Even though the entry-level AMG version runs fast, it is still very efficient.
The electric motors are still there, but the output is reduced to 469 hp (355 kW), while the EQE 53 provides an additional 208 hp (155 kW) if it’s equipped the AMG Dynamic Plus package. The difference in torque is also noticeable, as the red car has only 858 Newton meters (633 pounds-feet). This is a decrease of 142 Nm (105lb-ft), compared to the more powerful variant. From a standstill it takes 4.2 seconds for the vehicle to reach 62 mph (100km/h). This makes it 0.9 seconds slower. The top speed drops from 149 mph (245 km/h), to 130 mph (209 km/h). The base model does not have the “+”, so there are no AMG Dynamic Plus Package or 4Matic+. The AWD setups of both models are fully adjustable, but the 53 comes with a more tuned configuration to improve performance.
Mercedes points out that the 43 has electric motors tuned and tuned by AMG, while the 53 features AMG-developed emotors with higher currents and modified windings. It does not include the AMG Dynamic Plus Package which can temporarily increase output. The Slippery Mode can deliver as little as 235 horsepower depending on the driving mode. Rear-wheel steering is standard on both AMG EQE models. This allows for a lower turning circle and better stability at higher speeds. Air suspension is also available for an extra cost. It’s derived from the AMG GT 4-Door Coupe and EQS. Ceramic brakes are also available, but only in conjunction with larger 21-inch wheels.
