We have pricing for the new fully electric Mercedes-Benz EQE Sedan, including the Mercedes-AMG EQE 43 4Matic! Here’s how much you’ll pay in South Africa…

Wondering how much the new Mercedes-Benz EQE Sedan will cost in South Africa? Well, pricing for this fully electric executive saloon (not to be confused with the SUV version wearing the same EQE badge) has finally be added to the local Mercedes-Benz configurator as the German company continues its EV offensive.

As expected, the local V295-generation line-up comprises a pair of derivatives at launch, slotting in below the EQS Sedan. The first is the EQE 350+ Sedan, which starts at R1 724 650 (a figure that comes in a little lower than the indicative pricing released at the start of 2023). As a reminder, this variant employs a permanently excited synchronous motor at the rear, drawing power from a 10-module 90 kWh (useable) lithium-ion battery pack.

The EQE 350+ Sedan’s peak system outputs stand at 215 kW and 565 Nm, while the WLTP single-charge range tops out at 654 km. According to the Stuttgart-based firm, the 0-100 kph sprint is seen off in 6.4 seconds, with top speed limited to 210 kph. With a maximum DC charging capacity of 170 kW, Mercedes-Benz says moving the battery’s state of charge from 10 to 80% at a fast charger would take approximately 32 minutes.

In the case of the EQE 350+ Sedan, the Electric Art exterior pack ships standard, while upgrading to the AMG Line exterior package adds R102200 to the price. The Night Package costs R22000, while Mercedes also offers a trio of equipment packs: Advanced (included), Advanced Plus (R81300) and Premium (R145600).

Individual options include larger alloy wheels (up to R49000 for 21-inch AMG items), a panoramic sliding sunroof (R34000), climatised front seats (R18000), a head-up display (R22000), a Burmester surround-sound system (R26 000) and an increase in the AC charging capacity from the standard 11 kW to 22 kW (R20500).

What about the Mercedes-AMG EQE 43 Sedan? Well, the lower-powered version of Affalterbach’s take on the saloon (no sign of the 505 kW EQE 53 4Matic+ yet) kicks off at R2 112 950. The 43-badged model features an “AMG-specific” electric motor on each axle and is thus all-wheel drive.

Maximum system outputs stand at 350 kW and 858 Nm, while the sprint to 3 figures takes a claimed 4.2 seconds (with top speed pegged at 220 kph). Like the EQE 350+, the EQE 43 employs a 90 kWh lithium-ion battery, though here it yields a WLTP range up to 534 km.

A pair of optional equipment packages is also on offer for the Mercedes-AMG EQE 43 Sedan, though here they cost less: R37800 in the case of the Advanced Plus and R61100 for the Premium package. In addition, Mercedes-Benz SA offers a few AMG-specific options, such as a high-performance ceramic composite braking system (R90000) and red-painted brake callipers (R14500). There’s also the MBUX Hyperscreen for the price of R155 000.
