Comparison: Ground clearance Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV vs. competitors 2025

Roll out the red carpet, or at the very least, a decent gravel driveway because the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV is strutting its, rather lofty, 131 mm off the ground. This electric aristocrat has marched right into the fray with a clearance that’s more 'gentleman adventurer' than 'country club cruiser'. It’s the kind of height that scoffs at pesky speed bumps and treats cobbled alleyways with the contempt they deserve. You see, 131 mm in the world of SUVs is akin to a game of limbo at a contortionist convention – challenging, yet supremely doable for the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV.

Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV - How has the ground clearance changed over the generations?

Now, as this opulent beast is as fresh as the prince of Bel-Air, with its reign starting in 2023, there's a rather short family tree to examine. Generation leaps? None yet, old sport. But, rest assured, should Mercedes-Benz decide to tinker with the formula in future, they'll be raising that ground clearance with the same care and precision a sommelier pours an '82 Bordeaux. For now, the singular generation of EQE SUV has set a pretty solid benchmark for its descendants to follow.

The ground clearance compared to other Mercedes-Benz models

Amongst the pantheon of Mercedes-Benz elite, where does our gallant EQE SUV stand in terms of towering over pebbles and potholes? Well, most of its siblings, especially those suffixed with 'AMG', prefer to hug terra firma with a clearance often lurking around the 81 to 90 mm mark—perfect for greased-lightning getaways and hugging apexes but hardly the choice for a rambunctious romp through the woods. Then you have the terrain-trouncing titans like the GLS and its majestic 215 mm clearance, effectively midriff to the EQE SUV. Surprisingly, the EQE SUV matches ground clearance with the S-Class Limousine and the Maybach S-Class Limousine, both at an identical 130 mm—just one tiny millimeter shy of our protagonist's stance.

How does the ground clearance of the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV compare to it's nearest competitors?

Charting the waters beyond the Star's harbor, our beloved EQE SUV dares to hold its own. The likes of the Audi Q7 (205 mm), Land Rover Range Rover Velar (213 mm), and the high-riding BMW X7 (221 mm) cast taller shadows, each brandishing ground clearances suggesting they're overcompensating for something. Then there are those that play in the same sandbox—Mercedes-Benz EQA and Tesla Model Y at 154 mm and 167 mm, respectively, are among EQE SUV’s peers prancing around the electric meadow with comparable clearances. And with a respectful nod to the rambunctious Nissan Juke, sitting triumphantly at 180 mm, one must concede that more isn't always better, as the EQE SUV orchestrates a symphony of dynamics and suave sure-footedness, perfectly pitched for its repertoire of electric opulence.
