Motor: Single RWD (350+) vs Dual AWD (350/500 4MATIC)
The EQE SUV is available in several configurations. In India, the EQE 500 4MATIC is the primary offering, utilizing dual motors to produce 402–408 bhp and a massive 858 Nm of torque. The entry-level EQE 350+ uses a single rear-mounted motor producing 288–292 bhp. The 4MATIC system features a "Disconnect Unit" (DCU) that can automatically decouple the front motor when not needed to improve energy efficiency.
Acceleration and Speed: 0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds
The EQE 500 4MATIC is impressively quick for its size, reaching 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. The single-motor 350+ variant completes the same sprint in approximately 6.4 seconds. To preserve battery life and range, the top speed for the standard SUV variants is electronically capped at 210 km/h.
