How to spot one

Look for

  • An arched roof, cab-forward cabin and very short nose give it a smooth, pod-like profile.4
  • A large three-pointed star fills a black front panel, with no light strip above the grille.1624
  • A rear LED light bar, small trunk spoiler and gloss-black diffuser define the tail.25
  • Despite the fastback-like roof, it has a separate trunk lid and fixed rear glass.425

Year by year

  1. 2024

    The EQE 500 gains a standard 56-inch Hyperscreen across the dashboard.9

  2. 2025

    A new optional 20-inch wheel design arrives; multicontour front seats gain pillows, with rear pillows on leather interiors.10

  3. 2025 AMG

    Moonlight White Metallic joins the AMG sedan's optional paint palette.10

  4. 2026

    EQE 320+ and EQE 320 4MATIC replace the 350+ and 350 4MATIC model designations.11

  5. 2026

    New wheels include black-accented 20-inch multispokes and 21-inch AMG multispokes; the full AMG adds gray 21-inch turbine wheels.11

  6. 2026

    The Hyperscreen is offered as an option across all Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan models.11

Don’t confuse it with

  • Mercedes-Benz EQS

    The EQE lacks the EQS's front light bar and has a separate trunk lid; the EQS lifts its rear glass with its hatch.816
