REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOMike Bird / PexelsOur verdict
8.2 / 10The EQE sedan is Mercedes-Benz's electric answer to the E-Class, built on the dedicated EVA2 platform and offering an interior experience that no rival can match at this price point. The 56-inch MBUX Hyperscreen alone justifies a showroom visit. A 545 km WLTP range in UAE spec makes range anxiety largely irrelevant for city and inter-emirate driving. The trade-off is a slightly soft handling character and a kerbweight over 2,400 kg — this is a luxury cruiser, not a sports car.
Who it's for — Tech-forward executives wanting a statement electric sedan with genuine long-distance UAE capability and a cabin that impresses clients. Buyers who prioritise interior theatre and badge prestige over driving dynamics.
