Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 (2026) Review & UAE Price

In the transition to full-electric luxury, the Mercedes-Benz EQE series plays a central role for Mercedes?Benz. The 2026 EQE 350 (or depending on market the badge may shift) brings refined design, strong tech credentials and luxury EV appeal. In the UAE market — and for buyers scanning the used-car scene via Auto Trader UAE — it’s worth asking: does this EV deliver enough to justify its premium, and how will it hold value? Let’s drive into the details.

Exterior Design

The EQE’s styling blends signature Mercedes cues with EV-specific touches. Key highlights:

• Sleek one-bow silhouette, clean surfaces and an illuminated front light-strip give it futuristic presence.
• Large wheels (up to 22″ in some trims) and flush detailing enhance the premium look.
• Subtle aero aids: the under-body, smooth surfaces and details aim for improved efficiency.
• For UAE buyers, the colour palette includes high-end finishes like “MANUFAKTUR” options (premium paints, etc).

Overall: it visually delivers on luxury-EV expectations. In a market where standout design helps resale, the EQE scores well.

Interior & Comfort

Stepping into the EQE 350 reveals a cabin that’s both luxury and modern-EV. Highlights include:

• The MBUX infotainment interface (with optional Hyperscreen layout) puts three large displays under glass across the dash. For example, the 2026 model gets updates in software and features.
• Premium materials: leather or high-grade synthetic options, wood or metal trim, ambient lighting.
• Spaciousness: as an executive EV sedan seating five, it offers generous leg-room and comfort for rear passengers (important in Dubai where many rides may include a chauffeur or guests).
• Climate & EV-specific comforts: silent drivetrain, refined insulation, smooth ride quality.
• Practical touches: good boot space for this class, direct routing of EV cables, perhaps smart storage. (Exact boot litres vary by variant but expect competitive numbers.)

For use around Dubai/UAE, the comfort and luxury positioning gives it an edge — but one caveat is whether the rear seating and charging infrastructure align with local needs (we’ll cover later).

Performance & Handling

Given the EV architecture, the EQE 350 delivers smooth and refined performance rather than raw sports-car thrills.

• In global specification for 2026, the EQE (in other trims) offers around 315 hp and strong torque figures (for example the EQE320+ and EQE320 4Matic) in Car and Driver’s review.
• For UAE spec 350+ (and earlier 350) the battery pack is around 90.6 kWh (usable) with a range of up to ~639 km for certain trims.
• Top speed is around 210 km/h for certain variants; 0-100 km/h is in the ~6-7 second range for the 350+ RWD version.
• Handling: the chassis is composed for comfort and quietness rather than sharp sporty dynamics — reviewers note that while the ride is plush, it lags the sharpness of some rivals.

Verdict: For Dubai roads and fast highways, the EQE 350 provides ample performance. It’s well-suited for smooth luxury cruising rather than track-day thrills.

Technology & Features

Mercedes loads the EQE with advanced tech — which is essential when targeting luxury-EV buyers.

• Charging: DC fast-charging capability (10-80% in ~30 minutes in ideal conditions).
• Connectivity: Full suite of Mercedes-Benz services (Mercedes me, OTA updates, smart functions). Dashboard and infotainment are polished.
• Driver-assistance: Adaptive cruise, lane-keeping assist, 360-degree cameras, EV-specific systems (regenerative braking, e-drive modes).
• Interior tech: Massaging seats, high-grade audio systems, ambient lighting, optional luxury extras.
• For UAE: Regional climate settings (very hot conditions) matter — good HVAC and thermal management are critical (though specific local test data may not be abundant).

In short: technically very strong and aligned with what premium buyers expect.

Safety

Safety is key in luxury EVs and for the UAE market accustomed to high standards.

• The EQE inherits Mercedes’s safety suite and electric-vehicle structural design.
• While specific UAE NCAP or regional crash data may be limited publicly, the brand reputation and global safety standards bode well.
• EV-specific safety: battery thermal management, high-voltage system insulation, advanced driver aids for urban and highway driving.

Price & Trims in UAE

Now to the all-important numbers for UAE buyers (and for your Auto Trader UAE audience).

• The official local-market pricing for the EQE SUV version (EQE 350 SUV) starts from around AED 402,900 in UAE.
• On the sedan side, the EQE 350+ is listed from about AED 342,900 in the region according to the Mercedes-Benz MENA site. mercedes-benz-mena.com
• For 2026 model year globally the versions are updated and sometimes rebadged (for example the US spec shows EQE320+ etc).
• Given the variance in trims, optional equipment and local duties/fees, buyers in Dubai may expect final drive-away cost to be higher after options, metallic paint, etc.
• As a luxury EV, the residuals and depreciation will be key for used-car market entries (relevant to your blog). (See later in verdict.)

Trim & buyer tip for UAE: For Auto Trader UAE readers — highlight local showroom offers, servicing packages, warranty inclusion (Mercedes in UAE often offers 5-year warranty in MENA region) which adds value.

Comparison with Competitors

Here’s a rapid comparison table to help readers see where the EQE 350 stands in the UAE luxury EV arena:

*Indicative UAE pricing.
Verdict of comparison: The EQE sits comfortably in the luxury-EV executive class. If the buyer values “Mercedes badge + luxury cabin + EV” over sheer driving excitement or lowest cost, it’s a strong pick. But if pure EV performance or lowest total cost of ownership is priority, some rivals may pull ahead.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Premium luxury interior and badge appeal — stands out in UAE roads.
• EV program with strong battery/range figures suited to UAE daily use.
• Smooth, refined ride quality and heavy focus on comfort.
• High technology and connectivity features.

Cons:

• MSRP is high compared with some rivals; uptake in used-market may be moderate.
• Driving feel is refined rather than exhilarating — less sporty than some competitors.
• EV charging infrastructure in UAE is still growing (though improving) — total ownership experience depends on local charger access.
• As with many luxury EVs, residual values may drop faster than ICE equivalents (something to flag for used-car market).

Verdict

For UAE buyers (and for the used-car market that your Auto Trader UAE site covers), the 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 is a compelling luxury electric sedan. It offers the prestige of Mercedes, a well-executed luxury cabin, and credible EV performance and range. If you’re looking for a five-seater premium EV for Dubai highways and city driving, it ticks many boxes.

However — for the typical Auto Trader UAE reader hunting value or looking at used EVs — a few caveats: check what warranty remains (battery & electric components), confirm charger access (home and public) and understand depreciation trends. Given its high upfront cost, the equation of “cost vs benefit” in the used-car market becomes especially important.
