: the Genesis Electrified G80 and the Mercedes-Benz EQE

In this blog post, I will compare two of the most anticipated luxury electric sedans of 2023: the Genesis Electrified G80 and the Mercedes-Benz EQE. Both cars offer impressive levels of comfort, technology and performance, but which one is better for you? Let's find out.


The Genesis Electrified G80 is based on the standard G80 sedan, but with a battery pack and electric motors instead of a gasoline engine. It has a dual-motor powertrain that produces 365 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. It has a range of 282 miles on a single charge, and can be recharged in 7.22 hours using a 220/240V outlet, or in 1.11 hours using a 440V outlet. The Electrified G80 has a sleek and elegant design, with a large grille, LED headlights and taillights, and 19-inch alloy wheels. The interior is plush and spacious, with leather seats, wood trim, a 14.5-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a head-up display. The Electrified G80 also comes with a host of advanced safety and driver-assist features, such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and a surround-view camera.

The Mercedes-Benz EQE is a new model that is entirely different from the gasoline-powered E-class. It has an aerodynamically optimized body, purpose-built EV underpinnings, and a far more futuristic interior than both its gasoline stablemate and the G80. It has a single-motor powertrain that produces 288 horsepower and 564 pound-feet of torque, and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds. It has a range of 305 miles on a single charge, and can be recharged in 10.5 hours using a 220/240V outlet. The EQE has a smooth and curvy design, with a large black panel grille, LED headlights and taillights, and 19-inch alloy wheels. The interior is modern and minimalist, with leather seats, metal accents, a 12.8-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and an augmented reality head-up display. The EQE also comes with many safety and driver-assist features, such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and a surround-view camera.

As you can see, both cars have their strengths and weaknesses. The Electrified G80 offers more power, quicker acceleration, faster charging times, and a more traditional luxury feel. The EQE offers more range, better efficiency, more futuristic styling, and more technology features. Ultimately, the choice depends on your personal preferences and needs. If you are looking for a luxury electric sedan that delivers strong performance, good real-world range, and plush interior comfort without breaking the bank (the Electrified G80 starts at $79,825 while the EQE starts at $74,900), then the Genesis Electrified G80 might be the car for you. If you are looking for a luxury electric sedan that offers comfortable ride quality (the EQE has an air suspension system that smooths out bumps), quiet cabin (the EQE has excellent sound insulation), and lots of technology features (the EQE has an advanced MBUX infotainment system that responds to voice commands), then the Mercedes-Benz EQE might be the car for you.
