Powertrain Performance:

At the heart of the E 53 HYBRID lies a meticulously engineered powertrain, combining a 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line engine with a 120-kW electric motor integrated into the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission. This fusion yields a staggering maximum system output of 430 kW (585 HP), or an impressive 450 kW (612 HP) during RACE START, with a peak torque of 750 Nm. The result? Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 3.8 seconds, showcasing the dynamic prowess of this saloon and estate hybrid. Moreover, with a top speed electronically capped at 280 km/h, the E 53 HYBRID delivers an exhilarating driving experience synonymous with the AMG legacy.

Electric Capabilities:

Elevating its eco-conscious credentials, the E 53 HYBRID boasts an electric range of over 100 kilometers, setting a new benchmark for plug-in hybrid vehicles. A 28.6 kWh traction battery, nestled discreetly beneath the trunk floor, powers the electric motor, providing seamless transitions between electric and combustion modes. Furthermore, advanced recuperation technology allows for efficient energy regeneration, while multiple charging options, including an onboard 11 kW AC charger and optional 60 kW DC fast charger, ensure flexibility and convenience for drivers.

Design and Dynamics:

Externally, the E 53 HYBRID exudes the unmistakable aura of an AMG masterpiece. Signature design elements, such as the illuminated radiator trim and distinctive front apron, underscore its performance pedigree, while exclusive badges hint at its electrified capabilities. Inside, the cabin exudes luxury and sophistication, with illuminated trim, Nappa leather upholstery, and cutting-edge MBUX Superscreen technology providing a seamless blend of comfort and connectivity.

Driving Dynamics:

Beyond its striking aesthetics, the E 53 HYBRID delivers a driving experience unparalleled in its class. Equipped with fully variable all-wheel drive and AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension, it strikes the perfect balance between agility and stability, offering precise handling and supreme comfort in equal measure. Additionally, AMG DYNAMIC SELECT driving programs, including hybrid-specific modes like "Electric" and "Battery Hold," empower drivers to tailor their experience to their preferences and driving conditions.

Exclusive Edition 1:

For those seeking the pinnacle of exclusivity, the E 53 HYBRID is available in an exclusive "Edition 1" variant. Featuring bespoke exterior enhancements, such as matte black forged wheels and carbon fiber accents, as well as a luxurious interior adorned with black Nappa leather and yellow stitching, this limited edition model epitomizes sophistication and style.
