There’s still work to accomplish, but AMG's EQE makes big strides toward fully rounded electric-car performance.
The raw accelerative capability of modern electric cars is widely known at this point, and although that type of performance is more than enough fun for many people, some buyers still desire more than a futuristic muscle car. When it comes time to make an electric car go around a corner like a sports car, that's where we usually find trouble.
The electric car's prodigious weight may have been abated in steady-state cornering, but in a dynamic test like our figure-eight course with acceleration, braking, and turning in both directions, it reared its head. Here, the 2023 Mercedes-AMG EQE luxury sedan managed a quite good 23.8-second lap at 0.83 g average, but that wasn't good enough to beat the AMG E63 S, which laid down a slightly quicker 23.6-second lap at 0.87 g average.
Data sheets are cold comfort when you're hurtling down a winding road at speed. Knowing the 2023 AMG EQE sedan can stop on a dime and pull substantial lateral g isn't the same as feeling confident finding out for yourself when your inner ear tells you this car is heavy and needs to be treated as such.
Not helping matters is the obnoxious moving brake pedal. We've yet to meet anyone who likes finding this pedal at a different distance every time you use it, and we wish we could disable the system—especially when driving quickly on a good road. We're at least happy to report the blending of the electrical and mechanical braking systems is quite good, so you get consistent stopping power regardless of which system is engaged and by how much.
