In September 2021, the German manufacturer Mercedes lifted the veil on a new electric sedan by the name of EQE. This car is in a way the little sister of the EQS with regard to its less generous dimensions, but remains no less enduring given its autonomy of 660 kilometres.
Six months later, the firm from across the Rhine is strengthening its range with two new versions of the EQE: the EQE 43 4Matic and EQE 53 4Matic+, which put the package on power. These two versions are also intended to be longer (4964 mm), but less wide and less high than the model presented last year.
Always higher
The EQE 43 4Matic has two electric motors: one at the front, the other at the rear, for a combined power of 476 hp (350 kW) and a torque of 858 Nm. This configuration allows it to shoot down the 0 to 100 km / h in the space of 4.2 seconds and to reach a maximum speed of 210 km / h, we learn in the official press release.
Its 90.6 kWh battery gives it a range of between 462 and 533 kilometres, when its charging power can increase to 170 kW. On this last point, nothing changes.
The EQE 53 4Matic+ takes the numbers even further and claims an output of 626 hp (460 kW), which can even climb to 687 hp (505 kW) with the AMG Dynamic Plus package and a boost function. Its torque can soar to 1000 Nm for a 0 to 100 km / h in 3.3 seconds (against 3.2 seconds for the Tesla Model S).
Its top speed varies between 220 and 240 km/h depending on the presence of the famous package, but its more accomplished performance logically reduces its range. The latter stabilizes between 444 and 518 km with the same battery pack of 90.6 kWh. On the fast charging side, nothing changes from one version to another.
Hyperscreen MBUX
Both models are also entitled to improved air suspensions, not to mention the essential Hyperscreen MBUX system (still optional) and its three screens installed on the dashboard. Voice assistant, remote update, adaptive experience over time: in short, a technological digest signed Mercedes.
For the moment, the German group has not communicated a price or a release date, even if a launch in Europe later in the year seems totally possible.
Mercedes-Benz took advantage of CES 2022 to unveil its Vision EQXX electric concept. This car is supposed to set new benchmarks in fuel efficiency to achieve a real range of over 1000 kilometres.
