2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV: Brooklyn Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV at a Glance
The 2026 EQE SUV lineup narrows to two models: the rear-wheel-drive EQE 320+ SUV from $64,950 MSRP, good for an EPA-estimated 302 miles of range from its 96.0-kWh battery, and the all-wheel-drive AMG EQE SUV from $97,550, a 617-horsepower performance electric that reaches 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. Both prices exclude the $1,150 destination charge. Mercedes-Benz cut starting prices sharply for 2026 — roughly $10,000 off the base model and about $12,000 off the AMG — while adding a standard NACS fast-charging adapter and expanding the available 56-inch Hyperscreen display to every trim. In Kings County, the only place to see both side by side is Mercedes-Benz of Brooklyn at 1800 Shore Parkway, the borough's only authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer.
Mercedes' electric SUV just got a lot more interesting
The EQE SUV has always been a strong argument on paper: a genuine five-passenger Mercedes SUV, electric underpinnings, a cabin that borrows from the flagship EQS. What changed for 2026 is the price of admission. The base model picked up 27 extra horsepower and a new name — EQE 320+ SUV, up from the outgoing EQE 350+ — while its starting figure dropped by more than $10,000. The AMG version, now simply the AMG EQE SUV, saw an even steeper cut, about $12,000, and still shows up with 617 horsepower standard. Neither car got slower or smaller to hit those numbers; if anything, the case got easier to make.
The dealership carrying that case in Brooklyn keeps the same profile buyers expect from the brand. Mercedes-Benz of Brooklyn sits just off Belt Parkway Exit 5 near the Verrazzano Bridge, stocks more than 500 vehicles, and backs its service department with a loaner fleet over 100 strong. It's part of the Kollective Automotive Group, and its 4.41-star rating across more than 2,100 Google reviews comes from a staff that, by the pattern in those reviews, sticks around long enough for regulars to ask for by name.
Two electric SUVs, two very different jobs
The EQE 320+ SUV is the version built for the daily commute across the bridge and back: a single 235-kW motor sending 315 horsepower and 416 lb-ft to the rear wheels, a 5.9-second run to 60, and the longest range in the lineup at an EPA-estimated 302 miles. The AMG EQE SUV trades range for output — dual motors, all-wheel drive, 617 horsepower and 701 lb-ft standard, 677 hp and 738 lb-ft with the optional Dynamic Plus package, and a 3.4-second sprint that undercuts plenty of gas-powered performance SUVs twice its price. Both share the same dual-screen MBUX cockpit, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a NACS charging port that's now standard equipment rather than an add-on.

Fay John bought her EQE SUV in 2023 and left a short, specific review: "Ken was very helpful and patient during the entire process of me purchasing my new ELECTRIC EQE SUV." Georgios Tsiatsios, leasing the same model, went further: "I went to 3 dealerships and the team in Brooklyn is by far the most professional staff I have worked with. Starting with Keith Wilhelmy. He went above and beyond to work with me and answer all my questions." He also credited Leon for stepping in on a test drive, and Jimmy Calle and Will Berardino for closing out the process — four names that show up across dozens of the dealership's reviews, not just one.
Living with an EQE SUV in the five boroughs
Two companion guides handle ownership. The EQE SUV service and repair guide covers the electric-specific maintenance rhythm — tire rotations, brake fluid, high-voltage battery checks — and where to charge around Brooklyn. The pricing and leasing guide walks the money: MSRPs for both models, New York City's 8.875% combined sales tax, and how the 2026 price cuts change the lease math.
Frequently asked questions
Is the 2026 EQE SUV being discontinued?
No. Mercedes-Benz confirmed sharply lower 2026 starting prices across its electric lineup rather than an exit, and the EQE SUV remains in production and on sale for the current model year. The one real lineup change is that the mid-tier EQE 320 4MATIC SUV and the prior EQE 500 4MATIC trim are gone, leaving the EQE 320+ SUV and AMG EQE SUV as the two configurations Mercedes-Benz of Brooklyn carries.
How much does a 2026 EQE SUV cost?
$64,950 MSRP for the EQE 320+ SUV and $97,550 for the AMG EQE SUV, both before the $1,150 destination charge and before New York taxes and fees. The pricing guide itemizes both, and current national offers are posted by the dealership and refresh monthly.
What's the range of the 2026 EQE SUV?
The EQE 320+ SUV is EPA-rated at 302 miles from its 96.0-kWh battery. The AMG EQE SUV, tuned for output rather than efficiency, is rated at 230 miles from a 90.6-kWh pack. Both figures are EPA estimates; real-world range depends on temperature, speed, and how often the accelerator gets used the way AMG intended.
Is the EQE SUV a good car?
It's a comfortable, quiet, well-built Mercedes SUV with a genuinely strong performance variant, and the 2026 repricing makes both versions considerably easier to justify than a year ago. Cargo space (14 cubic feet behind the rear seats, 55 with them folded) trails some rivals, and there's no front trunk — worth cross-shopping if cargo is the priority, worth ignoring if comfort and quiet are.
EQE 320+ SUV or AMG EQE SUV?
The 320+ is the range champion and the value play at under $65,000; the AMG trades about 70 miles of range for more than double the horsepower and all-wheel drive. Buyers who drive long distances between charges lean 320+; buyers who care more about 0-60 than range anxiety lean AMG.
Where can I see both in Brooklyn?
At Mercedes-Benz of Brooklyn, 1800 Shore Parkway, off Belt Parkway Exit 5. Sales hours run Monday through Saturday, 9am to 6pm, and the store's 500-plus-vehicle inventory typically includes both EQE SUV configurations.
Two configurations, one clear starting point
Mercedes-Benz rarely repositions a model this aggressively in one model year, and the 2026 EQE SUV is the proof: same electric SUV, same cabin, meaningfully lower prices. Start with the guide for the version that matches your commute, then let a test drive off Belt Parkway settle the rest.
MSRP figures exclude the $1,150 destination charge plus taxes, title, registration, and dealer-installed options; the dealer sets the actual selling price. Range and efficiency figures are EPA estimates and real-world results will differ. Equipment, packages, and availability can shift with configuration and production timing; confirm current specs with Mercedes-Benz of Brooklyn.
