What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the EQE SUV is very quiet and refined, roomy inside and well equipped, with a competitive range. The common criticisms are a high price and material quality that falls short of it; What Car? and Parkers found the ride abrupt, especially at low speed, although Autocar rated its handling and comfort highly.
