All-rounder with performance genes: the new Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV The most versatile model from Affalterbach with a purely battery-electric drive system Affalterbach.
Mercedes-AMG presents the EQE SUV, a further milestone in its electrification strategy – the first all-electric SUV from the performance and sports car brand. With its variable interior and performance-oriented drive concept, it is the most versatile electric vehicle in the Mercedes-AMG portfolio.
The new model also offers generous space for passengers and luggage. Like the AMG EQS Sedan and AMG EQE Sedan, the AMG EQE SUV is based on the electric platform from Mercedes-EQ.
Two powerful electric motors and the fully variable all-wheel drive form the basis for the hallmark AMG dynamic driving experience. Exterior design with characteristic AMG features the exterior design is characterized by generously modelled surfaces, reduced joints and seamless transitions. Dynamic proportions emphasize the sporty character. A new feature is the brand-specific badge on the bonnet with the AMG emblem instead of the Mercedes star. The air diffusers in high-gloss black on the left and right allow the AIR CURTAIN effect, which guides the air around the front wheels in a streamlined manner. The standard DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps feature a specific AMG projection when opening and closing the vehicle. In the side view, AMG-specific wheel arch claddings in the body colour, and the seamlessly integrated, fully recessed door handles add visual accents.
Added to this are aerodynamically optimized 21 or 22-inch AMG light-alloy wheels. The rear apron in the body colour with aerodynamically optimized diffuser and longitudinal fins as well as the tail lights in a helix design round off the dynamic appearance.
Interior design with a particularly sporty touch The interior is also dominated by style-defining AMG features. Here, the new SUV offers a sporty ambience, including seats with individual graphics and special seat covers in ARTICO man-made leather with MICROCUT microfiber and red topstitching. Alternatively, seat upholstery in nappa leather is optionally available, also with AMG-specific seat graphics. Additionally, the AMG badge on the backrests of the front seats and the embossed AMG emblems in the front headrests emphasize the brand’s identity.
The AMG Performance steering wheel, with its striking twin-spoke design and seamlessly integrated buttons, combines visual stability with lightness. The steering wheel rim, which is flattened at the bottom and covered in nappa leather, can be heated as an option. The standard AMG steering wheel buttons impress with brilliant displays. Numerous parameters can be selected directly. The menus on the left steering wheel button can be individually supplemented, exchanged or reduced. For this, there is a list in the Multimedia Touch Display or in the optional Hyperscreen with more than 15 information and setting options as direct selection for the steering wheel buttons.
The new AMG EQE 4MATIC+ can be optionally equipped with the innovative MBUX Hyperscreen. With adaptive software, MBUX completely adapts to its user, and offers personalized suggestions for numerous infotainment, comfort and vehicle functions. With the zero layer, the most important applications are always displayed situationally and contextually on the top level in the field of vision. The Dolby Atmos® sound format takes the audio experience in the EQE SUV to a new level. Individual instruments or voices in the studio mix can be positioned all around the listening area. A new kind of sound animation thus becomes possible; while conventional stereo systems usually have left-right dynamics, Dolby Atmos® can use the entire range and create a 360-degree experience. With the premium digital entertainment platform from Californian specialist ZYNC integrated into a vehicle for the first time, customers can enjoy a seamless digital entertainment experience. Through ZYNC, customers benefit from a wide range of renowned global and local streaming services. This enhances the audio-visual experience, interaction and user-friendliness. ZYNC offers video streaming, on-demand content, interactive experiences, local video programs, sport, news, games, and much more – all via a single user interface.
Performance-oriented drive concept with two electric motors
The new Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV offers a performance-oriented drive concept with two electric motors. The powerful electric powertrain (eATS) with a motor at the front and rear axle also offers a fully variable allwheel drive, which optimally transmits the drive power to the road in all driving conditions. The power in the AMG EQE boasts 505 kW (687 hp) with an optional AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package with Boost function. The maximum torque ranges from 633 lb-ft to 738 lb-ft of torque. The EQE 4MATIC+ SUV uses AMG-specific electric motors with adapted windings, different laminations, higher currents and adapted inverters. This allows higher motor speeds and thus even more power, which is particularly noticeable during acceleration and at top speed.
Added to this is the highly resilient thermal concept, which allows repeated acceleration manoeuvres with consistently high performance. The centrepiece of the sophisticated design is the water lance in the shaft of the rotor, which cools it. Other AMG-specific cooling elements in the cooling circuit include special ribs on the stator and the needle-shaped pin-fin structure on the inverter, which is made of high-performance ceramics. Additionally, there is the transmission oil heat exchanger; in addition to cooling, the oil is also preheated during cold starts to increase efficiency.
Fully variable all-wheel drive AMG Performance 4MATIC+ The power of the engines is brought to the road with AMG Performance 4MATIC+ fully variable all-wheel drive. The vehicle’s system continuously distributes drive torque between the front and rear axles depending on the driving situation. When compared to a mechanical all-wheel drive system, the electric-specific system ensures a significantly faster response. The torque is checked 160 times per second and adjusted if necessary. Furthermore, the torque distribution varies with each selected drive program. AMG RIDE CONTROL+ suspension with Adaptive Damping System The AMG RIDE CONTROL+ suspension with air suspension and Adaptive Damping System is based on a fourlink suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear, each optimized with AMG-specific wheel carriers, suspension links, and anti-roll bars with greater rigidity.
