With its AMG-specific electric motors, the 2023 Mercedes-AMG EQE delivers eye-opening specs. It churns out a mighty 617 hp and 701 lb-ft of torque. When equipped with the Dynamic Plus package, the output is even higher, with 677 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque.
For acceleration, the AMG EQE can go from 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds for the base model and 3.2 seconds with the Dynamic Plus package. The EV sports sedan can reach an electronically-limited top speed of either 137 or 149 mph.
With electric motors at the front and rear, the AMG EQE is an all-wheel drive car. All AMG EQE models have an air suspension, which is stiffer compared to the standard EQE model.
