The all-new, performance-oriented Mercedes-Benz AMG EQE SUV enters the U.S. market with a relatively low EPA range rating.

According to the recently released data, the 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG EQE SUV, equipped with a 90.6-kilowatt-hour battery and 21-inch wheels, gets only 235 miles of EPA Combined range.

It's a disappointing result, especially for a vehicle with a six-digit price tag, and compared to some of the other premium SUV models, which are often either more efficient or equipped with a bigger battery.

For reference, the regular 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV models (equipped with 19-inch wheels) were rated at 253-279 miles of EPA Combined range, according to the manufacturer. The 2024 model year results are not yet available.

Energy consumption, including charging losses, of the 2024 Mercedes AMG EQE SUV with 21-inch wheels, is estimated at 74 MPGe or about 455 watt-hours per mile.

The strongest point of the AMG version is its higher power output, which allows it to achieve 0-60 mph acceleration in just 3.4 seconds. Nonetheless, the BMW iX M60 can do it as well (3.6 seconds) and gets almost 300 miles of range.
