Mercedes-Benz EQE and EQS customers in the North America can now opt for 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 60 mph by as much as a full second. These enhancements are achieved without impacting the vehicles’ electric range.

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 monthly and yearly options.

Acceleration Increase is offered exclusively to Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 4MATIC and EQS 450 4MATIC Sedan and SUV customers in the US and Canada. On eligible EQE models, it boosts output from 288 hp to 348 hp—a 60 hp increase (21%)—to deliver up to 1.0 second quicker acceleration from 0 to 60 mph (SUV).

Applicable EQS models receive an additional 80 hp (22.5%) for a total output of 435 hp, enabling 0-60 mph acceleration in as little as 4.5 seconds (Sedan).

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

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, AMG TRACK PACE, Navigation and expanded Navigation features, Remote Engine Start, and more. 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 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.
