1. Exceptional AMG performance: Delivering up to 687 horsepower with 0-100km/h acceleration in just 3.5 seconds, featuring all-wheel drive and rear-axle steering for potent power delivery and precise handling.
2. Luxurious interior and technological features: Crafted with leather, Alcantara suede and carbon fibre, featuring the AMG-exclusive interface, Virtual Race Engineer and Active Ambient Lighting. Optional 17.7-inch MBUX Hyperscreen delivers an immersive luxury cabin experience.
3. Comprehensive Driving Assistance Imaging Systems: Standard equipment includes a reversing camera, 360° surround view, and transparent view, providing thorough visual support to enhance driving safety and convenience.

1. Range and energy efficiency are relatively conservative: The CLTC range of 490km falls below some competitors in the same class; energy consumption stands at 21kWh per 100km, indicating room for improvement in efficiency performance.
2. Charging efficiency requires improvement: Slow charging takes up to 13 hours, which is relatively lengthy among the three competitors, resulting in merely adequate overall energy replenishment efficiency.
3. Intelligent experience and cabin comfort offer room for optimisation: The infotainment system's operational logic is rather complex with deep menu hierarchies; rear seat backrest angles are somewhat upright, potentially affecting comfort for taller passengers.

Competitive Comparison

1. Range and Energy Efficiency: The CLTC range stands at 490km, falling short of the Model X (700km) and Eletre (650km), while being comparable to the BMW iX (471km). Electricity consumption stands at 21kWh per 100km, higher than the other three models (Model X: 16.5kWh, iX: 17.7kWh, Eletre: 19.8kWh), indicating room for improvement in energy efficiency.
2. Charging Performance: Fast-charging time of 0.58 hours outperforms the Model X (1 hour) and BMW iX (0.68 hours), though slower than the Eletre (0.33 hours). Slow-charging time of 13 hours is relatively lengthy among the three competitors, resulting in overall charging efficiency that is merely adequate.
3. Power Performance: Maximum power output of 460kW, trailing only the Model X (493kW) and Eletre (450kW), while surpassing the BMW iX (240kW). Top speed of 220km/h falls below the Model X (240km/h) and Eletre (258km/h), but outperforms the BMW iX (200km/h), aligning with its AMG performance positioning.
4. Space and Practicality: Dimensions of 4880×2032×1672mm place it mid-range in length and width among the four models. Boot capacity ranges from 520 to 1675 litres. While its expandable space falls short of the Model X (1050-2410 litres) and BMW iX (500-1750 litres), it shares a distinct focus with the Eletre (688-1532 litres).
5. Technology features: Equipped with a reversing camera, 360° surround view, and transparent view technology, the imaging systems are comprehensively configured. This matches the Eletre's specification and surpasses the Model X (which only offers a reversing camera and blind-spot monitoring) and the BMW iX (which does not specify transparent view capability).
6. Comfort Features: Highlights include electrically adjustable front seats and a panoramic sunroof. Five USB/Type-C ports (three front, two rear) match the Model X and Eletre but fall short of the BMW iX's seven ports.

Real-world Review

1. Exceptional power delivery with twin electric motors delivering up to 626 horsepower, achieving 0-100km/h acceleration in approximately 3.5 seconds.
2. Equipped with an AMG-specific cooling system and rear-wheel active steering, balancing high-performance output with precise handling.

1. The vehicle's substantial weight means there remains scope for optimising body roll control and steering precision during spirited driving.
2. The infotainment system's operating logic is rather complex, with deep menu hierarchies that compromise user convenience.

1. All-scenario high-performance capability: Whether accelerating from a standstill in urban traffic, overtaking on motorways, or navigating mountain bends, its AMG powertrain (e.g., the EQE 53 model achieves 0-100km/h in approximately 3.5 seconds) and adaptive suspension deliver a potent yet agile driving experience, balancing comfort and sportiness.
2. Exceptional Adaptability and Practicality: Boasting reliable range capability (WLTP approx. 470–488km) and rapid charging support (80% charge in 31 minutes), it confidently navigates challenging conditions including snow and heavy rain through its all-wheel drive system, multiple driving modes, and substantial ground clearance.

Real User Reviews

Positive Feedback

Outstanding driving refinement and luxury feel

1. "The chassis is first-rate, delivering a driving experience remarkably close to that of a petrol car. Its dynamic tuning is virtually flawless, with a substantial, substantial feel to the suspension that makes for a supremely comfortable ride."
2. "The luxurious ambience is masterfully crafted, exuding quintessential Mercedes-Benz character. The overall sense of quiet refinement within the cabin is truly impressive – one must acknowledge that such depth of refinement comes only with the heritage of an established marque."

Reliable and dependable range

1. "The display shows a solid dynamic range, delivering exactly what it promises."
2. "Easily covers over 600 kilometres. For users like us who commute daily and occasionally take weekend road trips, it significantly reduces the psychological burden."

Negative Feedback

Smart features and in-car experience are generally average.

1. "The level of vehicle intelligence still lags considerably behind domestic brands."
2. "The infotainment system is somewhat weaker, with the voice recognition occasionally producing amusing glitches."

There are shortcomings in ride comfort and space design.

1. "The rear seat backrest is too upright, compromising passenger comfort."
2. "The rear legroom is indeed tight (at 185cm tall, with the front seats adjusted properly, I only have a little over a fist's width of space in the back – rather cramped)."
