The all new Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 4MATIC+ SUV marks a significant new chapter in the evolution of high-performance electric vehicles. It seamlessly combines the brand's racing heritage with cutting-edge EV technology, offering a compelling proposition for drivers looking for a blend of performance, space and efficiency. 

 

Elegant and athletic

 

With its commanding presence and powerful stance, the AMG EQE 53 SUV certainly leaves a lasting impression. From all angles, the SUV’s muscular proportions and sculpted surfaces convey elegance and athleticism.

 

The vehicle displays its aerodynamic efficiency and sporty origins proudly. Red brake callipers on the 22-inch, AMG multi-spoke light-alloy wheels hint at its athletic prowess, while an AMG-specific Black Panel radiator grille with chrome vertical struts creates an imposing, distinctive face. 

 

The exterior is complemented by the AMG Night Package. High-gloss black elements contrast against the vehicle's sleek silhouette, with a reflector strip across the front giving the car a futuristic appearance.

 

Step into comfort

 

Inside, the AMG EQE 53 SUV delivers on the elevated experience its striking exterior promises. Balancing sportiness with opulence, technology with comfort, the cabin is a sanctuary for drivers and passengers alike. 

 

The MBUX Hyperscreen, which stretches across the dashboard, creating a seamless, high-tech cockpit from A-pillar to A-pillar, is now standard on the Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 SUV. This impressive digital interface serves as the vehicle’s command centre; a map can take over the entire screen, and functions can be controlled by a voice assistant.

 

For longer drives and road trips, storage space is superb. In the cabin, a deep centre console incorporates cupholders and a wireless charging pad, with a shelf underneath for a handbag.

 

Rear passengers travel in comfort with fold-down armrests, pop-out cup holders, climate controls and superior noise insulation. Even while driving the car in one of the performance modes on the open highway, wind and road noise are kept to a minimum for a serene interior environment.

 

Quick, powerful, agile

 

Settling into the comfort of the AMG driver’s seat and pressing the start button, the car springs to life with a subtle hum and a futuristic sound signature.

 

Instant acceleration is a hallmark of electric performance, but in this vehicle, it’s a uniquely engaging experience. Acceleration is smooth and linear, and the AMG EQE 53 SUV is remarkably quick for its size – made even more so by the optional AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package. Not only does this package boost the car’s already impressive output of up to 505kW and 1000Nm, it also adds an extra 20km/h to its top speed and allows it to sprint from 0-100km/h in 3.5 seconds.

 

In urban environments, the SUV feels surprisingly agile, while its precise steering and compact turning circle make it easy to manoeuvre through tight spaces.

On the open road, the AMG-tuned air suspension provides a drive that's firm yet compliant, soaking up bumps in the road without fully isolating the driver from the feel of the tarmac. The car's low centre of gravity and advanced 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system provide exceptional grip and stability around the bends.

 

Switching to Sport mode transforms the car's character. The throttle response sharpens, the steering weights up, and the optional AMG Sound Experience intensifies. In this mode, the SUV feels more dynamic, responding sharply to the driver’s inputs. The transition from moderate to high speeds is seamless, with the electric powertrain delivering a constant surge of power that is unexpected for a vehicle of this size.

 

For the ultimate AMG experience, shifting to Sport+ mode unleashes the SUV’s full potential. With the optional AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package, Sport+ activates the RACE START function and brings the car’s AMG heritage to the fore. The suspension firms up further, minimising body roll and maximising road contact. 

 

Adapts to the everyday

 

The duality of this vehicle means it can easily switch between high-performance sports car and family-friendly SUV. 

 

No matter what mode you’re driving in, the AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL constantly adapts the suspension to road surfaces and driving conditions, while braking remains natural and responsive, bringing the car assured stop. 

 

With an NEDC-tested range of 485km, the AMG EQE 53 SUV is as suited to longer trips as it is day-to-day driving. Plus, the advanced battery management system and regenerative braking technology help to maximise efficiency without compromising on the AMG driving experience. 

 

When it comes time to recharge, the AMG EQE 53 SUV supports fast charging, allowing for quick top-ups during long journeys. Mercedes me Charge gives you access to hundreds of selected fast charging stations in Australia and conveniently displays the nearest one in your vehicle via MBUX or the Mercedes me App on your smartphone.

 

 
A compelling blend of elegance, state-of-the-art technology and pure power, the AMG EQE 53 SUV represents an exciting step into the future and is a major addition to the Mercedes-AMG all-electric SUV segment.
