Mercedes-Benz USA Unveils On-Demand Performance Boost for EQE and EQS Models

Updated: May 14, 2023


EQS Models Mercedes


Mercedes-Benz now offers an Acceleration Increase option for EQE 350 4MATIC and EQS 450 4MATIC Sedan and SUV customers in North America. This performance boost, available for both a one-time purchase for the vehicle's lifetime or as a flexible monthly or yearly subscription, increases the horsepower by up to 80 and reduces 0-60 mph acceleration time by up to one second.


The Acceleration Increase upgrade is now available to Mercedes-Benz EQE and EQS customers in the U.S. and Canada. The upgrade can be implemented as an Over-the-Air (OTA) update, enhancing the vehicle's power output by up to 80 hp and significantly improving acceleration times. The Mercedes me connect Store offers these upgrades either as a one-time purchase, valid for the vehicle's lifetime, or as flexible monthly and yearly subscription options.


Specifically, eligible EQE models can enjoy a performance boost from 288 hp to 348 hp, reducing acceleration times from 0 to 60 mph by up to a second. Select EQS models can benefit from an extra 80 hp, totaling 435 hp, and achieving remarkable 0-60 mph acceleration times of as little as 4.5 seconds. Importantly, these performance enhancements don't affect the vehicles' electric range.


The Mercedes me connect Store allows customers to download the Acceleration Increase directly to their vehicle, eliminating the need for a dealership visit.


In addition to Acceleration Increase, the Mercedes me connect Store offers a range of other On-Demand upgrades for a wide variety of models. These include Beginner Driver and Valet Service Modes, AMG TRACK PACE, Navigation and expanded Navigation features, Remote Engine Start, and more, enabling customers to tailor their vehicle to their evolving needs and preferences. The store will continue to introduce new offerings in the coming months.


The Mercedes me connect Store operates on a straightforward, customer-centric, and highly flexible basis. Standard hardwired features, such as heated seats, will not be offered as digital extras. While monthly and yearly subscriptions provide flexibility, customers also have the option to purchase an On-Demand feature for their vehicle's lifetime.
