In a reimagining of the sportiest sedan, the all new Mercedes-AMG E 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+ brings AMG engineering to the E-Class with an innovative hybrid engine, a prestigious and comfortable interior and outstanding driving dynamics. Delivering an exhilarating, powerful ride, the Mercedes-AMG E 53 also prioritises efficiency and comfort, its innovative hybrid technology working together with AMG high-performance know-how.

 

Exterior: A Powerful Stance

 

The expressive design of the Mercedes-AMG E 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+ combines the best of the E-Class with unmistakeable AMG DNA. It starts at the front end – the legendary AMG crest prominent on the hood above the illuminated AMG radiator grille with vertical struts in high-gloss chrome. The sporty performance genes are reinforced by the AMG front apron with A-wing and the distinctively large air inlets. AMG side skirts enhance both aesthetics and aerodynamics. At the rear the AMG apron with diffuser-styling and two round twin-tailpipe trims in high-gloss chrome add to the all-around muscular appearance. Rear lights with an elegant star inlay pay homage to Mercedes-Benz's iconic design language. Wheel options extend up to an impressive 53.3cm (21”).

 

Interior: High-tech Comfort

 

Inside, the E 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+ is evidence of Mercedes-AMG's commitment to technological innovation and driver-centric design. It brings together the sophisticated elegance of the E-Class with the performance and styling of AMG. Contoured sports seats deliver superior comfort and optimum lateral support for dynamic driving. 

 

Driver and central displays along with the latest generation MBUX multimedia system are high-resolution and user-friendly – the driver can monitor route and vehicle performance while conveniently accessing multimedia, driver assistance systems and climate control. AMG-specific display styles and functions are meticulously designed to maximise the vehicle’s performance.

Hybrid Powertrain Blends Performance With Efficiency

 

Powering the E 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+ is an innovative hybrid drivetrain featuring a high-torque in-line 6-cylinder petrol engine supplemented by a 120 kW electric motor. This powertrain fuses together performance and efficiency, leading to a 100 kilometre NEDC tested pure electric driving range. The hybrid system seamlessly integrates electric and combustion power, delivering instantaneous response and impressive fuel economy.

 

The powerful 3.0-litre engine delivers up to 330 kW and 560 Nm of torque, boosted by 480 Nm of torque from the electric motor for instantly accessible acceleration and cruising power on the open road.

 

Spin the drive mode knob on the AMG performance steering wheel and the new Mercedes-AMG E 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+ can be driven electrically and tail pipe emission-free, with a 100 km (NEDC) tested range, thanks to the innovative high-voltage battery. The all new E 53 is equipped with an 11kW onboard AC charger with the option of a 60kW DC fast charger and the capacity for external charging of the battery from 10 to 80 percent in approximately 20 minutes.

 

Steering wheel-mounted shift paddles allow the drive to manually set a recuperation level up to 120kW in four levels, from no noticeable deceleration to almost one-pedal drive, using the accelerator pedal almost exclusively.

 

The Drive: Engineering Excellence

 

The E 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+ blends the well-known long-distance comfort of the E-Class with the agile driving dynamics synonymous with AMG. Key technologies elevate the driving experience to new heights.

 

AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension provides adaptive damping for optimal comfort and performance. The damping on each wheel adapts to the driving situation and road conditions, and can be pre-selected in three levels - Comfort, Sport and Sport+ - enabling a distinction between long-distance comfort and sporty driving dynamics. AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension reduces body pitch and roll in all drive programs and offers both comfortable damping and a firmer set-up for sportier driving.
Rear axle steering offers up to 2.5° steering angle adjustment, enhancing agility and all-round manoeuvrability, while AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G automatic transmission delivers driving pleasure via its dynamic shift characteristics and intermediate throttle function.

 

The Mercedes-AMG E 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+ demonstrates what's possible when engineering passion meets visionary design in a vehicle that channels the legendary comfort of the E-Class with AMG’s performance focus.

 

Stay tuned for updates about the Australian arrival of the dynamic all new Mercedes-AMG E 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+, which blends the best of AMG performance engineering with the comfort and prestige of the E-Class in a powerful new package.
