Design: few differences to the normal EQE

If you want carbon-ceramic brakes on the front axle, you have to choose the 21-inch rims.
Interior: new decors and displays for the AMGs

New steering wheel and hyperscreen: the AMG signature is clearly visible in the EQE.
Technology and engines: up to 687 hp with the dynamic package

Both models are almost identical in appearance, but the technology of the 53 has been modified more.
The result: with the AMG Dynamic package, the top EQE delivers up to 687 hp and 1000 Nm. If you don’t need that much power, you can use the EQE 43. Up to 476 hp and 860 Nm are available here, even without overhauled engines. Fans of engine sound will have the opportunity to show the environment how much is going on under the sheet metal through loudspeakers in the bumper.

Driving: This is how the electric AMG drives with 687 hp
On the first trip we are on the road with the 53 4Matic+. With the optional AMG Dynamic Plus package, it delivers a brutal 687 hp and 1000 Nm to all four wheels. Normal are 626 hp and 950 Nm. This shoots the dignified sedan in 3.3 seconds to 100 km / h and runs a little later at Tempo 240 in the limiter. The sound generator always gives good feedback about the load condition.
The optimized AMG Ride Control+ air suspension and the rear-axle steering are designed to ensure that the power can be mastered ideally. In order to achieve the maximum range of up to 526 kilometers (EQE 43: 534 km), on the other hand, the comfort mode, maximum recuperation and a light power base are recommended.
Prices: Nothing goes below 100,000 euros
Driving an AMG is no bargain. While the basic model EQE 300 is in the price list from 63,427 euros, the EQE 43 4Matic costs at least 103,828 euros and thus almost exactly 40,000 euros more. The EQE 53 4Matic+ is even more expensive, for which customers have to pay 109,778 euros. Both AMG variants, EQE 43 and EQE 53, can be configured and ordered online since summer 2022. The exact delivery date depends on the options chosen.
