The Mercedes EQE AMG 43 of the first generation is an all-wheel-drive electric sedan, and the way its gearing divides torque between the axles is worth explaining first.

Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
Not provided
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
AWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
Not provided
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry

Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry

Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
476 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
350 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
With all-wheel drive, torque reaches both axles through fixed reduction gearing rather than a set of shiftable ratios. A reduction ratio multiplies the torque arriving at the wheels while proportionally lowering their speed; it redistributes what the motor already produces instead of adding power.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
An all-wheel-drive label says which axles receive drive, not how the automatic transmission and control software split it. Behaviour at the grip limit depends on that distribution strategy, suspension geometry and tyres, none of which the drivetrain designation itself describes.
Body and Practicality
Exterior dimensions describe the space a sedan occupies; what a driver actually sees depends on glass area, pillar thickness and the height of the window line. A long body can still offer a narrow rearward view through its sloping backlight.
