Yahoo Autos Mercedes-Benz EQE and EQS want to sell you an over-the-air horsepower bump
Mercedes-Benz is leveraging its over-the-air software updating system to beam more power to the sedan and SUV variants of the EQE and EQS. The update is compatible with the EQE 350 4Matic and EQS 450 4Matic models, and owners can either purchase it or subscribe to it.
While technical details about the update haven't been released, we know that there are no mechanical modifications involved. It's all in the software. The company explains that the Acceleration Increase upgrade adjusts the motor characteristic curve, resulting in more horsepower and more torque regardless of the driving mode selected. It sounds similar to the factory-backed software tunes offered by some tuners.
