The 2023 Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 debuts packing specs of 677 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of just 3.2 seconds. Its specs also include 738 lb-ft of torque and a top speed of 149 mph. Its price has not been announced but it has a release date of early next year. In addition, Mercedes has also revealed an EQE 43 but didn’t reveal its specs. However, only the EQE 53 will be sold in the States.
Performance Specs
The new 2023 Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 offers a performance-oriented drive concept with two electric motors. The powerful electric drivetrain (eATS), with a motor on each of the axles, also offers fully variable all-wheel drive, which optimally transmits the drive power to the asphalt under all driving conditions. Here is a break down of its specs:
AMG EQE | |
Maximum total output: (without/with AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package) | 617 hp/ 677 hp |
Maximum total torque (without/with AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package) | 701 lb-ft/ 738 lb-ft |
Acceleration 0-60 mph (without/with AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package) | 3.4 / 3.2 seconds (min. 70% state-of-charge; est.) |
Top speed (without/with AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package) | 137 mph/ 149 mph |
Dynamic Plus
The AMG Dynamic Plus Package combines driving dynamics extras including the powerful boost for RACE START, the increase in maximum speed to 149 mph, and the emotional AMG SOUND EXPERIENCE “Performance”. With Race Start the Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 needs just 3.2 seconds to sprint from 0-60 mph.
The onboard bass actuator and speakers make the power of the electric motors clear even when stationary, and provide an emotionally charged sound backdrop to match the high acceleration. However, the AMG Sound Experience can also be deactivated at any time via the settings of the multimedia system.
New Battery
The new 2023 Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 is equipped with a powerful 328-volt high-performance drive battery manufactured using the latest lithium-ion technology. It has a usable energy content of 90.6 kWh and consists of ten modules with a total of 360 pouch cells. The battery management system is also tuned specifically for AMG.
In the Sport and Sport+ drive programs the focus is on performance, in the Comfort drive program the focus is on operating range. Lastly, another new feature is the possibility to install updates for the battery management system over-the-air for continuous improvements over the life cycle.
Charging
Another advantage of the new battery generation is the quick charging times. The energy storage system can charge with up to 170 kW at fast charging stations with direct current. Electricity for 112 miles (WLTP) can be recharged in just 15 minutes. Thanks to the onboard charger, the electrified AMG can be conveniently charged at home or at public charging stations with alternating current.
AMG AWD & AMG Ride Control
The power of the engines in the 2023 Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 is brought to the road by the standard-fit AMG Performance 4MATIC+ variable all-wheel drive. The system continuously distributes drive torque between the front and rear axles depending on the driving situation.
In addition, the AMG Ride Control+ air suspension with adaptive adjustable damping is based on a four-link front axle and multilink rear suspension. Both are optimized with AMG-specific wheel carriers, suspension links and antiroll bars
Rear Axle Steering
The Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 is equipped with rear axle steering as standard. The steering angle of up to 3.6 degrees promotes agile handling. At speeds below 37 mph, the rear wheels steer in the opposite direction to the front wheels. This makes the Mercedes-AMG EQE maneuverable, light-footed and nimble.
However, at speeds above 37 mph, the rear wheels steer in the same direction as the front wheels. This increases handling stability and driving safety at high speeds, during fast lane changes or sudden evasive maneuvers.
Interior
The interior of the 2023 EQE 53 is also dominated by style-defining AMG features. The new model offers a sporty ambience, including AMG seats with individual graphics and special seat covers in MB-Tex with microfiber and red decorative topstitching. Seat upholstery in nappa leather is optionally available, also with AMG specific seat graphics. In addition, there are AMG badges on the backrests of the front seats and embossed AMG emblems in the front head restraints.
Hyperscreen
The 2023 Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 can be optionally equipped with the innovative MBUX Hyperscreen. This large, curved screen unit extends from A-pillar to A-pillar. Three screens sit under a glass cover and appear to merge into one. With adaptive software, MBUX adapts completely to its user and offers personalized suggestions for numerous infotainment, comfort and vehicle functions.
