The EQE 350 4MATIC is strong, smooth, quiet, and rich in torque, powered by a strong dual electric motor with 215 kW total output that can distribute up to 288 horsepower and 564 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels.
The “permanently excited synchronous motors” PSM, features permanent magnets to generate AC current with high power density and efficiency. An advanced cooling system helps maintain their high-performance consistency during spirited driving and a wide range of climates.

Smart ECO Assist feature
The ECO Assist system can intelligently process data from the vehicle’s driving assistance and navigation systems to help you maximize your efficiency and energy recuperation from braking or coasting. Using GPS and map data, topography, traffic, and the detection of nearby vehicles via radar and the stereo camera, ECO Assist can optimize energy recovery to the situation, and also allow pure one-pedal driving in some conditions.
Interior
Some of the physical details of the car that help make up its clean look are the interior. One of this car’s awesome features is the dashboard of the car. The dashboard consists of a natural grain black linden modern wood look, which is a very nice addition to the car.
This new sedan looks very advanced and modern with its large flat touch screen. It includes multiple features like changing the ambient colors of the car, controlling the climate, radio, and music, and more basic controls that are easy to access on this large and clear bright touchscreen.
