Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan or EQE SUV: which fits Manchester, NH drivers?
The EQE SUV suits Manchester drivers who want more ride height, cargo room and all-wheel drive for New Hampshire winters. The EQE Sedan suits drivers who want a lower, more aerodynamic car for highway miles. Mercedes-Benz of Manchester sells both, at 875 Gold St in Manchester, NH.

Pick the EQE SUV for Manchester snow and cargo, the EQE Sedan for highway miles
The EQE SUV is the better fit for Manchester snow and gear. Its 55 cubic feet of cargo room is five times the sedan’s 10.9. The sedan leads on highway range, with 267 EPA-certified electric miles in its 4MATIC® trim against 253 for the SUV’s. Mercedes-Benz of Manchester sells both new, so the choice comes down to how you drive.
Used cars, trucks and SUVs from any brand are on our lot too. Our certified pre-owned Mercedes-Benz vehicles carry a 1-year unlimited-mileage warranty, extendable to 2 years, plus 24-hour roadside assistance and trip interruption coverage.
How do the EQE Sedan and EQE SUV handle New Hampshire snow?
Body height does: the SUV stands 65.8 inches tall, and the sedan stands 59.5. Snow is the reason that matters here. Massabesic Lake, on Manchester’s eastern edge, averages 52.8 inches of snow a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020 normals).
A taller, boxier SUV body suits drivers who clear a driveway and load a car in the cold. The sedan suits drivers who mostly drive plowed highways and want a lower car on the road.
How much cargo and passenger room does each EQE give a Manchester family?
The SUV gives 55 cubic feet of cargo space, against 10.9 cubic feet in the sedan. That is the biggest gap in this comparison, and it matters most for winter loads like sleds, snow gear and grocery runs.
Rear-seat room favors the SUV too. Its second row offers 40.6 inches of legroom, against 38.2 inches in the sedan. The sedan’s front row is roomier, at 41.7 inches to the SUV’s 40.6. Bring the car seats you use and sit in both rows before you decide.
How far does each EQE go on a charge for Manchester highway trips?
The sedan goes farther on a charge at both trim levels. The 320 Plus sedan carries an EPA-certified electric range of 308 miles, and the 320 Plus SUV carries 302. In the 4MATIC® trims, the sedan’s 267 miles beats the SUV’s 253.
For highway trips, the sedan also rates higher on highway MPGe, at 85 against the 4MATIC® SUV’s 78. The drive from Manchester to North Conway is 99.7 miles each way (MapSof.net). On that kind of trip, the sedan’s longer rated range leaves more room before a charge.
What do the EQE Sedan and EQE SUV cost, and can you buy one in Manchester?
The 320+ sedan and 320+ SUV both start at $64,950. The 320 4MATIC® sedan and 320 4MATIC® SUV both start at $67,450. We offer upfront pricing.
You can buy either model in Manchester. We list both new at Mercedes-Benz of Manchester. Production of the EQE sedan and SUV for the U.S. market halted on September 1, 2025, and has since resumed. All model year 2026 EQEs continue to be produced for the U.S. market and can be ordered at U.S. dealerships (Car and Driver, 2026).
EQE Sedan and EQE SUV specs side by side for Manchester drivers
The SUV gives 55 cubic feet of cargo room to the sedan’s 10.9, and the sedan gives more front legroom. Mercedes-Benz publishes the figures below for the 2026 model year, and the electric range is EPA certified.
| Spec | EQE Sedan 320 4MATIC® | EQE SUV 320 4MATIC® |
|---|---|---|
| Starting MSRP | $67,450 | $67,450 |
| Height | 59.5 in | 65.8 in |
| Legroom, row 1 | 41.7 in | 40.6 in |
| Legroom, row 2 | 38.2 in | 40.6 in |
| Max cargo | 10.9 cu ft | 55 cu ft |
| EPA electric range | 267 mi | 253 mi |
Both 4MATIC® trims start at $67,450, so price does not separate them.
When is the EQE Sedan or the EQE SUV the wrong choice?
The EQE SUV is the wrong pick for a driver who puts the longest range per charge and the lower, sleeker body first. A driver who wants that range and does not need all-wheel drive for snow should look at the 320 Plus sedan.
The sedan is the wrong pick for a driver who needs cargo room. At 10.9 cubic feet, it leaves little space for a family’s winter gear. A driver who hauls that gear every week will want the SUV.
Frequently asked questions
Do the 4MATIC® sedan and SUV make the same power?
Yes. According to Mercedes-Benz’s 2026 specifications, the 320 4MATIC® sedan and the 320 4MATIC® SUV each list 315 horsepower and 564 lb-ft of torque.
How much range does an EQE lose in cold weather?
AAA’s testing found that battery electric vehicles lose 39.0% of calculated driving range at 20°F compared with 75°F (AAA, 2026). Plan on less range in winter than the EPA rating shows.
What can the EQE SUV tow?
The EQE SUV 320 4MATIC® is rated to tow 3,500 pounds, according to Mercedes-Benz’s 2026 specifications. That rating applies to the 4MATIC® trim.
How fast can each EQE charge?
The 320+ sedan and the 320+ SUV each accept a maximum charge rate of 170 kW. Both 320+ trims carry a 96 kWh battery.
What warranty covers an EQE?
Mercedes-Benz’s basic warranty on the EQE sedan and SUV runs 4 years or 50,000 miles. The basic coverage applies to the whole model line, both trims.
What EV fees apply to an electric car in New Hampshire?
Battery electric vehicles pay a $100 annual registration surcharge under RSA 261:141-c, which is in effect until 2027 (New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated, 2026). From 2027, that surcharge becomes a weight-based annual fee. Federal help has ended for new purchases: the New Clean Vehicle Credit is not available for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025 (Internal Revenue Service, 2026).
