Mercedes EQE 53 4Matic+ range test

[@fleixfire6641]

The reason for the lower consumption for the EQS is because it has a lower drag coefficient than the EQE, and that’s because the longer back-end on the EQS reduces turbulence more than the EQE

[@jkev1425]

Drag coefficient ist as important as frontal area. If the EQS is 1cm wider it increases the wind resistance as well. It's the same factor. A * dragC. Is the EQS wider or higher then EQE? 🤔

[@fleixfire6641]

@@jkev1425 The EQS is 35mm slimmer in the front than the EQE and the same height with around a half meter more in length

[@jkev1425]

@@fleixfire6641 Thanks for checking!

[@ani_b]

@Fleix yes absolutely right! The longer, smoother back end is one of the biggest parts for reducing turbulence and hence reducing drag. The EQXX is a case in point, with the retractable "wing".

[@CulturedThugPoster]

Bjork had to weigh the EQS fully charged to see how much all those electrons weighed.

[@RobertPuklin]

I like: - interior build quality, materials, haptic - streamlined aero with a large battery for great highway range - suspension, NVH insulation - sound system and effects Dislike: - missing heatpump - missing (motorized) frunk - no real 1-pedal driving, regen resets on each drive - capacitive buttons (steering wheel, main panel, seat buttons) - hatch opening

[@chrischild3667]

Battery temperature gauges should be standard on all cars. I see why they aren't. But they should be!

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes, normally the #EQE53AMG is running staggered with 295/30 21" at the back.

[@OverlordActual]

I hope one day Tesla shows as much energy usage information as Mercedes does. It's just fun to see.

[@jkev1425]

The latest update shows really everything in Tesla energy consumption.

[@OverlordActual]

@@jkev1425 I'm on FSD Beta so hopefully I'll see that new energy app soon. But I mean like the current energy usage from the motors, battery voltage, if one motor is being used or both etc. The really fine grain stuff. Again would just be nice. Not necessary to get that detailed but I would appreciate it.

[@jkev1425]

@@OverlordActual Ahh okay - with "Scan my Tesla" you have access to nearly everything in the car. Torque on steering wheel, %breake pedal pressed, watt used from heatpump. I usually use it to know my battery temperature and whether I need heat it by driving faster. Everything else is a toy if you not use it like Björn every day for testing purpose in my opinion.

[@danieleriksson8685]

The reason for higher consumtion is that AMG models has different battery Managment and components that priorities performance and multiple laps on a race track to low consumption.

[@Alexander-ig6jm]

EQS 580 4MATIC has a quoted weight of 2620kg vs. 2525kg for the AMG EQE 53+ this means the EQS has 3.8% higher mass and rolling resistance assuming roughly equal friction coefficients for the tires (which is probably not true here since you drove one on Goodyear Eagle F1 and the other on Continental VCZ). EQS 580 has a cd = 0.2 and a cross-sectional area (new German word for you "Stirnfläche") of 2.51m^2 whereas the EQE 53+ has cd = 0.22 and an (estimated) cross sectional area of 2.48m^2 which means that at the same speed and in the same environment the EQS experiences 8% less drag. At 90kph-120kph importance of drag and rolling resistance are about equal which means that drag advantage of the EQS overcompensates for its weight disadvantage. If you would compare range at city-speed, the EQE would probably get better than the EQS since here rolling resistance is more important. Of course there may also be secondary effects like differences in power consumption of subsystems of the vehicle, differences in options etc.

How do you find the suspension and dampening in the EQE compared to EQS? In this video mainly highway and parking is viewed but do you find any differences between these two models so far?

[@bjornnyland]

EQE is tighter than EQS

[@Alberto-mq7gw]

@@bjornnyland EQE AMG is tighter than EQS non AMG. Otherwise they should be the same (when both on air suspension, which is optional in the EQE non AMG versions).

[@nathanwolf5547]

Ionity in the UK is expensive. @69p/kWh for a slower charge.

[@chrischild3667]

Ionity is a subscription model, like Tesla. 69p is one of the unit rates, yes. Its the guest rate so is highest. If you're a subscriber, or own a car manufactured by an Ionity partner, then you have access to significantly lower prices.

[@TheKnutselaar]

Nice boat

[@ericvet8b]

Do you think Bjorn is more comfortable than rear wheel drive one? As AMG maybe suspension is better? Seats? Acoustic glass?

[@trackevs7873]

Any ideas on idle power consumption in park mode? On a Tesla 300W or above is not uncommon as the car scavenges heat.

[@Air-ic279]

AMG EQE has a spoiler at the back so less aerodynamic. EQS is longer: "Länge läuft!"

[@Bud_Terence]

EQS has better aerodynamics, thats why it is more efficient than EQE. But for nordic countries it has a big disadvantage in comparsion to other EVs, no Heatpump😌 ... Seems like the Engineers in Stuttgart called it a day after finishing the aerodynamics, and went home. Or, they had no more spaceleft under the hood, bec. of monstruous Hepa-Filter. 🤣

Motor and engine are two different things - hope Mercedes also realizes this one day

[@EinzigfreierName]

I don't see the difference in this context. Every motor is an engine but not every engine is a motor. So as long as we are talking about an electric motor the term "engine" can be used as well. At least that's my understanding. But I'm not a native english speaker so take this with a grain of salt :)

It probably comes down to what is available in the press pool for Bjorn. and it comes down to profit margins for the manufacturers. Higher end models just rake it more money per unit, which is important to the makers since the supply is constrained.
