It comes with dual motors, 4Matic+ AWD, AMG Ride Control+ air suspension, and 617 horsepower/701 lb-ft, which can be increased to 677 hp/738 lb-ft via the AMG Dynamic Plus package with Race Start. It sprints to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. AdvertisementAdvertisementThe AMG EQE SUV sits on the same EVA electric platform as the larger EQS SUV and provides an EPA range of just 230 miles from a 90.6-kWh battery pack, so it’s more aimed at performance-focused people looking for electric thrills wrapped in Mercedes luxury and SUV practicality than those wanting ultimate driving range.What's New for 2026?The 2026 AMG EQE SUV is a carry-over from last year, but two additional Sound Experiences are included as standard this year: Granular Fizz and Fractal Fusion. The only other change is the availability of a new Manufaktur paint color called Patagonia Red Metallic.The biggest news, though, is a quite dramatic price cut, which means that the 2026 Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV’s price is now $97,400, which is $12,200 lower than before.ExteriorThe AMG EQE SUV’s somewhat anonymous teardrop shape is sleek and aerodynamically efficient, not aggressive, but AMG tries to add some spice with 21-inch AMG twin 5-spoke alloy wheels with 275/40 summer tires, an AMG grille panel with vertical chrome strips, more aggressive front and rear fascias, and a rear diffuser. At 192.1 inches long, it’s about the same size as the gas GLE SUV.Mercedes-AMG EQE SUVMercedesView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleInteriorThe AMG EQE SUV has heated 12-way power front AMG sports seats, but they’re covered in MB-Tex leatherette and microfiber; Nappa leather costs extra. You also get a panoramic glass roof, a phone-based digital key, a power liftgate, 64-color ambient lighting, and, rather disappointingly, simple dual-zone climate control (4-zone climate control is an option).AdvertisementAdvertisementThe MBUX multimedia system is the real attention grabber, with the massive pillar-to-pillar Hyperscreen dominating the dashboard with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, a 17.7-inch center touchscreen, and a 12.3-inch passenger touchscreen. It incorporates wireless smartphone integration, navigation, and a Burmester audio system. Rear-seat space is very generous, with around 40 inches of leg- and headroom, but the trunk is small for a midsize SUV.MercedesView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articlePrice Range and Best Value TrimTrim LevelTrim NamePriceSole trimAMG EQE (AWD)$97,400Key SpecsPowertrainMotorsHPTorqueDrive0-60BatteryDual AMG Electric (PSM)617 hp701 lb-ftAMG 4MATIC+ AWD3.4 sec90.6 kWhEfficiencyConfigCityHighwayCombinedRangeAMG EQE SUV76 MPGe72 MPGe74 MPGe230 miDC fast charge: 170 kW, 10-80% in ~32 minAC charge: 9.6 kWTowing: 4,000 lbsSeating: 5WarrantyCoverageTermBasic Vehicle4 years / 50,000 milesPowertrain4 years / 50,000 milesEV Battery8 years / 100,000 milesComplimentary MaintenanceNot includedPros and ConsPros:3.4-second 0-60 acceleration from 617 hpAMG Ride Control+ air suspension balances comfort and handling9-degree rear-axle steering sharpens handling and eases parkingStandard NACS adapter expands fast-charging network access4,000-lb towing capacity is strong for an electric performance SUVAdvertisementAdvertisementCons:230-mile range trails less powerful EQE SUV models significantly170-kW DC charging speed falls behind segment leaders$97,400 price represents a steep jump from the EQE 320 4MATICThis generation ends after 2026 with a replacement coming for 2027Some owners report reliability concerns with electronics and softwareVerdictThe Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV is a strong contender in the sporty electric SUV space. The AMG treatment is effective, and it lives up to its billing with 617 hp and a 3.4-second sprint to 60 mph that pins you in your seat. The AMG-tuned air suspension and rear-wheel steering keep it tidy in the curves too, but it can’t quite hide its 5,800-pound weight as a Cayenne can.Other negatives include the small trunk, low range, and slower charging rate than the best rivals, but there’s a lot to like about the AMG EQE SUV, not least its way more accessible asking price for 2026. It’s a fast and comfortable way to go electric.MercedesCompetitorsBMW iX M70Porsche Cayenne Electric SCadillac VistiqVolvo EX90 Twin MotorTesla Model XShop the Car MarketplaceView the original article to see embedded media.AdvertisementAdvertisementThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Jun 2, 2026, where it first appeared in the Cars section.
