Mercedes-Benz EQE V295
Weaknesses, engine ratings and buying advice
Engine Overview
The Mercedes-Benz EQE V295 is available with 3 engine variants — from 245 to 476 hp.
Electric executive saloon on the EVA2 platform. Same drivetrain technology as EQS but shorter wheelbase. Battery 90.6 kWh, range up to 654 km WLTP.
- !! Software Recall — Sudden Loss of Drive
A fault in the BMS fault management logic can deactivate the electric drive without warning. 15,000 vehicles affected (EQE + EQS, MY 2023–2025).
Symptoms: Sudden complete loss of drive without prior warning while driving. - !! Recall — BMS Software Fault, Sudden Drivetrain Loss
Identical recall to the EQS: BMS control unit can reset due to too many simultaneous diagnostic requests and cause immediate drivetrain failure. Affected: EQE 2023–2025. Resolved via software update.
Symptoms: Sudden drivetrain failure without warning while driving, braking assistance remains active but propulsion fails - !! DC Charging — Compatibility Issue with Alpitronic Stations
During DC charging the EQE sends too high a pre-charge voltage, which Alpitronic chargers flag as an error. Problem occurs at EnBW, E.ON, Allego, and Aral Pulse stations. Mercedes resolved it via software update.
Symptoms: Charging starts briefly and aborts immediately, charger displays an error, AC charging works fine, problem only at Alpitronic DC stations

Vehicle Weaknesses
| Weakness | Cost | |
|---|---|---|
| Wind Noise at A-Pillar Increased wind noise from approximately 120 km/h at the A-pillar seal. Readjusting the door seal at the workshop usually resolves the issue. Symptoms: Whistling/hissing at higher speeds from the A-pillar from 15,000 km | Low |
