MERCEDES' EQE IS THE E-CLASS OF THE FUTURE | 2023 MERCEDES-AMG EQE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Mercedes-AMG EQE is presented as a distinct electric reimagining of the E-Class, offering AMG-level performance in a dedicated EV platform. The reviewer highlights its "mind-warping acceleration" and "fantastic handling," noting a 0-60 mph time of 3.2 seconds (or 2.9 with the performance pack) and impressive grip thanks to wide tires and a low center of gravity. While it achieves better skidpad numbers than the gasoline E63, its heavier mass makes it slightly less nimble in directional changes. The ride quality is praised for its comfort, even in aggressive modes, though larger bumps can intrude more than in a standard E-Class. The interior is lauded for its premium materials and ambient lighting, but the infotainment system is deemed less intuitive than competitors. Charging speeds are considered middling, with Level 2 topping out at 9.6 kW and DC fast charging peaking at 170 kW, slower than some rivals like the Genesis G80 Electrified. Ultimately, the reviewer considers the AMG EQE a "solid AMG" and one of the best EVs driven, offering a compelling blend of traditional Mercedes luxury, EV thrust, and performance, even suggesting it's a value alternative to the E63 AMG.
