Video Summary
Here is a summary of the YouTube video:- The new Mercedes AMG EQE53 is the second high-performance electric car from AMG.
- The design is almost exactly the same as the normal AMG Line version of the regular EQE, with some differences in the blanked-off grill. The AMG version has vertical chrome bars instead of the 3-pointed star pattern of the base model.
- Aside from some new alloy wheels, the exterior is nearly identical to the regular car. The back does look a bit different with thicker black trim around the license plate, and some new vents.
- Interior upgrades include more supportive seats with AMG logos on the headrests, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and specific menus with racier graphics. The Hyperscreen infotainment system is still an optional upgrade.
- The new AMG EQE comes in two versions: the AMG 43 and the faster AMG 53. The dual motors give the 43 476 hp and 858 Nm of torque, reaching 60mph in 4.2 seconds.
- The AMG EQE 53 uses motors developed specifically for the AMG version and can crank out 626 hp and 950 Nm of torque, reaching 60mph in 3.5 seconds.
- The car also has a AMG Dynamic Plus pack with upgrades that boost the motor to 687 hp and 1000 Nm of torque. The speed boost goes to 3.3 seconds.
- The upgraded brakes at the front are six-piston calipers and massive 415-millimeter disks. Carbon ceramic brakes are available, but require 21-inch rims.
- The normal rear-wheel drive EQE comes with a 90 kWh battery with a range of 410 miles. The all-wheel-drive AMG versions use a 90 kWh battery but get less range. The AMG 43 gets around 331 miles of range while the 53 gets around 322.
- Both cars can charge at the same 170kW as the normal EQE, getting around 110 miles of range from a 15-minute charge.
- It has an adaptive suspension, can be made stiffer and leaner in corners, and the stability control system is used with more power in the rear wheels to make the cars feel nimble.
- The AMG EQE also has a cooling system and ceramic fins on the electric inverters to make the car handle better than most electric vehicles and stop overheating.
- The EQE has not gone on sale yet, but the entry level is expected to start at about 60,000 pounds. The AMG 43 may cost around 80,000 pounds and the 53 can surpass 100,000 pounds.
