2023 Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 4MATIC+

A heavyweight wades into battle for EV sedan supremacy with up to 687 horsepower (505 kW), 1000 Nm (737 lb-ft) of torque, and all-wheel-drive

Don’t stop reading if you’ve heard this one before: a tuning company modifies a luxury sedan from a large, legendary German automaker. This time, however, the tuner is Mercedes-AMG—might have heard of ‘em? Formula 1 World Constructors’ Champions, eight years running.

The fuel? Electricity. If this is the first real generation of mass-produced electric sport sedan from an established automaker…the next decades will be over in a blink.

It’s a strong start: up to 687 horsepower (505 kW) and 1000 Nm (737 lb-ft) of torque, this Mercedes-AMG actually applies some unique thinking to EV speed.
