Nice Test, Jordan! I’m really surprised how far it went given no air suspension and 2 fully connected PM motors.
Keep up the good tests! Definitely think it’s not ugly. I’m not sure where that’s coming from. Airplanes? Hate ‘em. So aerodynamic.
Super quiet? What was that thumping noise in the video. It sounded annoyingly loud.
Thats what a mic picks up and amplifies - most likely its not notable if you are in the car yourself
I don’t know what’s wrong with guys here at out of spec, in my eyes this looks just beautiful, at least better than model 3 or y!
Nothing wrong with their eyes - the car looks like an upside down bathtub.
I agree EQE looks better than those blob teslas everywhere, can see that ugly thing coming from miles away.
Way better than the Y for sure.
With this and the EQS it’s all about aerodynamics. People who knocked the looks are discounting the fact that the impressive range is achieved in a large part to the aerodynamics. And a big battery.
Lucid is equal in aerodynamics yet looks way better
It’s a challenge to balance form function requirements and not look too similar to the competition 😂
@@Chukonu5 Debatable. I think it looks horrid.
@@Chukonu5 does it? I have seen Lucid on the road now and it looks weird, not very cohesive in design. The EQE on the other hand is way higher up, you have a much better seating position if you ask my wife and it starts to look better for my taste.
I know you cannot argue about taste.
The EQE skates lightly through the air AND it looks WAY BETTER than a Prius, the standard bearer of ugly. Astounding interior, very good range. Affordable ??
Two raffle ads in the first five minutes? Bummer.
This has only the AMG styling wheels, rest of the car is not AMG.
That's not ugly. The Model X and Y are ugly!
You can select options on the range screen…sacrifice some comfort and actually hypermile!! I did that in an EQS and got 400 miles driving mostly highway.
Yeah it has air suspension you need to add it to the package
Nicely done, Jordan. Appreciate your work here!
This does not have the AMG Styling Package, neither exterior or interior, it only has AMG wheels
Constant clunking noise is so annoying. How do other cars fare in that road? Could the weight of the battery on the suspension be causing that noise? Really unacceptable at $80k+.
70mph, AWD, and went 290 miles. Dang. Awesome
❤❤❤ Love it ❤❤❤
Thank god he didn't crash this one.
Video just launched, you haven’t watched long enough to find that out 🤣
I got a EQE to many safety features for him to do that, i really like the autopilot on it
There’s a noticeable lack of curbs on interstate 80
I think the car is beautiful. Maybe you should focus on judging objective criteria and leaving the questions of taste to the viewers themselves.
Yeah if the disconnect that front motor it would definitely get over 300mile
Thank you for this test. I am convinced…. Looks like a great value for money. I will be charging mine from solar panels…
Form follows function. The car looks ugly to you BUT its form is a very important element in that very good range test.
How about you take a rag with you next time so we can see the UI screen Jordan?
Thanks so much for sharing and all your time and effort you guys put into these videos. I am confused how the SUV version the 500 that you tested which is the same size battery and 4-wheel-drive. how did the sedan get less? The SUV got 304 miles ???
Thank for this detailed range test. Very informative. It gives a good idea on what to expect in an EQE 350 4MATIC. I can’t wait for you to do an EQE 350 4MATIC SUV range test.
13:45 A passing truck - I guess they are not electronically limited to 90 kmph (55ish? MPH).
PS: I remember mr. Munroe criticizing the S Class headrest pillow, he clearly does not know how comfortable they are.
Lord no !.. especially if there are owner operator which buys the own trucks they usually can go highway speeds there are some truck companies that do put governors on their trucks but they're after then 90 kmp 😂.... If trucks here went that slow on the open highway it would be terrible for traffic the truckers and other people that's just too slow
@@jermainec2462 Being in Europe, that sounds cool and maybe scarry :)) Here, they are speed-limited; busses are limited to 100 kmph (62 mph).
@@FlorinArjocu that sounds terrible... Too slow for american highways .... Lol 😅
The truck speed limit in Colorado on rural freeways is 120 kph (75 mph). In Wyoming, rural speed limit for trucks is 128 kph (80 mph) In the western states, cars and trucks can usually go 10 kph over the speed limit before they are ticketed.
@@jermainec2462 We have much more densly populated countries with smaller roads, it would not be safe here for a 40-ton-truck to drive that fast. And we also have very strict rules about how many hours a driver can drive (max 9 hours per day (normally 4 hours x 2 + some margins to find parking, 45 minutes of rest between those 4 hours), 2 days completely off-driving after 5 days of work).
I like this car, not very interesting styling but the range and efficiency would make me forget about that!
I test drove this car at the dealer…. It freaking beautiful! I’m waiting for the EQE SUV…. Can’t wait
EQ just needs to be less blobby
Then it would be less aero which is the thing ... or go to the SUV version. I have seen it on the road now and its quite impressive.
This is Michael. Great range test. Thank you.
As for looks, it's way better than the current C and S Series which look like an angry shark and the hood/light lines don't line up which make you feel depressed every time you get in the car. Notice the EQE harmonious flow of the grill into the lights because the grill goes upwards into a smile instead of downwards into a frown.
These wheels are ugly and I don't believe this had AMG styling except for the wheels.
The interior of the car is one of the best interiors of any car, especially EVs and blows Tesla clean out of the water. You've got your digital information readily available and enough tactile controls to change things without taking your eyes off the road or having to do double Tap on the screen to get somewhere. And don't talk to me about using voice control because I have a Tesla Model 3 and the voice control stinks, and so does that of the Mercedes.
constant background thumping noise. Can't stand it. What The Frunk?
So that hideous thumping buffetting all the time was the road? I'd go nuts if I had to endure that all the time. Or was that the camera audio being overly sensitive and you don't notice it as much as a human?
Beautiful car, it’s 2024 you know😀💪🏻
Driving just 1 mile and three minutes lost one percent of battery kind of scary for me.
That slab sounds punishing. Like cruising with a flat tire.
very efficient
Considering AWD is on. But most AWD models go into 2wd mode with better efficiency.
The piano black in my Polestar came pre scratched. Using micro fiber cloth to try and keep it clean scratched it more. I hate piano black.
That said, Volkswagen did something special with the piano black in the wife's ID.4 and it never scratches.
Well here we go - it's about quality, there is cheep plastic piano black and there is....better quality one´s.
Like the style love it.
Charging has to be tested since they seem to have different cells in the non 350+ models.
Great range, must be one of the best you can get! In UK I believe this comes in at around £75k… too pricey for me, but that is the kind of capacity I’m targeting in the next few years.
the whole air suspension is overrated and unnecessary
It can lower the car for better drag
My VW ID.4 screen has never showed glare.
Great video! Although, what is this constant clunk noise?
That would be Jordans kidneys.
Ouch, I couldn’t drive on these roads for a long period of time
Pretty nice range !
Nice!
Looks like it sits pretty low to the ground…..not good for getting in and out with my bad back😞
There is an suv version of it coming soon
Do you like SUV´s? You might be one of the rare drivers for whom a SUV would makes sense - the EQS- SUV or the upcoming EQE would be then more suitable.
I just bought one it does not sit low for a car, it actually sits similar to the Chrysler 300S I traded in. My wife has the 2022 C-Class and that sits much lower.
I think it looks so much better than a Tesla.
Nice review! Do you think the air suspension would significantly improve the comfort?
I mean for what you're paying for it it should have air suspension lol. Bumpy ass ride it sounded like but maybe you notice it more cause theres no engine noise.
Weird model 3 can go longer 😮
The important part of the AMG styling is the pinstripe grille on the EQS. I guess MB thinks EQE buyers are too poor to merit such.
The pinstripe grille is only on the AMG versions not on the AMG style versions like this one. It‘s the same in the EQS.
@@e-redj Well, regardless, it's the bit of AMG bling that makes the biggest difference. And they're gatekeeping it to the most expensive version even though it likely costs no more to make.
Love the eqe! Great efficiency
Is a gd car in terms of range. U dont need so much bhp for electric, 6s is gd enough… u need the range
Is funny I don't care for the Suv style and much prefer the sedans.
Too ugly, but decent results. Thanks
Not bad for a car with EPA rating of 260!!
It’s a challenge to balance form function requirements and not look too similar to the competition 😂
Its wierd that the motors dont disengage they sure do on the 580. Sorry to disagree but it looks spectacular. Not a superfan of those particular rims but, of course, there are multiple choices. The range is ok but the additional 50 plus of the S version is essential in my area, particularly in winter.
3.3 KW per mile is good. But for the record same test - Tesla plaid did 3.8 and Lucid did 4!
Do you mean miles per KW?
Audio just blasting starting about 5:00.
66 that’s ice 🧊 cold 🥶
The EQE SUV will be of more interest to me.
can you guys do 2022 model 3 long range
The interior is pretty good i really like it but on the outside i think its a different story :D
Around 300 miles only? That’s kinda weak.
Which car does it with a ~90kWh Battery??
@@e-redj it’s not because they have a choice.
@@e-redj Model 3 does with a 75 kWh usable battery
@@eduardoforneck3335 The usable and the used and all the other figures people find out are very depending on the day and the way you measure it. But yes it seems to do 305 miles with 82kWh gross capacity.
Not bad for a smaller car.
Looking at capacitive touch piano black when you said the materials are more premium than lucid. Hmmm. Never been impressed with modern Mercedes interiors. Very gaudy and creaky.
311 WH/Mile is NOT efficient!! My 2022 Tesla Model S is averaging 266 WH/Mile so far over 3000+ miles in mostly highway driving with 20% city driving
Analogue dials on a digital display. Insane!
Does it have paddle shifters? WTF
It’s for recuperating. Actually pretty nice
@@ottovonwolf7144 isn't that what the brake pedal is for?
@@ewicky Have you ever heard of one pedal driving? If you lift your foot off the accelerator the car slows down obviously. The (shift) pedals can be used to change the regen mode. Really practical for city driving and or traffic.
@@ottovonwolf7144 Yes I have heard of one-pedal driving. And I'm familiar with regenerative braking. I don't see how paddle shifters are needed to accomplish either. If you need more braking you push the brake pedal, which is what my previous comment mentioned. Why someone would need paddle (not pedal) shifters to accomplish that, I cannot understand.
@@ewicky it’s not necessary at all. But they do have a function and for one pedal driving (where you don’t push your break pedal actually) it is nice. It’s nice to play around with it and adds to the experience that’s all. If you put your foot down onto the break it still uses regen first and then the friction breaks. It’s up to you what you want to use.
Eggy = Slippery
Well the Teslas and Porsche are as slippery without being eggy. But it's not a bad eggy anyway -- nothing like, for instance, the 90s Taurus.
@@concinnus The Model S is around 0.24 - not quite so slippery. The Taycan is 0.22. So the "eggy" shape (at least in this case) seems to have a slight advantage.
@@ericm4840 A better, newer comparison is the Lucid Air. It's .200, and while it's still curvy, no one calls it eggy.
winter today in seattle, my car only charge to 250 miles (this exact car) so I no longer trust any review - I bought it, too late
Good to see you're back Jordan
When eqc will come out?
Current EQC is not efficient and has low peak charge.
@@abraxastulammo9940 when will the new one be out?
I would say that this AVA platform can’t go down to EQC sedan size, so we will have to wait to 25-26 for Mercedes to come with a smaller platform for the EQC and smaller.
On the other side Merc has currently a slightly naming chaos, the EQC is currently an SUV too big for a C-Class SUV. The EQB and EQA are also kind of SUV/ Crosovers, so if they want to have a consistent naming convention, they will have to rename this models. 🤷♂️
@@e-redj thanks for the insight
I don’t think it looks as good as my E-series ice convertible, but it’s not bad. It’s a shame Mercedes went backwards in styling. Can you change analog binnacle display to digital?
It’s a shame the screens look like bolt-on instead of integrated into dashboard. At this price point, range should be closer to 350 miles. Light colored steering wheel looks much better than a mundane black wheel.
No electric car is worth their ridiculous unfair high prices.
No there not enough electricity in our USA to power and charge electric cars.
California now does not have enough electricity supply charging the many numbers of electric cars and this horrible state now has blackout where they forbid charging.
Our world is also running out of materials to make the batteries that is needed so we are now damaging and devastating our earth.
When the time comes to sell or trade-in an electric cars the poor owners are going to get a huge surprise for the depreciation of their electric cars because the cost of replacing the batteries is super expensive, about $20,000.00.
Electric cars owners are going to get a very huge unpleasant and ugly shock.
Be smart and AVOID buying any worthless electric car.
Amazing, everything you said was wrong.
@@Hyrppa95 Electric cars suck big time.
I will NEVER in my life buy an electric car.
If you own one then wait the pain you will have when it is time to sell or trade in your electric car...you will be crying for the ridiculous low value of all electric cars due to the very high cost of battery replacement.
Copying and pasting?😛
@@JohnUSA7 Hah - come out of the dark ages.
Please calm the camera down! It looks like you're on acid or something, while filming. It is a range test, but mate...
Yeah I have to agree with him that's a ugly ass car ... I don't know why the sedans got to look like sexy turtles on wheels but it's very funny looking
Why would you do 70mph test in a country where even trucks do 80mph… a bit pointless
Looks like shit on the outside and on the inside! My grandma would probably like it.
It seems that your grandma have a better taste than you.
