In the UK prices will start at £73,450 for the base-spec 300, and £76,450 for the 350+. How much money will I need to part with then? There’ll also be zeitgeisty SUV versions of this car which will allow Merc to wring more profit out of these platforms – and begin to recoup some of the enormous investment ploughed into the EQ family. Mercedes will build EQEs for most of the world in Germany, but it’ll also be built locally in China for the Chinese market, as Mercedes looks to make the EQE the bedrock of its EV push. You can’t get the full-width Hyperscreen interface in the UK (yet). Inside there’s five seats and the reclined 12.8-inch touchscreen from the S-Class. UK cars can be specced with Airmatic suspension (as fitted to our test cars) but won’t get clever rear-wheel steering, so a British-bought EQE won’t have the turning circle of a small hatchback – it’ll need another two metres to spin around. Other markets will get a twin-motor EQE 500 and a slightly less bonkers AMG EQE 43. You can read more on that by clicking these blue words. If you want more speed, there’s always the 626bhp twin-motor AMG EQE 53.
