2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE First Ride | E-Class of the future now

I am a bit concerned that headroom in the rear, not presently great, will be reduced. Keep in mind in China, the E Class is an "L" with extra legroom in the rear seat. Wish that model was available in the states!

Thanks!

He certainly looks like a sardine in the rear! Having your hips way below your knees for any length of time will not be comfortable.

I also noticed that the headrests on the front seats look fixed vs. movable as they are on my E450: I tend to sit up rather straight in the driver's seat and must put the headrest all the way back - otherwise the headrest hits the back of my head/neck and pushes my neck forward. I realize that for most people this is not a concern, but for me it is. The position of the headrest is one of the first things I check out in a car to make sure I can sit comfortably.

The headrests should be the same as the EQS which are electronically moveable up and down, and physically forward and back.

I just can't get used to that front end. It looks....melted and disproportional. Lucid Air is on my shortlist.

Which part of Europe? In France, it starts at 79 300 euros according to MB France for example.

EQE 500 4MATIC replacing EQC 4matic AMG line P
I am hoping they do a wagon version and given Audi have released an all electric A6 avant I think Mercedes’ will build an e class (break in France, wagon in USA T model in Germany and estate in UK) as it is in fact the best selling version here in Europe.
living with the EQC I can say I would never go back to an ICE all electric is way better😉
