Mercedes AMG EQE SUV: Ugly but Comfortable!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This SUV has a beautiful and comfortable interior. But it doesn't quite outweigh the weak range.

    I asked an automotive engineer the same question, the answer is whatever stock system a manufacturer puts in a car has to be compliant with very strict safety and quality standards. (how they react or break in an accident, how they manage the constant resonance, how they take the temperature when you leave your car in the sun or in the freezing cold, etc. You get the idea) Consumer grade electronics rarely meet these criteria and I guess Mercedes doesn't have a whole hardware division for developing cutting edge tablets for cars, so you get the shitty 10 year old infotainment systems. I do agree that for the price you pay for supposedly premium car, you would deserve a much better system. Hopefully we'll get a new generation of car tablets soon because they can't get away with these "archaic" devices for much longer 😂

    It's all nonsense. Manufacturer's just don't like to acknowledge that they're terrible at certain things, UX and UI being two major ones. They could easily use Android Auto with some fancy skins if they wanted to, ala Volvo/Polestar. They'd rather ship a half arsed digital experience which is all in house, rather than giving credit where it's due. All this testing nonsense still applies to marque's who use AA, so clearly that's not the reason.

I would actually be in this market segment if I wanted an SUV and if I paying the price of an EQE, I don’t care about its drag coefficient, I want a luxury SUV that has road presence .. which happens to be electric. There’s a problem with the whole EQ line, which is who is the target demographic? Their normal buyers of E/S level sedans and suvs willing to spend upwards of 100k are not doing so to look like a jelly bean smooshed car. They do so because they like the road presence previously associated to the brand. What market is there for 100k+ vehicles that look all goofy for a low drag coefficient with mediocre range and mediocre power, that doesn’t even justify the design? Why would anyone go with EQ over the established electrics, or even BMW and Audi’s more tame approach?

Look at tesla and how their able to do constant price cuts on their cars. A car thats expensive should have good qaulity buttons for simple controls. Always. Looking down and scrolling for everything rather then just pushing and driving is exactly what "luxury" isn't.

    MANY under 30K? Lol. Tell me 5 with fast charging (100kW+) and at least 200mi/350km of range. I live in Europe where they START at 30-35k, and these would be considered VERY SMALL in the US and probably not even sold. Something like small hatches (Peugeot e-208 or some Chinese BYD crossover crap).

    I am sorry, the looks isn't the best especially for the price but i don't think it's outright ugly if you're comparing it to the BMW IX or the Model X. Especially the BMW IX with the frontend and rearend with body lines and shapes that don't flow very well at all. The model X would be even better if the headlights get a refresh to like the model 3 highland. UI is a very subjective question, i agree it's functional and the looks isn't the prettiest but it's miles better than Idrive especially in the layout of settings. Connecting your phone to Idrive takes more steps from menu to submenu to sub options just to connect your phone. And while calling this ugly, we might as well throw in vinfast and fisker under the bus too.

If you are an old man sure by all mean buy it but if you want your car to look different then buy an iX. Model X is too old to even be discussed in the same conversation.

Further refering to Frank Stephenson's video on the IX (designer of the McLaren P1 and the BMW X5). The car is designed by "product designers not car designers".
