The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE bolsters the German luxury car-maker’s local electric vehicle range, joining the larger EQS as a luxurious and well-equipped coupe-sedan with great safety credentials and impressive technology. It’s priced to be a genuine alternative to existing ICE competitors, too. As we’ll discover, there’s plenty to like about the EQE, but it’s not perfect.

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE has been awarded the full five stars by ANCAP to coincide with its launch today.

This follows an impressive Euro NCAP assessment in which the EQE received 95 per cent for adult occupant protection, 91 per cent for child occupants, 83 per cent for pedestrians and 81 per cent for safety assistance features.

There are honestly too many safety systems to mention, but rest assured that as you drive along the car is looking out for you to the front, back and sides to ensure you don’t run into anything, nothing runs into you and, if a collision is inevitable, it can prepare the vehicle to keep the occupants as safe as possible.
