Mercedes-AMG E 53 HYBRID Sedan
The AMG E-Class has long served as a standard-bearer of performance innovation, not just for the racing-bred cars from Affalterbach but among all automobiles. The legacy advances anew in a sedan that is quite literally a technological tour de force.
A race that knows no finish line.
In an old mill in 1967, two engineers with a passion for motorsports began turning Mercedes-Benz sedans into winning racecars. Today, AMG continues to create victory on the track and desire on the streets of the world. Every Mercedes-AMG vehicle is the product of craftsmen, designers, engineers and racers who live for a singular goal: Driving Performance.
Born to perform, developed to outperform
A Mercedes-AMG engine starts with the state of the art. Everything from fuel pressure to exhaust routing is developed to quicken, heighten and intensify its response, and yours. From patented processes to cut friction to a new generation of electrified performance, AMG technology is fueled by its racing success.
Technology accelerates tradition
The natural balance of an inline-6 joins forces with a twin-scroll turbo and hybrid electric motor to generate 577 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. In standard form, the AMG-enhanced powerplant can deliver 60 mph in 3.9 seconds. With the AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package, a 604-hp burst can cut that to 3.7 seconds. Disclaimer[4]
A plug for performance
The P2 Performance Hybrid System integrates a 161-hp electric motor with the transmission. High power density can deliver 354 lb-ft of torque from the first rev, or up to 42 miles of gas-free driving. Onboard or plug-in charging, or regenerative braking, can replenish the 400-volt battery under the trunk. Disclaimer[5]
Geared to go
The AMG SPEEDSHIFT® TCT 9G transmission's talents match its range of speeds. Along with nine speeds, multiple modes via AMG DYNAMIC SELECT, and paddle-shifted manual control, three overdrive ratios offer efficient cruising.
Power to the pavement
AMG Performance 4MATIC+ fully variable all-wheel drive can precisely apportion torque between the front and rear axles. From takeoff grip to powering out of corners, tenacity and technology turn brute power into poised handling. Disclaimer[6]
Innovative investments in core values
Technological advancements elevate the natural abilities of the E 53 HYBRID to deliver a more rewarding sense of engagement. Its body strength is reinforced. Its chassis is tuned and tightened. The result is response that's not merely sharpened, but polished.
Turns sharp into smooth
AMG RIDE CONTROL has been developed for the E 53 HYBRID for agile dynamics and to capitalize on inherent refinement of electrified driving. Along with a widened front track, multimode adaptive damping can further hone its handling.
Turns geometry into gymnastics
Standard rear-axle steering can tighten the low-speed turning radius by steering the rear wheels up to 2.5° opposite the fronts. At higher speeds, turning in phase with the front wheels can offer quicker, more stable lane changes. Disclaimer[6]
A mode for every driving mood
AMG DYNAMIC SELECT lets you fine-tune the powertrain, chassis and more with a single tap. Along with modes from Comfort to Sport+, two hybrid-specific programs can optimize battery charge or offer swift, near-silent electric takeoffs.
A suite of performance perks
With dynamic engine mounts, composite brakes with red calipers, and an electronic limited-slip diff, the AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package can enhance launches, turns and stops. RACE START's 604-hp burst can shave 0.2 seconds off a 0-60 run. Disclaimer[4] Disclaimer[7]
Control in your hands
Capacitive touch buttons on the twin spokes of the AMG Performance steering wheel put cockpit features at your thumbs. Shift paddles and the AMG DRIVE UNIT keep power and performance settings at hand, too. The wheel is wrapped in Nappa leather, with microfiber and carbon-style trim optional.
Confidence at your feet
AMG high-performance brakes feature perforated 14.6-inch front discs with silver 4-piston calipers. The AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package upsizes them to 15.4 inches, six pistons and racy red paint. An intelligent booster seamlessly integrates electric recuperation. Disclaimer[8]
Finely tuned, finely tailored
Depth of character rises to every surface of the AMG E 53 HYBRID. From touchscreen menus that can intelligently elevate relevant commands, to exquisitely crafted touchpoints, there's clarity in every connection.
Visual meets visceral
Dual standard digital displays include a reconfigurable instrument cluster with AMG-specific performance readouts. The MBUX Superscreen Package adds a front passenger display plus a selfie/video camera. Disclaimer[9] Disclaimer[10]
Sumptuous and supportive
Power front sport seats are sculpted with deep bolsters. You can further opt for the precisely personalized support of multicontour adjustment, or the racing-inspired embrace of AMG Performance seats.
Intriguing and indulgent
Exclusive AMG interior appointments include distinctively tailored microfiber and Nappa leathers. Bespoke trims include standard Natural Grain Grey Ash wood set aglow by a backlit AMG logo, and the option of genuine carbon fiber.
Elements of expression
Details further define the muscular E 53 HYBRID's physique. Two AMG Night Packages cloak various body elements in gloss black. A rear lip spoiler is available painted to match the car or as part of a suite of carbon fiber accents.
Style and substance
AMG® wheels are available in a variety of designs and colors. Standard fitment is a staggered-width 20-inch design, while lightweight forged 21-inch wheels are available in silver or black. Disclaimer[11] Disclaimer[12]
