Mercedes-Benz EQE (V295) - Technical update (2024-2025) Initially launched in 2022, the Mercedes EQE (V295) represents the 100% electric equivalent of the E-Class. For the 2024-2025 model years, Mercedes has carried out a major technical update (often likened to an invisible 'facelift') to correct the teething problems of the early models. The major evolutions of this 2024+ generation include: * The integration of a heat pump as standard, drastically improving winter efficiency. * A complete revision of the braking system to correct the spongy and artificial feel of the pedal (a major flaw of the 2022-2023 models). * The addition of a Disconnect Unit (DCU) on 4MATIC models, allowing the front motor to be decoupled at cruising speeds to increase range. * A new battery chemistry on certain v
Final verdict The 2024-2025 generation Mercedes EQE is a formidable electric grand tourer that has managed to correct the mistakes of its first launch year. The addition of the heat pump as standard and the correction of the brake pedal feel transform the driving experience. It is a silent and ultra-comfortable mile-muncher. However, its pachydermic weight leads to rapid tire wear and its classic trunk limits its family vocation. The expert's choice: The EQE 350+ is the perfect balance point. It offers the largest battery, the best range, and more than enough power, while freeing itself from the weight and complexity of the front motor of the 4MATIC versions.
