I may be wrong, but I feel that the EQE will compete with the BMW IX; and the IX has a long line even now. And EQE is the one that Mercedes expects to be the volume seller in EVs

2023 EQE SUV 500 4Matic
I received the order confirmation for my EQE SUV 500 4Matic from Mercedes Benz on January 2nd.
They committed to everything I requested, including the HyperScreen.
Estimated delivery to me, here in Sweden, is August.
I am told it will be MY 2023, despite this late date.

For August, that timing makes sense. I sat in an EQE SUV and spoke with an MB engineer at CES yesterday. He said 2024MY production will begin July 1st and he believes hyperscreen will become more available, such as for us in the U.S. market with its volume demand. For an August delivery after cross-ocean transport, it could still well be a 2023MY. Therefore, I now don't expect so see mine (if Hyperscreen does appear in our order guide) until the Fall. If Hyperscreen doesn't become available, I guess I am back to seeking alternatives. The engineer at CES confirmed that there is a (small) difference in the viewing angle for the gauges between Hyperscreen and the standard cluster, but enough to be blocked behind the top of the rim for me.

Thanks for the info. Did you learn more about when the EQE SUV (without the hyperscreen) is launching in the US. All their press release and the order guide mentions is Spring 2023

From my sources, "volume" production has begun. However, there is a ramp up and initial units have a variety of purposes before wholesale/retail orders are built. Spring=March, so a matter of weeks now for enough wholesale/retail volume to be built, go through what is called "containment" (part of the quality assurance process to hold on to vehicles logistcally in case anything is found in the earliest build), and shipped to create an inventory worthy of a marketing launch. Among the marketer's nightmares is an advertising launch that brings prospects in to empty showrooms.

Spoke to a dealership yesterday. They insist that all models have the same 0-60 time at 6.3 which makes no sense to me.
The AMG Line Exterior Package (DG1) option is not going to be available for the top EQE model (the EQE500)?

Here in Sweden, one can apparently order AMG Line Exterior on the EQE SUV 500 4Matic. I tried successfully in the configurator just now. But, in order to have the AMG Line Exterior, the configurator forces you to accept about $5k worth of other stuff (AMG Line Advanced Plus Package).
I realize this is a different market and things are done differently, but the possibly useful take-away from this for you is that it can, apparently, be done from a routine production/engineering perspective.

Thanks ScottC2! It appears that the AMG exterior is standard on the EQE500 here. Can't get a clear answer in regards to whether the hyperscreen is an option on the EQE SUV at all. Dealers are just very poorly informed at the moment (or in general).

EQE500 gets AMG Line exterior standard in the US, and there's no hyperscreen available this model year.

AN MB engineer I spoke with at CES was optimistic about hyperscreen for 2024MY production starting in July for EQE SUV.

Any visibility on build dates? My local dealer told me maybe 5 months because they have two people who have already reserved.

I should have mentioned that I am in the US. No idea on build dates. I am guessing that it should be 30-45days from the time the order gets into the Mercedes system. The longest wait seems to for the dealer to get an allocation, which is want I think your dealer is saying

MB usually doesn't announce the price until the car is about to go on sale, so likely march april or may this year, but the price should be within a few thousand of the Sedan price. The EQS SUV is actually the exact same price as the EQS Sedan.

Thanks... looks great.

I actually got a PO # from my Sales Rep at Mercedes of Manhattan - he said late June or early July. Hopefully they'll have pre-ordered cars for sale at the dealer before my quoted date.

This is the first detailed driving video of the EQE SUV I have seen. It’s not really a review. At the 11 minute mark, the person says that deliveries in the US will start in March

This is VERY interesting for those of us who need Hyperscreen. It has been thought to be unavailable on EQE SUV at the start of production (not in 2023 order guide), with hopes of appearing for 2024 ordering in May(?). This MB employee spends much time specifically promoting Hyperscreen in the EQE SUV which tends to counter some posts that said it would not be available at all in EQE SUV. The model shown is a 500, so perhaps the 350+ won't qualify, but I cannot imagine that MB would allow this video to be produced if a feature they so heavily promote will remain unavailable for order.
