The giant panel of screens may overwhelm the interior, but the underlying software is incredibly powerful. It adapts to the driver over time and personalizes suggestions for comfort, vehicle, and infotainment settings, and adapts contextually as it is used. The onboard navigation system is also capable of predictive route planning.
Adding to the powerhouse that is the Mercedes MBUX system for the EQE are AMG-specific functions active in the instrument cluster, as well as the multimedia and head-up display. The key takeaway there is quick access to the AMG Dynamic Select Drive programs, or what everyone else calls the modes and settings, and the styling.
Along with the usual suspects like CarPlay and Android Auto, the AMG EQE features a Dolby Atmos sound system. Sure, the front passenger can watch movies on their screen, but it’s there for surround-sound mix music, and the system sounds fantastic in depth and clarity whether you’re listening to surround-sound music or regular stereo.
There are a few extra AMG-specific features, including the unlikely-to-be-used-properly-by-a-customer AMG Track Pace that Mercedes describes as a “virtual race engineer” that “permanently records more than 80 vehicle-specific data (i.e., speed and acceleration)” as well as lap times.
