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!
