EQE 500 4MATIC (MY22-23)

The Mercedes-Benz EQE 500 4MATIC (MY22-23) is a 5-seat saloon with all-wheel drive, sold new from 2022 to 2023, when it cost €87,286 in Germany, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 4.7 seconds, quicker than 76% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 314 miles (505 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 83% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 30th of 48 saloons.

It uses around 3.5 mi/kWh (179 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 90.6 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 136 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 341 miles (548 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand in Germany, a 2022 example is estimated at €28,200–€33,000 and a 2023 one at €33,200–€36,700, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2022 car should still manage about 290 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
