The Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 4MATIC+ gets our pick for Electric Luxury Sedan of 2024.
Embodying the pinnacle of electric luxury performance, the Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 4MATIC+ has captured the hearts of our judges and deservedly wins the Electric Luxury Sedan award. Last year, the base EQE 350+ won this accolade as it presented a well-balanced premium package. This year, the EQE 53 4MATIC+ takes that winning formula and pushes it to new heights in terms of performance while still retaining the special sauce that sets it apart from your non-premium electric sedans.
With its potent dual-motor setup producing an electrifying 677 horsepower and 858 lb-ft of torque, the Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 4MATIC+ offers blistering acceleration, rocketing from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds. Yet, this exhilarating performance doesn’t come at the cost of range anxiety, as the 90.6 kWh battery pack provides an impressive range.
Beyond its electrifying performance, the EQE 53 4MATIC+ embodies Mercedes-Benz’s commitment to luxury and sophistication. The interior cocoons occupants in a meticulously crafted sanctuary, with premium materials, cutting-edge technology, and an unwavering attention to detail. The latest MBUX infotainment system with its augmented reality head-up display and Hey Mercedes voice assistant elevates the in-car experience to new heights.
Externally, the EQE 53 4MATIC+ exudes a sleek and elegant presence, with its smooth, aerodynamic lines and distinctive Mercedes-AMG styling cues. The electric luxury sedan seamlessly blends performance and design, creating a package that is as visually striking as it is exhilarating to drive.
