Record summary
What to know first
EQE 320+ is single-motor RWD with the longest range; EQE 320 4MATIC adds a second motor for AWD; AMG EQE is the 617-horsepower (677 hp boost) performance flagship. The EQE and EQB have no 2027 model year in the U.S.: Mercedes is exiting both nameplates after 2026 as part of an EV lineup pullback, so 2026 is the current year.
Model-year note
Mercedes renamed the base pair from 350+ and 350 4MATIC to 320+ and 320 4MATIC as a running 2026 change, a 27-hp increase to 315 hp for both (torque still differs by drivetrain: 416 lb-ft RWD versus 564 lb-ft 4MATIC). The EQE 500 4MATIC trim was discontinued in the same update. The EQE and EQB exit the U.S. lineup after 2026. The EQS survives one more year (2027, its own final year) with a major update before Mercedes' next-generation electric architecture replaces both.
