2023 Genesis Electrified G80 vs. 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE350 4Matic

Last year, we compared the upstart Genesis G80 against one of the benchmark mid-size luxury sedans, the Mercedes-Benz E-class. Now there are electric versions of both, and it's a very different contest between the new 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE and the Genesis Electrified G80. While the E-class has been around for decades, Mercedes just recently launched its EQ electric subbrand, and the EQE is among the first models to reach the U.S. This time around, Mercedes is just about as new to this as Genesis is.

The two companies have taken different approaches for their EVs. While the Electrified G80 is merely a standard G80 sedan with a battery pack and electric motors instead of a gasoline engine, the EQE is entirely distinct 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.
