Why Lease the Mercedes EQE?
The EQE is Mercedes' electric executive car, and it comes two ways: a four door saloon and a separate EQE SUV. They share a platform and a powertrain but they are genuinely different cars, with different boots, different versions and their own model pages at Mercedes. On this page we have kept them apart so you can see which one you actually want.
What both do extremely well is cover distance quietly. The saloon manages 422 miles on a charge in EQE 350+ form, the cabin is close to silent at motorway speed and the ride is set up for comfort rather than sport. If you spend hours in a car for work rather than enjoying the drive, that is the right set of priorities.
The EQE Saloon
EQE 350+
235kW (320 HP) and 565Nm from a single motor driving the rear wheels, on a 96kWh usable battery. Up to 422 miles WLTP and 0 to 62mph in 6.1 seconds. This is the volume car.
Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 4MATIC+
Up to 460kW from motors on both axles with fully variable all wheel drive, on a 90kWh usable battery. Up to 306 miles. Properly fast, and noticeably thirstier for it.
Four trims on the saloon: Sport Edition, AMG Line Edition, AMG Line Night Edition Premium and AMG Line Night Edition Premium Plus. The AMG EQE 53 has its own Night Edition and Night Edition Premium Plus specifications.
The EQE SUV
A separate model with a taller body, a bigger boot and a wider choice of drivetrains. The SUV is offered as the rear wheel drive EQE 350+, the all wheel drive EQE 350 4MATIC and EQE 500 4MATIC, and as the Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 4MATIC+ SUV, which runs a 90kWh usable battery, up to 279 miles and 950Nm.
Battery size varies between SUV versions and the published figures do not all agree, so rather than quote you a number that might not match the car, tell us which version you are looking at and we will confirm the official capacity and range on that exact derivative.
Three trims on the SUV: AMG Line Edition, AMG Line Night Edition Premium and AMG Line Night Edition Premium Plus. Note the Sport Edition that opens the saloon range is not offered on the SUV.
Charging, Boots and the Things People Assume
It is worth being honest about the charging speed, because it is the EQE's one real weakness and nothing else on the spec sheet hints at it. Both bodies peak at 170kW on a DC rapid charger. That is perfectly usable, but Mercedes' own far smaller and far cheaper new CLA takes 320kW on its newer 800 volt system, so an EQE will sit at a motorway charger for noticeably longer than a newer Mercedes doing the same journey. Given how much range it has, you will stop less often, which softens it. If you charge at home it is irrelevant.
Two practical points people get wrong. First, the saloon is not a hatchback. It has a conventional bootlid with a fairly narrow opening, holding 430 litres and rising to 895 litres with the 40:20:40 rear seats folded. The EQS above it is a hatchback, which is where the confusion comes from. The SUV has 520 litres, up to 1,675 litres folded, and a tailgate you can actually load through.
Second, there is no front boot on either body. On the SUV the bonnet does not open at all. So the charging cables live in the boot, which is worth knowing if you were planning on the frunk you get in a Model S or an e-tron GT.
EQE on Business
A fully electric car sits in the lowest company car tax band, which is why an EQE through a business often works out very differently from the same car privately. Those bands change each tax year and they are rising, so take the current figures from your accountant rather than from any website, including ours. If you are quoting it as a company car, ask us for the CO2 and the official range on the exact derivative and we will put the numbers in front of you alongside the rental.

Mercedes EQE Leasing FAQs
Both. Mercedes sells the EQE saloon and the EQE SUV as two separate models with their own specifications, boots and version line-ups. They share a platform and a powertrain, so they drive similarly, but you choose one or the other.
Up to 422 miles WLTP for the EQE 350+ saloon, which is the longest legged version. The AMG EQE 53 saloon manages up to 306 miles, and the AMG EQE 53 SUV up to 279. Cold weather, motorway speeds and larger wheels all reduce those figures.
Up to 170kW on a DC rapid charger, which takes the AMG SUV from 10 to 80 per cent in about 32 minutes. It is perfectly usable, though slower than Mercedes' newer 800 volt models. On an 11kW home or workplace charger it fills overnight.
No. Neither body style has a front boot, and on the EQE SUV the bonnet does not open at all. The charging cables travel in the main boot.
The saloon holds 430 litres, rising to 895 litres with the rear seats folded. The SUV holds 520 litres, rising to as much as 1,675 litres. Worth knowing the saloon has a conventional bootlid rather than a hatchback tailgate, so the opening is narrower than the EQS above it.
The saloon runs Sport Edition, AMG Line Edition, AMG Line Night Edition Premium and AMG Line Night Edition Premium Plus. The SUV runs the same ladder without the Sport Edition. The AMG EQE 53 has its own Night Edition and Night Edition Premium Plus specifications.
It can be very effective, because a fully electric car sits in the lowest company car tax band. Those bands change each tax year and are rising, so get the current figures from your accountant and we will give you the official CO2 and range on the derivative you are quoted.
LetsLease is a credit broker rather than the lender. We arrange the agreement and place it with a funder such as Lex Autolease, Novuna, Ayvens or Santander, and that funder owns the vehicle and holds the agreement with you. Because we work across several funders rather than one, we can compare how each prices the same car.
