Mercedes EQE 43 AMG 1000 km challenge

[@zmatuzalem2009]

I am interested in the EQE 350+ test

[@toofastborjy1986]

Maybe the eqe 350+, that I have tested 2 weeks ago will set a new record.... Can't wait to see that test in the channel!

[@scf_suedbaden6656]

if you get an EQS 450+ in your hands for this test, you will have a new record car in your list :)

[@Frosticus453]

Or a lucid, or a new model s LR. The fact that it is held by a model 3 LR despite 800v monsters with bigger batteries and a hwy gear like the Taycan running it slower in favorable weather conditions is impressive.

[@Karjis]

In big norwegian range test this summer EQS 450+ had just slighly better range (620km vs 596km) than 580 4 Matic so the difference might not be that big. For some reason 450+ (12.8% under wltp) underperformed much more compared to WLTP than 580 4Matic (7.88% under wltp). Speed and weather was the same for both models.

[@nakfan]

The rolling / drivetrain resistance is higher than the best AWD EVs out there. It could be the AMG drawback (wider and sportler tires, powerful brakes and motors)

[@mrdeeds83]

Never, have I heard: "double saussage penetration" in ANY car review. Bjørn, you crack me up man! Keep up the good work!

[@christianurban]

That car is just awesome! And if you really value range, you can always chose the RWD configuration.

[@TravelwithPavel]

It sucks that RWD version has only that basic interior as in C class, not this nice big screen.

This summer I traveled with my Mercedes EQE43 AMG on my vacation between Switzerland and Portugal, covering 5,440 km, with average temperatures of 25°, and I was always able to achieve an average of 22.1 kW in comfort mode.

[@DES0MX0]

@Bjorn - great result for the EQE! BUT This calls for the BMW i4 e40 or M50 retest, preferably with 18 or 19 wheels... confident it can beat the EQE as it charges over 210kw and ramps up super fast, and consumption is

@@DES0MX0 do you like it? I test drove the m50 and it was very jerky. Did thst happen to you in the beginning?

[@DES0MX0]

@@HanYou2 yep. I even sold my 2022 M3P - had both for a couple of weeks and in the end chose to stick with the M50. The ride quality and the quietness of the car is just very good. It’s jerky when full throttle due to torque steer on the front wheels - this goes away if you drive in eco pro mode or comfort. In sport boost it gives so much power (and a lot on the front wheels, that it starts to torque steer and the steering wheel must be held real firm or the cars nose starts to drift around erratically.)

[@HanYou2]

@@DES0MX0 thanks so much for the feedback. I think the 40 will not have this issue then. That's the model im looking to get

[@virtualcircuit]

Hi Bjorn, i drive across Europe from the UK on a regular basis in an EQE. The best thing is the efficiency at high speed. You can sit at 150km/h and only use a bit extra energy before arriving at the next charge stop. Between that and the excellent cruise control it eats up the miles. I went skiiing twice this winter both 2500km journeys and it was so easy its almost unbelievable how fresh you arrive at your destination.

[@sebastianpfennig1672]

Super interesting and entertainig video again (like all 1000km challenges ;) ) The only thing I missed this time was the consumption numbers for the separate stretches

[@johnminshall242]

Mercedes need to make a traditional estate version of the EQE, preferably in ‘entry/LR’ spec. That will address the space issues and affordability, and also help appease current E Class owners.

[@marcelbeaucamp9330]

I am curious about the i4 result! 😎 As usual Björn, great video. It will be Stuttgart vs Munich.

[@ghp0518]

I think he tested an i4 M50 which got 10h:10min but at lower temperatures

[@marcelbeaucamp9330]

Did you list the options of your test car in one of your EQE videos Bjorn? It would be extremely interesting what is standard and what is an option for everybody. For example the laggy "Hyperscreen" is a 8.568,00 € option in Germany for the 43 AMG version, Head-up-Display is 1.297,10 €.

Great review of a real good car - even if I don't like the exterior that much - but compared...it´s quite good. If Björn will make reviews in the future in Germany, he can also test high speed efficiency :)

High speed efficiency you can easily calculate from 90 and 120km/h tests.

[@bavariancarenthusiast2722]

@@idarborlaug Hi Idar, you cannot - there are some surprising results if you make high speed tests. F.e. can be an EV very efficient with 120/kmh but will totally lose it going faster - like 180 / 200 / 220 Nobody else does this kind of tests

the routeplanning of that hyperscreen is hyper-bad. Estimating 28% but then arriving with 2%, maybe if the car was 600kg lighter it would've been accurate.

Charging speed is dissapointing, efficiency also. Looks are really good! I'll leave the software judgement to you. First estimate was 28% battery upon arrival, actually was 2%. Nothing beats the Teslas after all

I heard in another review that this car doesn't have a heat pump. Is that true? I find it hard to imagine.

[@bjornnyland]

Yes

[@moritzregis5935]

I don‘t understand how the EQE can be as fast as the e-tron GT even though consumption is higher and avg. charging speed much lower

[@Karjis]

Higher average driving speed explains the consumption and the faster overall speed. Like Björn said the e-tron was tested on different route only inside norway with lower speed limit.

[@bjornnyland]

e-tron GT had to stop after 293 km whereas EQE went 361 km on the first leg. To make matters worse, e-tron was getting only 132 kW on that charging stop.

Is there any reason why Mercedes EQC can not charge at same speeds as EQS or EQE? Thought it was all roughly the same hardware. Hurts to be stuck at 105 in my EQC.

[@scf_suedbaden6656]

The EQC is build on the EVA I platform which is the predecessor of the EVA II platform where EQE and EQS are build on. So the hardware is roughly 3 years older. But be happy with your 105 kW, I’m stuck on 50 kW with my i3 ;)

[@tesla-spectre]

Slower than the Model 3 LR but in any case not comparable. different type, people who go for this would never consider a Model 3 LR. Needs to be compared to a fair price competitor and ao far there is only Model S and that is not in Europe yet as a new version. Once it is there that is the benchmark. EQS competes with Taycan, Etron GT and Model S Plaid I would say. I was disappointed when I looked at the EQE here in Prague: in everything considerably worse than the EQS and to me far overpriced esp once you spec it to include reasonable extras. But it is good that we get more and more different EVs and as long as people like them and buy them it is always better than any petrol burning ICE

@@ahpadt nope that is a myth... I looked at it and it seemed wayyyy below mine and esp the new normal C Class. And lightyears away from the stunning interior of the EQS. but that is only my opinion.
