Driving Tech Guide: What is Mercedes EQ Boost? | Driving.ca

[@MMLL369]

What I love about my 2019 CLS 450 with EQBoost is, the gliding function in ECO mode, which basically puts the car in neutral gear with engine switched off when accelerator is lifted off when travelling on relatively flat surface.

I own a '22 S500 and I am very pleased with the performance and acceleration of the I6 turbo electric. Power of a v8 but smooth as silk. So glad I put the extra $ into options rather than the v8. I had forgotten how silky smooth an I-6 can be with it's natural balance.

A balanced retort to the green left from the engineers here.

[@MJH211]

love this engine in my cls450. Has so much power that the terrible run flat tires cant put it down from start. Cant wait to get rid of them and see what this car can really do.

[@aingham99]

Brilliant explanation, thanks so much.😊

[@BigGuy10Points]

This is super cool however why not use the exhaust to spine a turbo connected to a power generator. Vs using the gasoline engine 100% of the time to power the electrics

[@ZakElbas]

Thank you for the video. What was your fuel consumption compared to the EPA? Thank you

[@patreilly4293]

Hello Do you know if the 300d and 220d versions are equiped with the exact OM 654 M engine or if there are some differences (turbocharging, injectors …) except from the calculator programmation ? Thank you !

[@athletc793]

please tell me, what kind of fuel do you use?

[@kiddt1999]

If the eq boost system fails, the vehice will still drive correct??

[@moosejaw50]

The core components of the EQ system are the 48V battery and 48V motor/generator. The engine starts with the 48V motor/generator. The AC Compressor & Water Pump run on 48V. So any major fault will prevent an engine start. You may have dash lights/messages from the 12V battery but the vehicle will not run.

[@kiddt1999]

@@moosejaw50 that is interesting.

[@middleearthtroll6183]

Great in theory, but nothing but problems. My E53 coupe has been in the shop more than it's been on the road. Trading back down, for a GLC43 without this 48V battery crap

[@aminemezzour8403]

Hm.. i had the same issue with the new GLC with 48V tech, sometime just completely shuts down and not starting. Did they take back your E53?

[@middleearthtroll6183]

@@aminemezzour8403 they ended up replacing the 48v battery, took 10 days. I also ended up picking up a 2019 glc43 AMG, fully loaded with every option black/black so I'm happy with that. No 48v battery, and the twin turbo v6 is a fun drive.
