While both the Mercedes-Benz EQE and the Tesla Model 3 offer impressive performance, the EQE has a slight edge over the Model 3 in several areas. The EQE's 90.6-kWh battery pack produces 402 horsepower and 561 pound-feet of torque, allowing it to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds. Additionally, the EQE's air suspension system and rear-wheel steering provide a smooth and comfortable ride, making it an ideal choice for long-distance driving.
The Model 3, however, is slightly more agile and responsive due to its lower center of gravity and quick steering. When it comes to driving range, the EQE offers an estimated range of around 400 miles, which is a significant advantage over the Model 3's range, which varies depending on the battery pack option.
While both electric vehicles offer impressive performance, the Mercedes-Benz EQE's slightly better acceleration, smoother ride, and longer range make it a more well-rounded choice for drivers seeking a luxury midsize electric sedan.
Mercedes-Benz EQE
As for spaciousness, the Mercedes-Benz EQE and the Tesla Model 3 both offer ample room for passengers and cargo. However, the EQE has a slight edge over the Model 3 in terms of interior space and overall comfort. The EQE offers more legroom and headroom for both front and rear passengers, and its wider body also provides more shoulder room. The EQE's rear seats can be adjusted for optimal comfort, with optional heating and ventilation, making it a luxurious option for long journeys.
Additionally, the EQE boasts a larger trunk than the Model 3, providing more space for luggage and other cargo. While the Model 3 does offer a frunk, it is not as spacious as the EQE's trunk. Overall, the Mercedes-Benz EQE's superior interior space, comfort, and storage options make it a more practical and comfortable choice for drivers seeking a spacious and luxurious midsize electric sedan.
