This is the far we have been fearing, the day #MercedesAMG ventures into fully Electric “performance luxury cars” — a new phrase that they now describe themselves with.

The base EQS is a distance and range monster, with the EQS 450+ that we tested, covering well over 400 miles real world range. It also had a fantastic sound generation system to make the drive more emotional, and truly drove like an S-Class #EV.

The EQS 53 is a different animal, more about performance. Unlike the measly 333BHP of the 450, this car has 658BHP and 950NM from 2 electric motors and fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive.

Get AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package, and in RACE START mode with Boost function you get up to 762 hp and 1020Nm — and a launch of 3.4 seconds (80% state-of-charge). Stay to see what the normal car does on launch. BUT the range takes a hit, with just 360miles claimed, and the reality being less as you’ll see.

AMG have changed quite a bit, and I’ll show you everything. Such as the AMG specific electric motors which are slightly larger, have Special windings, laminations, higher currents/ raised limits, AMG's own control & Higher motor speeds
Further water lance cooling for high load capacity and multiple accelerations with consistently high performance.A Transmission oil cooler, which is also more efficient during cold driving and an Inverter with high-performance ceramics.

AMG Performance 4MATIC+ is at the center, with a continuously variable drive torque distribution checked 10,000 times per minute.

Air suspension is via AMG RIDE CONTROL+ with adaptive adjustable damping, and as in the AMG GT 4-Door Coupé, two pressure limiting valves continuously allow the damping force to be adjusted depending on drive modes. And finally Rear-axle steering is standard. Brakes feature AMG-specific i-Booster - which combines electric recuperation and hydraulic braking during deceleration and is optimised for AMG pedal feel.

The car has unique AMG modes too, with five AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive modes – modifying parameters such as the drive, output, suspension, steering, AMG Dynamics and AMG SOUND EXPERIENCE.

The standard fit AMG SOUND EXPERIENCE "Authentic" uses (special loudspeakers, shakers, sound generator) to generate the typical AMG drive sounds - wait till you see the launch control with ambient lighting!

But will it all be enough to differentiate from the normal EQS, or cars like the Taycan? Let’s find out!
