Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The Jeep Wrangler uses a Petrol I4 Turbo producing 200kW and 400Nm of torque, sent through a 8-speed automatic to a 4WD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 9.3 seconds.
The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV responds with a Electric making 180kW and 550Nm, paired to a automatic driving the rear wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 7.3 seconds.
The Jeep Wrangler has the clear power advantage at 200kW vs 180kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV is 2.0s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Jeep Wrangler measures 4,334mm long on a 2,459mm wheelbase, 529mm shorter than the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV at 4,863mm (3,030mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 365L in the Jeep Wrangler and 520L in the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV, giving the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV a 155L advantage. Fold the rears and you get 2050L vs 1675L. The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV seats 5 vs 4.
For towing, the Jeep Wrangler leads with a 1,497kg braked capacity vs 750kg. That 747kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
Neither U-turns in one sweep on a 7 m local street (both need a three-point turn); the Jeep Wrangler's turning circle is 2.3 m tighter, 10.0 m against 12.3 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.
Cost to own
At 15,000 km a year, fuel for the Jeep Wrangler costs about $2,907 a year (10.2 L/100km) and electricity for the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV about $859 a year (17.9 kWh/100km), at $1.90 a litre and 32c a kWh.
Warranty: 5 years / 100k km (Jeep Wrangler) and 5 years / Unlimited (Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV). Capped-price servicing: 5 years (Jeep Wrangler), 5 years (Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV).
Where each one leads
The Jeep Wrangler: the lower starting price ($81,990 against $134,900), more power (200kW against 180kW) and the higher braked towing limit (1,497kg against 750kg).
The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV: the bigger boot with the seats up (520L against 365L).

How to read this page. Prices, specifications, ANCAP ratings, warranty, the CarSorted Score and the verdict come from our records for the grades shown, sourced from the manufacturers' Australian documents, and change when those records change; the date each was last checked is printed under the headline. Prices are recommended retail prices before on-road costs unless marked drive-away. A plug-in hybrid's fuel figure is labelled with its basis: with a full battery (the certified combined figure) or as a hybrid (battery depleted). Charging and running costs are estimates on the stated assumptions. Always confirm price and specification with the manufacturer or dealer before you buy.
