On February 16, 2022, Mercedes-Benz released two AMG electric models: the AMG EQE 43 4MATIC/53 4MATIC+.
Let’s first take a look at the important performance parameters:
AMG EQE 43 4MATIC:
- Double motor all-wheel drive system, maximum power of 350 kW, maximum torque of 858 Nm;
- 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 4.2 seconds, top speed of 210 km/h;
- WLTP range of 462-533 km;
AMG EQE 53 4MATIC+:
- Double motor all-wheel drive system, maximum power of 460 kW, maximum torque of 950 Nm;
- 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 3.5 seconds, top speed of 240 km/h;
- With the optional AMG Dynamic Plus package, power is increased to 505 kW, 1000 Nm, and the acceleration time drops to 3.3 seconds per 100 km;
- WLTP range of 440-518 km;
In terms of the battery, the AMG EQE model is equipped with a 328V power battery with an available energy of 90.6 kWh, consisting of 10 modules and 360 cells. The BMS supports OTA upgrades to achieve full life cycle software upgrades. The EQE 53 4MATIC+ even uses AMG dedicated wiring to enhance the current carrying capacity. As for the battery material, a nickel-cobalt-manganese 8:1:1 recipe is used.
The AMG EQE supports multiple driving modes. The optional AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package can increase the power of the EQE 53 4MATIC+ by 10%.
The interior has a sporty atmosphere, created by a large screen, carbon fiber, leather, and red lines, which combine technology and sporty style. This creates a perfect balance between mechanics and futurism.
Other technical details include:- AMG aerodynamics package;
- AMG air suspension, rear-wheel steering system;
- Front 6-piston calipers, 415mm brake discs, and optional 440mm carbon-ceramic brake discs;
- Supporting 170 kW fast charging;
As the second pure electric mass-produced car launched by AMG after the AMG EQS, the AMG EQE is positioned as an entry-level model of AMG electric driving performance with the EQE 43 4MATIC, while the EQE 53 4MATIC+ is committed to providing stronger driving dynamics.
For car enthusiasts, the price of EQE AMG imported into China may be of greater concern. In terms of performance parameters, the AMG EQE lags behind the Tesla Model S Plaid, which will be delivered in 2022, with a maximum power of 750 kW, 1020 horsepower, acceleration of 2.1 seconds per 100 kilometers, and support for 250 kW fast charging, all priced at only about 800,000 Chinese yuan. What will the domestic price of EQE AMG be?
Let’s wait and see if traditional sports car products can continue to maintain their leading edge in the wave of electrification.
