EQE (V295) [Renders] 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQE

[MrRapp]

Watched an EQS review on youtube yesterday. Overall very positive but one of its’ letdowns is that the interior quality is not on S-class level. Back of the headrests and middle console in the back have hard plastics that don’t even fit an A-class. Mandatory cost-cutting to pay for the BEV development. Will probably take one or two generations until interior quality is back at what we are used to from top-end ICE cars now.

How do you figure?

The widescreen cockpit is an opotion north of 7k$. Thats pretty much the same with the eABC in on GLE and GLS. No GLS customer complained about the GLE. At top of that, the eABC was discontinued for the GLE in NA due to the low take rate.
Im not expecting EQE customers to go "all in". Otherwise they can stick to the EQS.

Probably true, actually. Most EQE buyers most likely won’t spec the hyperscreen due to the cost.

I imagine that a good number of EQE sedans will be procured by rental/company car fleet managers, hence the Hyperscreen will be an option not frequently ordered.

as we can see on the pic, the EQE wont even have such a big screen at the passenger side ?

I’ve kind of wondered what the point of the passenger screen is anyway. The last thing I want is my passenger messing around my settings and getting their greasy fingerprints all over the hyperscreen. The less the passenger can mess about, the better. They should just sit there and touch nothing and be grateful that I’m even giving them a ride

so don’t act like it’s all MB

I don't. I am just saying MB makes horrible cars.

Hahahah proportions, you must be blind boy.
Anyway i agree the eq Line is hella ugly , But so is the i Line Im sorry.
And No , No BMW i car or for that matter any electric car on the market can hold a candle tö the eqs ( according to reviews).
Now there are pathetic attempts like the eqc and eqa etc. but you have the i3 and i8, whole etron line minus the taycan one.
the golf e..and so on and so forth.

so don’t act like it’s all MB

I’ve been abit busy these days but don’t think I can’t see you bmw fans running around the forum holding your vaginas and giggling.
I’m here to regulate.

What i Line? i8 and i3 are old as fack and almost retired from the market. The only dedicated i car now is the iX, which is a fuly turd as well.

But, as much as I dislike what BMW has done with the iX, I believe it is far more palatable, exterior-wise, than the EQ line up. Hyundai, KIA, Renault, Ford, Cadillac, Jaguar, Porsche, Tesla... You name the brand. None is making EVs as ugly as the EQs.

Yes bmw to even worse actually . Compare the eqs to ix minus the exterior looks .
It’s not even a competition

I never understood the connection made by some, hyperscreen = premium/ luxury. So I don’t have the slightest problem that these screens can be had in both the EQE and EQS. I’d never order it anyway, if it does make it’s way in the (true) S-class.

Which review? First time I have heard quality isn't up to par...

I'd say it's just the other way around. Manufacturers are using screens instead of buttons cause it's cheaper.

Don't expect to see Bentley or RR ditching buttons for screens...

Cheaper in production for sure, but I think MB is going to ask a hefty price for that hyperscreen if you want that in your battery car -> lower costs, more revenue or cost cutting at an advanced level. It’s not new, they’ve done it before, even at the cost of quality.

 

[BorkLaser]

Are they really cheaper? Considering that screens utilize graphic cards, processors unlike buttons and that they have to withstand temperature fluctuations and have to be adapted to crash testing, I would say that they are certainly not cheap to develop and to manufacture as well.

Of course they won´t feel as upscale as some of the regular interior trim options. That´s for sure.

The price point for a Bentley product or and especially for an Rolls is, depending on the country, either between higher or extremly higher. They are also British cars unlike the German MB high end vehicles, which means that consumers have different expectations from a British car than from a German car. An S-Class is 3 times cheaper than a Flying Spur and 6 times cheaper than the RR Ghost in China. So yes, their engineering needs to be potentially 3 up to 6 times better than an S-Class.

With the EQE sedans' official presentation scheduled in just over one months time, it's remarkable how M-B has been keeping this car, in largely de-camo'd form, under wraps. I recall the plethora of sightings of only very lightly disguised EQS sedans many weeks before its' official reveal.

Yup. I wonder if this has something to do with the on-going semiconductor shortage which apparently is pushing delivery times so far out that if you order a new A-Class now, you’ll most likely get the facelift version which probably won’t be introduced until mid-2022.

I heard the EQS sales start has already been delayed for that reason. So I’m starting to think whether the EQE will be pulled out of Munich and introduced, say, early next year to keep it fresh if deliveries cannot be started anyway.

It doesn't quite work like that.

Yes they really are compared to normal buttons and haptics. Screens are practically free. Graphics cards and chips also under normal circumstances.
Why do you think every new car has a screen or multiple? From the absolute cheapest on sale, it will have a screen or two.

I don’t think so. MB is prioritizing the semi conductors they do have for the EV launches. I don’t think they’d pull it from the show just because of the delivery delays.

I am sure economies of scale has brought down prices, but it's something I've wondered about for awhile as well.

I'm pretty sure that's the AMG EQS and not an EQE.
