687hp AMG EQE 53 - BMW iX M60 killer?

.............................................................
Mat’s managed to get his hands on the all-new Mercedes EQE SUV!

That’s right, the EQS SUV’s baby brother is finally here, and we’ve got access to the hot AMG version. In this video, Mat’s going to find out if this car has what it takes to compete with the BMW iX.

This new car may look an awful lot like the EQS SUV, however there are some differences which mark it out. The EQE SUV is smaller and more boxy looking, and it’s got a sporty edge over its larger stablemate. It looks smart, if a bit nondescript. The AMG model gets some tasty upgrades to help combat this, including a deeper front bumper with additional spoilers, as well as 21-inch wheels as standard.

Things get a lot more exciting when you step inside, with the Mercedes Hyperscreen dominating the cabin. This optional setup includes a 12.3-inch drivers display, a huge 17.7-inch central touchscreen and a 12.3-inch passenger display. The AMG version also gets unique graphics for the infotainment, as well as body-hugging sports seats.

Standard versions of the EQE SUV are available with either rear or all-wheel-drive and up to 550km of range Mercedes hasn’t announced power figures for this car yet, however you can expect them to be similar to the EQE saloon. The AMG version gets all-wheel-drive as standard, and up to a whopping 677hp.

Prices for the new EQE SUV haven’t been announced yet, however you can expect it to cost around £10,000 more than the EQE saloon. Question is, which would you have? Stick with Mat to find out all you need to know about this car.

Would you rather have the Mercedes AMG EQE SUV or the Tesla Model Y Performance? VOTE BELOW!

Mat has some really big balls to criticise a company's product right in front of their face and asking them questions.

[minigator]

The journalism quality of this channel is really better than most. Matt isn’t afraid to have stances and be honest about brands. I think that could even be why brands will want to work with him more

[AR-zrom]

I love how you call out bad design. Most people suck up to the designers but they need to hear this stuff

[burezuitto]

People are commenting about Mat being ballsy, critical and honest, but to me it’s amazing how charismatic he is throughout this interaction with cringe corporate German guys, and how he manages to put them at ease a little and get them laughing, while keeping us entertained while these cars are being presented. I would have just cringed so hard in his place but he keeps it all flowing nicely. One of the best car reviewers ever hands down.

[BlackFragFilms]

I wonder how Mat keeps getting invited to these press releases even though he holds absolutely no punches when talking about the negative aspects. Seeing these company representatives getting grilled is gold content (even though all those guys always seem like nice people).

[skzqfjx]

Love how Mat is grilling those Mercedes guys.

[tsint]

Haha I love when Matt is messing around with German car representatives :)

[primuspilusfellatus]

The way he confronted the merc rep with the lack of a front trunk was brutal. Stuff like that makes this channel a league above its competitors

[melsyoutube]

i hope mat never leaves this company. he’s so charismatic and witty so all his combative questions never come across too harsh! he gets to the point while still being personable. such a skilled presenter. shoutout to timo for being a good sport!

[DoubleDeckerAnton]

Matt is bold and knows what hes talking about. Hes like a modern day Jeremy Clarkson.

[ThunderTiger]

I can imagine these car manufacturer employees are playing rock paper scissors with each other to decide who is the unlucky one and has to show Matt a new car 😂😂

[chartreux]

Respect to Timo for being a Good Sport and not being super serious like we Germans can sometimes be!
Happy to see you covering this one Matt! Here in Germany you already see more electric Mercedes, BMWs and Audis than you see any Tesla.
Kinda proves that Range and 0-60 Time (Tesla) isn't a Top Priority to People regarding EVs

[goonzjav]

Mercedes really allowing Mat to get close and they really going along with the humour Mat brings. Big kudos to them and Carwow.

[wavyjuicehq]

“you see these power domes?”

“you mean these creases here? 😂😂😂 love this guy

[mboshu]

Mat is a car reviewer I would definitely trust when recommending me a car to get

[TechWithShon]

Lol I like the fact that Matt calls out anything infront of the manufacturers

[Arpedk]

12:40, YES THEY DO. Model Y comes with a massive HEPA filter just like this EQE and also Model S/X have it!

[gavriushka]

I love Mat and how he just does not give a damn about their opinion on what customers want, as he looks at it straight as a customer. Electric car with no front trunk, in a car for 100+ grand US yet no electric seat drops in the trunk, no seat adjustment in the second row, really quite a few features that people buying an SUV would actually want, are missing here, and he just rips into them for it. Love it! Keep it up Mat!

[Phonothek]

I as a german love matts honest and critiqual questions and remarks!
