The Mercedes-Benz EQE (V295) is a battery electric executive car produced by German automobile manufacturer Mercedes-Benz Group. It is part of the EQ family,[2] and was presented at the Munich Motor Show 2021. The only model available at launch has been the rear-motor EQE 350. Its engine has a peak power of 215 kW (292 PS), and it has a range of up to 660 km (410 mi). More variants are said to follow later, including a 4Matic AWD dual-motor setup with a peak engine power output of up to 500 kW (680 PS).[3] The U.S. will get one version simply called the Mercedes AMG EQE which is the same as the 460 kW (625 PS; 617 hp) EQE 53 4matic+ seen in Europe.[4]

In February 2022, the high-performance Mercedes-AMG EQE 43 & 53 4MATIC+ versions were unveiled.[5] Changes include power bumps of up to 505 kW (687 PS; 678 hp), 1,000 N⋅m (738 lb⋅ft) of torque, upgraded internals and AMG touches inside and out.

In March 2022, the EQE 350 4MATIC and EQE 500 4MATIC were unveiled. In July 2022, the cheaper EQE 300 version was unveiled.[6]
