Mercedes-AMG EQE electric sedan, with 518km of range, goes official
German automaker Mercedes-Benz has revealed the AMG iteration of its EQE electric sedan. It will be up for grabs in the US early next year. As for the highlights, the four-wheeler has an aggressive design and a luxurious cabin loaded with tech-based features. It runs on an electric powertrain and promises a range of up to 518km on a single charge.
Why does this story matter?
The Mercedes-AMG EQE offers better looks, more features, and an improved suspension as compared to the standard EQE sedan. It is likely to attract a lot of buyers in the international markets. The four-wheeler takes on rivals such as the Tesla Model S, BMW i4 M50, and Porsche Taycan. If it arrives in India, the competition in the electric four-wheeler segment will be raised.
The car has multi-spoke wheels and a full-width taillamp
The Mercedes-AMG EQE has a sloping roofline, a sculpted hood, a black panel with AMG badging and vertical bars, a blacked-out front splitter, large air vents, and swept-back headlights. On the sides, it is flanked by black-colored B-pillars, door-mounted ORVMs, and multi-spoke wheels. A diffuser, a decklid spoiler, and a full-width taillamp grace the rear end of the four-wheeler.
The sedan gets a sunroof and flat-bottom steering wheel
The Mercedes-AMG EQE has a luxurious 5-seater cabin, featuring a sunroof, sport seats, a center console that divides the driver and passenger areas, contrasting red accents, circular AC vents, and a flat-bottom multifunctional steering wheel. It houses an MBUX Hyperscreen with support for the latest connectivity options. A set of artificial sounds called AMG Sound Experience and multiple airbags are also available.
It has a top-speed of 240km/h with optional package
The EQE packs two motors, a 90.6-kWh battery, and a 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system. The setup puts out 617hp/950Nm and allows the vehicle to sprint from 0-97km/h in 3.4 seconds, and hit a top-speed of 220.5km/h. The optional Dynamic Plus package raises the output to 677hp/1,001Nm and the top-speed to 240km/h. AMG Ride Control+ system, adaptive adjustable dampers, and rear-axle steering ensure better performance.
Mercedes-AMG EQE: Pricing
Details related to the pricing and availability of the Mercedes-AMG EQE will be revealed at the time of its launch. However, in the US, the car is expected to sport a price-figure of around $90,000 (roughly Rs. 67.7 lakh).
