The EQE 350+ generates 288 horsepower (215 kilowatts) and 391 pound-feet (530 Newton-meters) of torque. Adding 4Matic all-wheel drive to the 350 boosts its torque to 564 lb-ft (764 Nm) while power remains unchanged. The 500 4Matic gets a twin-motor powertrain that produces 402 hp (300 kW) and 633 lb-ft (858 Nm) of torque. All three configurations return times of 6.2, 6.0 and 4.5 0-60 mph. Mercedes manufactures a 90.6 kilowatt-hour battery standard and the electric vehicle has an EPA-estimated range of up to 305 miles (490 kilometers).
Months after the introduction of the EQE sedan, the automaker launched the powerful AMG variant. Mercedes hasn’t released pricing or availability information for the model, but we know it will deliver up to 677 hp (504 kW) and 738 lb-ft (1,001 Nm). Its regular output is 617 hp (460 kW) and 701 lb-ft (950 Nm). It can hit 60 mph in around 3.2 seconds.
The EQE will be the last Mercedes EV to hit the market. The company says the car will hit US dealerships this fall, which is right now. Winter officially arrives on December 21, so keep an eye out for the new EQE in showrooms.
