliding rear seat would fix it, but no. Less boot space than ID.4 but a waste of 40 cm long nose without a frunk. (Same as iX sadly). Only EX90 left, Polestar 3 also too big rear seat and too small boot.
We need an EQE T Model stat.
the polestar 3 has eqs suv price tho
That is because this vehicle was designed for the Chinese market where more emphasis is placed on rear legroom. Mercedes seems to have abandoned other markets and now focuses on styling their cars to suit the Chinese market first and the rest of the world second.
@@MaticTheProto Not in my country. Polestar 3 around €80.000, EQS suv with same equipment €120.000
@@eirik500 with decent specs the polestar is also at 100.000
Do they have Nomi assistant? No... No buy :D
It’s literally impossible to tell the difference between an EQS and EQE on the street…..what’s the point of having two model, you could just call it EQS short wheels base or something
*Yes Yes Yes!!!!!*
I can’t believe this is what Mercedes brings to the ring to fight the BMW iX…the interior, where Mercedes usually shines, is mediocre at best in this EQE SUV.
It’s a gorgeous automotive creation. I love it. I would never buy it. What a thoughtless piece of design. My wife is 5’4”. She would have one helluva time stepping over the useless running board. And she will invariably get her slacks or legs dirty. Why? It’s one of the lowest SUVs on the market, allowing for easy ingress and egress. Except the running boards will get in the way. Either electrify them to recede, or toss them onto the useless parts bin.Just makes me shake my head.
Goht Im Himmel that brown seat interior looks terrible!..Once again the tires are TOO low-profile giving a harsh ride, and that $10,000 glass dash option is ridiculous.
Really bad naming, i just saw an EQS SUV live, but it just said EQS, im like, this aint a fucking normal EQS.... looks like a SUV.
Mercedes is running out of imagination. This is most obvious in naming the cars..
The seat isn't the problem, it's actually the size of that stupid centre-rest, though it's gorgeous entire, blows BMW and Audi away.
Thomas, the thought police :)
A bit silly to even care about resources in a big battery SUV that only by God's grace will actually get a heat pump ;-)
An E-Class Estate offers more luggage space and a full effort EQE Estate would have been much more economical of course, and save about 100 kilo's of steel and other materials.
Mercedes-Benz trying not to be outdone by Polestar. lol
Your jaw makes you look a bit like gigachad x)
Edit: also the audi and porsche sports seats are way worse. I got to try them recently and ouch
😅
Nio ES7 is better
They need to recall everything without a heat-pump and fit one....no-one will want to buy a non heat-pump car used..they'll be very undesirable....after-market?
With VW it was proven the heatpump does not pay for itself in energy savings. Better get a heatpump for your house. 😉
@@abraxastulammo9940 it’s about maximising range in all conditions....and not many top end Mercedes owners want to freeze their buts off when it’s cold outside whilst pootling along at 90 KPH...if you’re in a cheaper vehicle maybe, but in a Merc...these kind of people don’t mind paying an additional 1k euros/dollars ..whereas they don’t want to have to recharge too much when it’s freezing outside..most South Korean brands costing half as much have one as standard equipment....efficiency is no good only in summer..
@@williammillard687 True, but in norwegian NAF test in winter the iX with heatpump lost 15 % range while the EQS lost 20 % compared to their WLTP numbers. Not sure if this is much or little.
@@abraxastulammo9940 WLTP is a joke....ultimately real world range seems to be where it’s at....if an early e-golf with a tired battery doesn’t have a heatpump, then a road-trip in winter is going to be slow and cold....2 things a Mercedes driver won’t appreciate..of course super-fast charge rates will help if your car is ‘inefficient’ but to ‘win’ you need to be good at everything!
@@williammillard687 WLTP is a mild summer test, so you will see a differentiation in winter. NAF gets better than WLTP in their summer realworld test, because Norway has stricter speed limits.
