Mercedes to Increase Battery Size in EQE and EQS Sedans for 2025
In 2025, Mercedes-Benz is planning to update most of its models in the U.S. lineup with bigger batteries. The EQE and EQS models will see an increase in battery pack size, with the EQE 350+ and EQE 500 featuring a larger 96-kilowatt-hour battery. This is up from 90.6 kWh in the current models, offering a potential range of over 330 miles on a single charge. The smaller 90.6-kWh battery will still be available on the EQE 350 4Matic, with a range of 265 miles.

Pricing for the 2025 EQE sedan is expected to remain unchanged compared to 2024, ranging from $74,900 for the EQE 350+ to $106,900 for the EQE AMG model. The larger battery in the EQS sedan, increased from 108 kWh to 118 kWh, is also expected to improve the range of the EQS 450+ from 352 miles to over 380 miles. The revised regenerative braking software will help optimize the efficiency of the larger battery pack in both the EQE and EQS models.
