Mercedes-AMG: Pure power from Affalterbach 🎥
PERFORMANCE Mercedes-AMG is launching two new high-performance sedans with battery-electric drive in the form of the EQE 43 4Matic and EQE 53 4Matic+ models. Sporty sound is also to be provided in these e-models.
Mercedes-AMG is expanding its product portfolio with battery-electric performance models.
New to the range are the two business sedans EQE 43 4Matic and EQE 53 4Matic+, which are based on the Mercedes architecture of the luxury and luxury class EVA2. AMG-specific solutions, particularly in the areas of powertrain, chassis, brakes, sound, exterior and interior design and equipment, ensure a dynamic driving experience.
Power on demand in abundance
Both models offer a performance-oriented drive concept with two electric motors. The eATS powertrain with one motor each on the front and rear axles also offers fully variable all-wheel drive.
The power spectrum ranges from 350 kW (476 hp) to 505 kW (687 hp) with optional Dynamic Plus package and boost function. Maximum torques are 858 and 950, and even 1000 Nm in the short term. Both AMG EQE models are equipped with rear-axle steering as standard.
Bass actuator and sound generator
Vehicle sound has always been an important part of the typical AMG driving experience - and that is not about to change for all-electric models. The sound system in the EQE uses special speakers, a bass actuator and a sound generator to create a special sound experience, in each of the three variants Balanced, Sport and Powerful. Tonality and intensity are adjusted to the respective driving condition.
New batteries with short charging times
The new EQE models are equipped with a powerful 328-volt drive battery offering a usable energy content of 90.6 kWh. The battery management system is also tuned specifically to AMG. Another new feature is the ability to upload updates for the battery management system over the air.
One advantage of the new battery generation is also the short charging times. The battery can charge with up to 170 kW at fast charging stations with direct current. This allows electricity for 180 kilometers to be recharged in 15 minutes.
The AMG EQE 43 will arrive at dealers in April, the EQE 53 in the summer. Prices are not yet known.
