The 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan's EPA range and energy consumption ratings recently emerged on the EPA website, revealing interesting changes compared to the 2023 model year.
Mercedes-Benz launched a total of four EQE sedan versions so far, including the rear-wheel drive EQE 350+, all-wheel drive EQE 350 4Matic and EQE 500 4Matic as well as the sporty, all-wheel drive AMG EQE. Their 2023 model-year EPA range varies between 225 and 305 miles, according to the manufacturer; unfortunately, there are still no 2023 model year EPA ratings available on the EPA website.
For the 2024 model year, the Mercedes-Benz EQE has a higher EPA Combined range in all AWD versions, although the RWD version has a slightly lower range.
The biggest surprise is a 38-mile increase in the EQE 500 4Matic version.
2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE EPA range (vs. 2023 model year):
- EQE 350+: 298 miles (down 7 miles or 2.3% from 305 miles)
- EQE 350 4Matic: 280 miles (up 20 miles or 7.7% from 260 miles)
- EQE 500 4Matic: 298 miles (up 38 miles or 14.6% from 260 miles)
- AMG EQE 4Matic+: 230 miles (up 5 miles or 2.2% from 225 miles)
There are no details yet about the changes between the 2023 and 2024 model year. The Mercedes-Benz online configurator still includes only the 2023 model year, but it seems that there might be some improvements on the AWD powertrain/battery. Previously, the battery in all EQEs had 90.6 kilowatt-hours of energy.

* EPA-estimated range, according to the manufacturer's website
Interestingly, the all-wheel drive EQE 500 4Matic is expected to have the same range as the entry-level, rear-wheel drive EQE 350+ with both rated at 298 miles.
Energy consumption, including charging losses, of the 2024 Mercedes EQE 350+, is estimated at 96 MPGe or about 351 watt-hours per mile.
The all-wheel drive and more powerful EQE 350 4Matic needs 6.5% more energy—90 MPGe: 374 Wh/mi—but the even more powerful EQE 500 4Matic has the same energy consumption number as the EQE 350+.
The sporty Mercedes AMG EQE 4Matic+ is the most electron-hungry, consuming about 462 Wh/mile (73 MPGe). That's more than in the case of the sporty BMW i5 M60 or BMW i7 M70.
