Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+
Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 120.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 107.8 kWh, with a 12.2 kWh buffer (10.2%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 396 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the maximum rated range is 570 km (354 miles). Depending on the configuration and options such as wheel size, the rated range can be as low as 513 km (319 miles). Larger wheels generally increase energy consumption and reduce range.
WLTP energy consumption is 18.9 kWh/100 km for the base configuration and 21.0 kWh/100 km for the highest-consumption configuration.
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 210 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 83 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 30 minutes at an average power of 150 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 1–56%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 139 kW over a session lasting about 26 minutes and 33 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 25.2 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 23 minutes, needing two charging stops from 1% to 68%, totaling 63 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 22 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 4 hours and 53 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
Charge Port
The location of the charge port is on the right rear side. This placement makes it easy to use charging stations that require backing up to connect.
Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
Drivetrain
The Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+ features an all-wheel drive system powered by two motors, one on each axle.
The motors used are Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors.
Suspension
The Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+ features a multilink front and rear suspension, both equipped with electronically controlled dampers and air springs for enhanced ride quality and adaptability.
The suspension is fully adaptive on the front and rear axle, so height and damping can be adjusted manually and automatically.
The minimum ground clearance is 82 mm, and the maximum is 127 mm.
The Active Suspension keeps the car's body nearly horizontal during braking, steering, and acceleration.
Normally, cars lean outward in corners. However, the active cornering dynamics can counteract this roll, or even overcompensate, making the car lean into bends like a motorcycle.
The Easy Entry function raises the car's body automatically when a door is opened, facilitating easier entry and exit. Once the door closes, the body returns to its previous level.
Steering
Progressive steering is standard on the Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+. It adjusts the steering ratio according to vehicle speed.
In addition, rear-wheel steering is optional, reducing the turning circle at low speeds.
Drive Modes
The Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+ lets the user select different drive modes that affect the car's handling.
The driver can choose between 5 modes:
- Eco: Comfort steering and efficient throttle.
- Comfort: Balanced steering and throttle.
- Sport: Dynamic steering and throttle.
- Sport+: Dynamic steering and maximum throttle.
- Individual: Custom steering and throttle.
Brakes
You can choose between different brake systems.
The Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+ is equipped with cast-iron disc brakes on both the front and rear.
The front discs measure 415 mm, while the rear discs are 378 mm.
Brake option one uses ceramic discs.
The front discs measure 440 mm, while the rear discs are 378 mm.
Regenerative Braking
The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.
Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.
Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.
Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator, choosing between three levels.
The maximum regenerative braking power is 300 kW.
Exterior
The Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+, with dimensions of 5223 mm in length, 1926 mm in width, and 1520 mm in height, falls into the F-segment, also known as luxury cars.
The Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+ offers a selection of 11 paint colors, featuring solid, metallic, and matte options. Alongside the standard palette, exclusive colors are available from the 'MANUFAKTUR' palette.
The True is available with the optional **AMG Night Package**, adding dark chrome and black accents to the exterior for a more aggressive look.
The Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+ offers multiple wheel options in different sizes. The available tire and wheel combinations include:
- 265/40 tires on 21" rims front and 295/35 tires on 21" rims rear
- 265/35 tires on 22" rims front and 295/30 tires on 22" rims rear
Narrower wheels reduce energy consumption and can increase range, while wider wheels can improve traction and handling.
The car has four regular doors and a liftgate, which makes the trunk much more usable compared to a traditional bootlid, especially for a sedan.
The power liftgate includes hands-free opening by foot gesture as standard.
There are two different roof options to select from.
A conventional roof is standard.
As an option, you can order this model with a panoramic roof. The glass has two panels. One over the first and the second rows, and occupants can open the front part. This glass creates a more spacious and bright interior. Both glass panels have an electric curtain that occupants can use to protect against the sun.
Privacy glass from the B-pillar rearward is optional. It reduces glare and solar heat.
