The #MercedesAMG #E53 has had me very excited since the first look, because AMG didn’t hold back. It’s an absolutely gorgeous car with a wide, unique body like an E63 and features a 6-cylinder hybrid setup that might just make it the best AMG daily driver we can hope to own!
The #AMG E53 is powered by the typical setup most new performance cars are getting these days: a combustion engine, an electric motor, and a battery pack, giving a total output of 612BHP. The 6-cylinder is the new 3.0-litre M256M inline six-cylinder turbo engine, producing 450HP by itself, with a new electric compressor providing more boost pressure.
The hybrid system includes a permanently excited motor inside the transmission with 135HP more power and 480 Nm of torque, and a 28 kW battery with a usable capacity of 21 kW. This brings the total to 585BHP, 612 on Race Start, with 750NM and a 0-60 time of 3.8 seconds. With the AMG Dynamic Plus Pack on Race Start, it’s the same power as the previous generation E63!
But what about the weight? The car weighs 2.4 tonnes thanks to the hybrid system, compared to the E63 at only 1990kg. We will go over what this means for the power to weight ratio.
The benefit of that system is the battery, providing up to 100km all-electric range, making it viable for daily use.
The E53 features AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension with a wide track, sporty spring/damper setup, and two-valve damping at each wheel and finally AMG speed-sensitive steering and rear axle steering up to 2.5 degrees enhance handling. Let’s see how it handles today.
Pricing for the UK is £90,860 for the base model, £96,860 for the Premium Plus, and £115,860 for the Edition 1. The AMG Performance Package, costing £7,495, adds bucket seats, a carbon steering wheel, and the all important dynamic plus pack. How will this pricing work versus the upcoming new M5? Will be interesting to see.
Today we will do the full first drive, including first impressions, a launch control, exhaust sound, the hybrid system: and more! Let’s see how this AMG daily car stands up!

@@G82WattsI’ve been saying the same thing when people compare the X6 to the GLE Coupe. The GLE looks like a blob on wheels that can topple at any second while the X6 looks much more menacing and muscular in comparison. It doesn’t help that the X6 is cheaper and outperforms it.
I've put an order on an estate with the dynamic plus package and some other additional stuff and honestly cant wait for it to be delivered. I see plenty of people saying that the straight six engine is too small, but very few seems to understand that It's not supposed to be the equivalent of e63, and in fact it does follow the same principle on which the previous e53' were build on - to be a fast and luxurious daily cars, and thats exactly why Im buying one.

Great Review! Many thanks! This makes the waiting time a bit more easier 😁
Hoping amg bring the v8
The first Eclass wagon that actually looks beautiful! ❤❤❤
Thanks a lot for this video. This one is really the one for me this year. If you ever get a chance to drive one without the dynamics plus package please consider making a review for that. For me personally it’s the E-class first and foremost and AMG is a bonus. And when you get the dynamics plus package you have to get the uncomfortable performance seats (at least in the UK) so it’s a deal breaker for me personally. Also, I’m not a big fan of the Night package 2 which again is not optional in the UK with the dynamics plus package. So I’m spec-ing my car without that and very much interested in a review.

The 4 cylinder is not crappy. It's just not what we want in any AMG 63s C class and above. Crappy would suggest the engine is no good. But anyone who knows about that engine knows how good it is. So, don't be disparaging the engine because Merc chose to put it in the C63s

The wagon
I really like this car!
Good review. Just wondering why he blurs the gauge cluster?
Is the emotion start (pulling gear shift Paddel while starting the car) still possible? Just to make sure I can still annoy my neighbors with this car 😉
I rarely saw the outgoing / pre facelift E around here in the PNW USA. Though I did see one this week lol. But I think I like this styling better.
We need the E 63!
We need that brown interior in the CLE 63 🙏🏽
This is cute. I wonder what the AMG version will be like
Looks stunning, especially in wagon form. Heavy but assume they push the hybrid stuff for company car tax reasons (as well as power)?
I’m not sure if I like the head lights and the tail lights of this gen e class ..overall though I think it looks better than the new 5series
As a BMW fanboy, I hate how good this E-class, and E53 specifically, look compared to the G60 5-series 😢 Though I guess I should reserve judgment until next Wednesday’s G90 M5 sedan reveal

Not a huge fan of the rear tail lights, front end is OK. But, really think they coulda figures out something better w the rear lights, possibly fronts aswell. Still Sick nonetheless, love the E class. The wagon, looks absolutely insane! love it!
Wow this is very impressive. Can't imagine how much better the new E63S will be!!! When is the E63s release date?
Fingers crossed that you're posting a 2025 cayenne gts review soon!
The taillights featured on the E class will actually be on the next update for the S class. Kinda sad it’ll be the “same sausage different length “ again.
Daaaamn! That's a clean Infiniti Q50RS!
I like this engine, at least it's not a 4cyl
Tail lights are diabolical
I think AMG CLE53's exhaust sound better than E53, it has more pop & bang sound.

I saw that without choosing the superscreen you can still get carbon and it will take up the blank dashboard space! But I did wish Mercedes would return to trim pieces on the door panels..such wasted free real estate for what could be a cool and quality looking door panel to make the carbon more worth it.
Front just like BMW 5 series with 3 pointed star. rear.. Audi A5.. with Merc logo..
Beautiful car
sorry but previous version was not 5.3 0-60, it was closer to 4.3 for the sedan, I draggy my E53 wagon at 4.56 seconds.
Animal that
Probably the right compromise, in terms of being a daily driver AMG-lite model. Its fast, its reasonably practical, its got decent electric range, and it has good dynamics. But why are all modern Mercedes so heavy? Even without the hybrid stuff, they're all heavier than their predecessors... If Mercedes do bother making a V8 E63, it should be 1800kg or less. I don't understand why the C43 for example, weighs 1850kg, when the preceding C43 weighed 1705kg. Where has all the weight come from? Even the GT. If Mercedes found a way to lop off 250kg from all their current cars, the work they've put into dynamics would make them even MORE dynamic than they are.

Way too heavy which is a shame, should be 2t max. AMG really has a weight issue atm, I know that they have trick suspension blah blah blah but weight is weight. Everything will wear quicker, particularly tyres and suspension components. I hope the new E63 is not above 2t.
Why you putting this car in the m5 league? SMH you should be talking about the m50 5 series
I think the car overall looks good. The taillights are a bit weird and the illuminated grill is some stupid tesla shit. But the car is appealing. On the inside really miss the long screen (2 screens behind one glass piece), which was found in the previous E-Class. Also the seats look in every new Mercedes Model except the S-Class a bit cheap (I am talking about the normal seats, not the bucket ones). And wtf is the straight 6 engine, this isn’t t a M4 (no hate against that car). The Amg E-Class only deserves a good sounding V8! I think nowadays the people who make the decisions at Mercedes Benz aren’t worthy or even a disgrace to the star emblem. What a shame.

Nice car but never liked the anus star tail lights. Normally the tail lights are designed purposely for the LED, but these looks like a cheap Amazon aftertought.
This car does not look elegant like the E classes of the past. Tail lights are super tacky, headlights are weird looking and are connected to the grille like in the EQ models, fake engine noise, fake plastic "light" between tail lights and don't even get me started on the fake cheap looking plastic vent above front fender. AMG made a transition to being led by corporate drones instead of enthusiasts. I think the lack of any real special editions of the last V8 powered C class speaks for it more than anything else.

Like the S63 AMG, a transcontinental supercar fast sedan is IRRELEVANT if it can’t carry a decent volume of luggage plus the usual additional shopping extra luggage extra need. Surely great fun, yet USELESS in the grand scheme of things. If you want to go fast across continents you by a proper two door GT and add a cargo swallowing fast SUV on the side for family/partners traveling. If you can’t afford multiple cars: get a fast SUV; you’ll get a Swiss knife carrying, worst case scenario, 50% more cargo, and possibly 100% more. The current AMG sedans - except the wagon - are a lot of uselessness for sale. If I want a useless but fun car, I don’t need 4 doors and no trunk space. If I want a transcontinental sedan I’d go for the S8 (fast, bigger, decent trunk), or the RS6. And I’m not even an Audi fan. It’s lust basic logic. The S63 and E53 are great for those dreaming about it while they know they will never actually buy it I think. It’s a fantasy no one actually needs.
