MERCEDES EQE 53 AMG DRIVING REVIEW - HOW GOOD IS THE AMG EV?

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes EQE 53 AMG is presented as the top-spec performance EV sedan, offering supercar-like acceleration and a dynamic driving experience. The reviewer highlights its aggressive AMG styling, standard air suspension, and rear-axle steering, though notes the latter's limited angle in the AMG version. Performance figures are impressive, with the optional Dynamic Plus package enabling a 0-100 km/h time of 3.3 seconds. However, the vehicle's considerable weight is a recurring theme, impacting agility and making it feel less nimble than lighter sports cars. Interior highlights include the optional MBUX Hyperscreen and quality materials, but the reviewer criticizes the reliance on capacitive controls for volume and other functions. Practicality is a mixed bag, with decent rear passenger space but a limited 430-liter trunk. Real-world range is estimated around 400-500 km in summer, dropping to 250-400 km in winter due to the lack of a heat pump. The reviewer concludes that while the EQE 53 AMG delivers thrilling acceleration and a sporty feel, the significant weight and the diminishing difference between performance and standard EV models for AMG are notable drawbacks.
