Funny how non-luxury brands are beginning to look more luxurious than the luxury brands, at least on the outside
You are so right!
Agreed
I never cared for Mercedes exterior. It’s pretty mid.
this car truly is hideous. Can’t believe it’s a 90K vehicle. Genesis puts this to shame, from a design perspective 🤦♂️
@@thabitpulak true Genesis better style(except for the GV60 that is lol)
Mercedes-Benz knows how to put together a solid machine. Personally not onboard with the overall design and those wheel inserts have me feeling some type of way but man it can scoot!!! Awesome review Joe and Lori and Steven!!!
I’m glad that you are digging this one
Lol
You can remove the inserts. I had to to change the tire on one at work. I’m going to lease one soon.
Also Joe is the best reviewer in the world, I need a Joe as a real estate agent lol
You are awesome my friend!
Dude, you’re the hardest hustlin auto reviewer! Well done and keep it up!
Req: would love to see you feature how Apple CarPlay works while you’re behind the wheel: particularly when cars have these YUGE screens. How controllable from the wheel controls?

I thought the wheels looked like they had speakers on them. Imagine they allow you to play music from them somehow 😂
Excellent review! This is awesome.
I really appreciate you taking the time to say that!
Epic Review Joe
Thanks for saying that Razi!
Hi Razi
@@leotorres1539 Hey!
Looks pretty good, especially the interior but I'm not sure if this is the 90,000 dollars car I would buy.
I am right there with you Omar!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, I KNOW it’s not …..
Nowadays, I don't know if just anyone can buy a $90,000 car, without putting themselves in the broke category.
@@johnnybravo5044 exactly
Literally the price of the gas s class
Can i get this body kit for my civic too?
Oh I’m sure
I think so - it’ll run you 90k.
I like the simple elegance of the exterior. The lines flow nicely without being too boring. Those wheel inserts though...I'm with you, Joe. Big zonk on those. I could learn to love the interior except for the gloss black on the center console.
Nice camera work, Stephen!
Thanks for showing Steven some love, and for sharing your thoughts on this one David!
@Raiti's Rides, @ 5:12 you zonked the cheese grater hubcaps but the reason why these are so prevalent in EV vehicles such as this and the Tesla Model 3, is it decreases the drag coefficient to < 0.21 which in turn increases the slipstream and thus more mileage per kilowatt hour on their battery packs.
@@battosaijenkins946 Who cares about any of that if it dont look good on a 100k car.
@@derrickdavis7917 Lol. You can always change the wheels and reduce your range to under 200 miles. 😊
Thanks Joe….. I’m sticking with gas internal combustion for now. See you on the next ride ! 😎

@@clearcut6818 what, in 2050?
@@danielmiller9012 2030 for sure
The EQE on the side is so the owner and everyone driving by knows which one it is. The EQS has it too. Since they look identical, just being slightly different sizes, people need to know. 🤣
No rear cup holders?
Nope not at all
Rear cupholders are inside the central arm rest
For that price tag, I rather lucid pure. Better build appeal, better range, better performance
Sounds perfect!
👍🏽 🚗 Thank you Joe and Steve! 🤠
You are so very welcome
i dont like the exterior shape (all for aero that doesnt even give it groundbreaking range??) and the fact that you cant even use the front boot for storage but ill forgive everything just because the interior is the best in the industry, literally unmatched with the design and ambient lighting. amazing
I agree. The exterior does not do it for me. But the interior almost makes up for it for me
@@criminalscumx the spec joe had wasn’t even the best one. the white interior spec is out of this world
I have a 2013 E350 sedan, luxury trim, and it gets admiring glances everywhere. The EQE will take some getting used to. Although MB has done very impressive work, the exterior doesn’t quite give me a feeling of luxury and class. So I’ll keep my old car garaged, cleaned, and waxed. But to owners of the new EQ Series, congratulations!
technology is advancing so quickly it’s obsolete after a year I would wait a couple years .
You are so very right
I like your commentary so much. You're amazing and so entertaining!!! Now I want some red delicious apples lmaoo
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you
2 mercedes emblems on the front?
...the one on the hood should be raised like the older models had or just keep 1 emblem
it's in there.
it's their brand identifier.
My very first electric car! Nice review Joe.
Thanks Jeremiah for always watching!
@@RaitisRidesYou're welcome Joe.
I’m about to go to the dealer tomorrow to possibly leave with one.
How do you like the car up to now????
I would say either this or really a Maybach, it’s really all about choice and this is a good one.
This is so very true!
@@RaitisRides I appreciate you Joe.
No frunk? Zonk! That’s the biggest bonus of an electric vehicle!
Major zonk in my book!
I heard the industry obtained numbers that said people didn’t use them. I wonder who they asked and how they got those numbers🤔
@@alejandronopasanada5302 what? Who!? I dont believe it. I mean maybe not day to day but road trips yes indeed!

The EQE may be controversial to some people, but I love how this car looks like! The only zonk I have is that you can't open the frunk of this car. (But other than that, it looks amazing).
Oh great😩, electric is taking over the world… RIP 🪦 Combustion engines
Tryst me I feel your pain!
Just wanted to come in here and mention that the back seat does have cup holders. You just needed to press it twice. Once for the phone holder and the second time for the cup holders.
Well I’m in the minority but I’m getting one. The AMG version. 617 hp,677 lb-ft
701 lb-ft; 738 for limited periods of time
w/Race mode. I put my order in this week. My build is in late January. I can’t wait. It’s Model S numbers for sure. But Benz interior!!!
Sounds like a plan Danny
I heard 4-6 months after an order. You in the 🇺🇸?
@@Antoinemalone Yes my build date is in January so I’m guessing by the time it arrives it will be close to 4 months (5 maybe)
I really love the all electric Mercedes EQE! It’s very nice!! I love all Mercedes
IK a lot of ppl are gonna disagree with me but Mercedes eq models design language has grown on me A LOT I quite like the way these look now
23:18 I love the unintentional demonstration of why using a touchscreen for almost all functions is distracting and dangerous. The guy was on a straight road and almost went off his lane. Imagine trying to use that screen on a narrow and windy European road with potholes.
Is this same body size as the normal I.C.E. E-Class?
Joe is a BMW fanboy 😅
Almost at 1mill subs !! Keep ‘em coming Rati🔥
Thanks for the great review - and I can answer the backseat USB charging port "door" question for you. Germans are smokers - it's an ashtray that they just put the USB ports in rather than actually redesign it.
I have a friend who will drive nothing but Mercedes.😊
I own the amg version and it’s fantastic. Drive other ev vehicles similarly priced and you’ll come to the same conclusion I did. Tesla trash
The back seat arm rest do not just hold the phone. If you double click the drink holder will pop-up
This video is Dope love your Vids helped me land my decision on my K5🔥 this car looking Fye too
Does the mercedes logo light up on the front of the car
I’m wondering if this is one of the most aero cars, what with the weird gap between facia and “YOU CANT Open my hood” hood. It looked unlatched. How is that world class AEROdynamics
Years ago I met a Honey crisp apple farmer from Oregon that encouraged me to try...and buy and now I do!
Will you doing home vlog " about mercedes , hamilton posters and others " ?
Thank you for the experience. I interested in purchasing but Mer is not making the Hyperscreen available as an option…
What is car wash mode? Chocolate milk with beef and cheddar? No thank you!
You crack me up. Its where the mirrors turn in automatically
How is a car now prices at 90k? Thats like most people life savings. Insane. I hope no one is dumb enough to buy it.
Because the government will give the buyer a tax credit and the manufacturer will get the full sticker price.
The blank panel in the rear (between the front seats) can be optioned with 4 zone climate control. I think it comes with the Pinnacle Trim. I have a Pinnacle on order and I know it has that feature...not because I have a lot of rear seat passengers...but because it looks cheap and plain without the feature. I have a friend with a 2022 S580 (with almost no options) and it has the blank panel also and it just looks cheap.
I understand the cup holders are in the back armrest. Just need to pull the cellphone holder further.
Shutup
Great review as always. If I was going to go full electric today I think id have to take a serious look at this car.
Are there any cup holders in the back?
Yes in the doors william.
1.) Absolutely 💯 yes. 👍
2.@22:02
If I may be so bold as to suggest, " let's charge," for all future EV-related content where "on throttle" may be inappropriate?
Hmmm that’s a possibility
The center dash vent reflected in the windshield would drive me crazy
This is a very good point!
@@RaitisRides Honeycrisp Apples are in season.
The car has such a gorgeous interior. It's a little more than I want to spend on a car, but sometimes you just have to go for it.
I agree, zonk the wheel inserts
#first huge fan Mr rides
Thanks for having my back! I can't do it without you!
Awesome Luxury sedan
I am so glad that you think so.
Thanks for a great review. Where are the cupholders for the backseat?
They're in the fold-down center armrest. When you pop out the cell-phone holder slot, you press it back in halfway to make it pop all the way out and reveal the cup holders. From what it looks like in this video, Joe pressed it fully back into the center armrest, which just stores the mechanism again instead of allowing it to pop out fully. There are other EQE videos floating around on YT that show it
I believe there are actual cup holders behind the Slim Jim holder, you just have to pull it
That is excellent info! Thank you so much for that!
Wow ! $90.000 plus ? No Frunk ? Noooooo way . Nice review tho . Thanks Joe ….
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
having owned 3 new mercedes now, I think they are too expensive for what you get, yes they drive nicely and have lots of options, but as an example look at the new SL63, $260,000 canadian, and there are lots of higher performance cars for that money. I find they get a lot of rattles inside the interior and are not as solid as some of the previous models, E class in particular.
Hoping to see reviewing Lucid Air.
It certainly looks good. But so do I.
You are freaking hilarious!
LOL You are awesome
Remote start?
Exterior styling reminds me of a 1996 Ford Taurus and not in a good way.
Not to sure about that.
I would like to see 500 miles range
Better than the EQS
I think you meant *”cheaper”* than the EQS.
Actually a little smaller
@@mybro727 This is very true
@@mybro727 that too
@@RaitisRides small and better indeed the EQS is just too much also I prefer the independent trunk lid rather than the hatchback style
Why can't Mercedes make a good looking electric car :( it looks like a floating jelly bean. The EQS is horrendous too. It's disappointing and looks like a $17,000 dollar car.
I happen to really like it and will order one in the Spring. When was the last time you saw a $17k car?!😂
@@pacmanc8103 Thought this thing was till I saw they’re scamming people for nearly 100k for that generic looking garbage 🤣
@@Slimothy 91k isn’t bad for this car at all. The EQS is around 25k more and the ICE S500 is another 10k. It’s a upper mid-price, mid-size Benz. I can’t wait. Having the charger installed in a couple weeks.
@@pacmanc8103 This car is not worth 2 month's salary. I'd rather drive a 1999 Toyota Camry than this soul-less jelly bean. I couldn't be seen in something like that. Enjoy it, you might be the only person on the planet that thinks it looks good.
@@pacmanc8103 Make sure you get the car in pink and tell them to put some tampax in the glovebox, cause you obviously got a 🐱 if you’re driving that
They should bring back fender skirts for the rear wheels
I am going to pass on that.
I guess the cup holder for the back seat are in the witness protection program. Joe, you could’ve gone full Zonk mode for the back seat area (especially at the price), you showed great restraint.
It does have cup holders. He just needed to press it twice. 🙂

For this kind of money, better off get Genesis. EV revolutionizes car companies so much, that track record of making ICE for a century, doesn't mean crap! With EV, all car companies start from zero. Luxury brands like merc, BMW, bentley, etc is rendered useless
Right - the Tesla and Hyundai/Kia/Genesis build quality and desirability are exactly like Benz, BMW, and Audi!😂
@@pacmanc8103 your idol euro brands are downgrading and cutting corners more than ever. You're just too fanboy to see it
@@lucky889s9 What else would one who touts a Hyundai say?!😂
@@pacmanc8103 with EV, everything starts from scratch. Previous ICE engine and reputation don't mean anything. Build quality and material are already on par when audi, bimmer designers join kia/hyundai/genesis
@@lucky889s9I’m afraid that isn’t really true. Vehicles made for the masses will continue to build vehicles for the masses. It isn’t as revolutionary as you’d like. How many used Kia/Hyundais do people desire - not many. They’re junk after 50,000 miles.
Couple things: the Hyperscreen option is not available on the EQE 350 or 500 sedan. It is only available on the AMG version (not AMG line styling). That's per corporate per my dealer.
Second, the drop down flap for the USB ports in the back is because that panel is where the rear climate control panel goes in higher trims or when the 4 zone climate control is optioned.
Are you in the 🇺🇸? It's available I know on the 350 here.
@@Antoinemalone Yeah, I'm in the US.
I can't wait til the next gen with hopefully less derpy styling and better range.
Maaaaan that backseat comparison to single ply toilet paper was right on.
The design doesn’t look so appealing with Mercedes new design scheme with there electric cars
I know it is not for everyone.
I hate the full screen Tesla and new car infotainment centers. Give use the knobs and buttons for the practical uses. If you want anything custom for other things be my guest. Also the way that is tilted, the sun glare is going to kill any view during the day driving on sunny days.
Nice Work
So the hood that can't be opened, they have to lift it for service? That's weird
Great video had to stop watching at 11:19. Lmao 🤣
Hate it or love it?? Worth the money or not I can’t afford it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The front end is ehhhh. I’m thinking it lights up at night when you turn it on;ride quality is nice but,we’ll have to wait and see how they do in the future. The torque is really respectable. The gloss black is a little heavy. What is really cool is the AC vents;very turbine-esque like an airplane turbine. And I don’t know if you guys noticed,every time Joe goes on throttle,the sound is like a startup from an airplane(Boeing)
Amazing review Joe and excellent camera work Steven.
Agreed 👍

Nice review - neat car - one note - that rear armrest - if you push the cell
phone holder thing in a second time, two cup holders pop out.
I did that 15 times
Ugh - not good
@@RaitisRides based on other YT videos, it's specifically a *half* push to get from slim-jim mode to cup holder mode. Fully pressing the slim-jim holder in just locks the thing in place again, but a half press pops it out further. This video is a 2022 model so I'm not sure if the design changed for the 2023: ua-cam.com/video/ACJ8-Ezum_w/v-deo.html
Exterior design straight from an 07 civic
Now I see lease special for 5,000 down, 7,500 miles per year at $499 per month + tax. Maybe worth considering.
When you going to review BMW 7 series 2024?
What up with these Germany EVs prices? 85k starting price? S550 goes for 30k and you get more for your money.
An S550 for 30k? What year - 2014?😛
Good review ...iam most impressed ...might persuade me away from Taycan 😮I 😮
so will Mercedes make an even smaller one and call it the eqc? to fit with the eqe and eqs
I think they will some time in 2025.
I see, we have the same taste in apples
#teamhoneycrisp
Heck yeah man
I would zonk the EQE badge on mirror and move the windshield washer fluid filler panel to that spot, if possible.
Great stuff Joe. Wheel inserts are ugly. I was hoping that little door opening on the front left fender was for a semaphore 😂 Thanks for bringing it to us.
It’s in the rear back seats which look uninspired. It’s doesn’t look special one bit, this is a let down for an executive sedan with a price of $91K
Too long video. 6 feet is nothing to repeat every time. This car bad test view you said ? That’s safety ? Just asking.
Is it made in North America?
Good question.
Definitely zonk the wheels..anyone that can afford to buy this thing will most likely buy some aftermarket wheels and not care about decreased range. Zonk on the windshield fluid door too, the less door gaps on a car the better.
Very good points!
Lexus headlights?
I love the design of this car from the exterior to the interior! Looks so much better than a Tesla. Sorry I missed the price, how much is this car?
