Mercedes-Benz EQE and EQS customers in North America can now opt for even more performance with the new Acceleration Increase On-Demand upgrade for select Sedan and SUV models. Optionally available as an Over-the-Air update, this new feature raises the vehicle's output by up to 80 hp and improves acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h by up to a full second. It is available to customers in the Mercedes me connect Store with the option of a one-time purchase for the lifetime of the vehicle or the flexibility of a yearly subscription model. A monthly option will be available in Canada as of Q3 2023.

Acceleration Increase is offered exclusively to Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 4MATIC and EQS 450 4MATIC Sedan and SUV customers in the U.S. and Canada. On eligible EQE models, it boosts output from 288 hp to 348 hp – a 60 hp increase – to deliver 1.0 second quicker acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h. Applicable EQS models receive an additional 80 hp for a total output of 435 hp, enabling impressive 0-100 km/h acceleration in as little as 4.8 seconds (Sedan). These enhancements are achieved without impacting the vehicles' electric range.

Customers can experience this elevated performance by downloading Acceleration Increase to their vehicle in the Mercedes me connect Store online. The Over-the-Air (OTA) integration allows this to be accomplished without requiring a trip to a dealership.

The Mercedes me connect Store

A variety of other On-Demand enhancements are available for a broad range of models in the Mercedes me connect Store, providing customers with the ability to upgrade their SUV or car at any time to meet ever-changing individual needs and preferences. These include Beginner Driver and Valet Service Modes, Navigation and expanded Navigation features, AMG TRACK PACE, and more, as well as bundled services available through the Connect+ package. More offerings will launch in the Mercedes me connect Store continuously in the months ahead.

The Mercedes me connect Store follows a simple, personalized and highly flexible offering logic. Hardwired, standard features, such as heated seats, will not be offered as On-Demand digital extras. While Mercedes-Benz offers total flexibility with monthly and yearly subscription options, customers can also choose to purchase an On-Demand feature for the life of their vehicle.
