Mercedes-Benz EQ Performance Features

What makes Mercedes-Benz EQ models so attractive? A vehicle like the 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQS succeeds because its performance is indistinguishable from its gasoline-powered counterparts. Mercedes-Benz of Los Angeles is taking a moment to recap some of these EVs’ best performance features.

Full Power, Instantly

Gasoline engines have a torque curve whereby peak output is delivered within a narrow RPM range. Some engines (like those in Mercedes-Benz cars) flatten the curve but still aren’t immune to the laws of physics. However, if you’re driving an electric vehicle, you’ll find that EVs’ torque is fully available instantly, ensuring excellent acceleration even from a dead stop and better use of every bit of horsepower.

Four-Wheel Independent Suspension

SUVs especially benefit from a robust suspension system. EVs like the Mercedes-Benz EQB offer four-wheel independent suspension for improved articulation and better response on practically every terrain. Small details like these ensure that Mercedes-Benz EQ models’ performance is just as robust as that of their gas counterparts.

Advanced Torque Vectoring

A vehicle with 4MATIC® All-Wheel Drive doesn’t always need full power to every wheel. On ice, slippery surfaces, or mud, sending power to a wheel with insufficient traction is counterproductive. That’s why torque-vectoring brakes work with the Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) to route power where needed most, keeping your steering and handling precise.

Long Driving Ranges and Short Charging Times

No matter which Mercedes-Benz EQ model you choose, you’re going to love its driving range. Take the 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQS, for example; the sedan can take you up to 352 miles, and the SUV has a range of 305 miles. That’s sufficient range for a road trip, but if your travels take you farther, you can charge the battery from 10 percent to 80 percent in around 30 minutes using a Level 3 DC Fast Charger.
