The best of conventional engine technology, the latest advances in electric energy, the most fine-tuned understanding of balance and dynamics: Through the knowledge and skill of AMG engineers, these factors are masterfully combined in the Mercedes-AMG E 53 HYBRID. Stronger and faster than its predecessors, and held in balance by exquisitely honed systems, this is innovation in service of driving excitement.

The foundation for the E 53’s power is a 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbocharged engine that yields more power than in preceding models. Add the 120 kW electric motor, and the vehicle becomes a declaration of strength. The electric motor guarantees the instant availability of torque, enabling the E 53 to climb from zero to 60 in 3.7 seconds (with AMG DYNAMIC PLUS package equipped).Disclaimer^[6]A 400-volt, 28.6 kWh battery sits at the rear of the vehicle, allowing for additional reserves of energy in high-performance situations.

To manage all that power, the E 53 HYBRID avails itself of numerous upgrades in design and technology. The body shell has been reinforced, with enhancements to front and rear struts that deliver optimal lateral dynamics, stability and precision. AMG Performance 4MATIC+ offers superb traction, while managing torque between front and rear axles as conditions demand.Disclaimer^[8] The new AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension has been specifically designed and tuned for the E 53’s hybrid system, allowing drivers to adjust between pure electric comfort and edgier performance driving. For even more choice, AMG DYNAMIC SELECT programs offer a range of options, including two specifically developed for the hybrid vehicle: “Electric” and “Battery Hold.” The first allows for pure electric driving, while “Battery Hold” calls on the conventional engine and the hybrid motor as circumstances demand.

To match its no-compromise approach to performance, the E 53 HYBRID flashes its distinctive style. Available as an option, the MBUX Superscreen brings dramatic focus to an interior finished in trim options like gray open-pore ash wood, Nappa leather and red contrast stitching. AMG-specific and hybrid-specific visual displays bring a striking visual presence to the vehicle’s distinctive take on driving.
