THE EQE IS THE E-CLASS RE-IMAGINED FOR THE 21ST CENTURY | MERCEDES AMG EQE SEDAN REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes-AMG EQE Sedan is presented as the 21st-century reimagining of the E-Class, built on a dedicated EV platform rather than an adapted ICE one. The reviewer highlights its impressive acceleration, with the AMG model achieving 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds (potentially faster with the performance pack). Handling is praised for its grip and composure, thanks to wide tires and a low center of gravity, though it's noted that the E63's superior nimbleness in direction changes is attributed to its lower weight. The interior offers a traditional Mercedes luxury feel with ample wood trim and ambient lighting, though rear headroom is slightly compromised by the aerodynamic design. Charging speeds are considered middling, with Level 2 topping out at just over 9.6 kW and DC fast charging peaking at 170 kW. While it doesn't fully replicate the E63's raw mechanical feel, the EQE AMG offers a distinct, exhilarating EV driving experience that the reviewer deems a solid AMG product and a compelling alternative to its gasoline counterpart, even suggesting it's a better buy than a Tesla Model S.
