Description:
Full power is available for short periods of time and only with launch control.<br/><br/>The next AMG to feature a charging port will be the new Mercedes E-Class in the '53' version, available in both sedan and wagon body styles. While electrification usually comes with a downsized combustion engine, that's not the case here. Not only does this AMG Lite version still have the inline-six engine, but the 3.0-litre petrol mill also produces more power than before.<br/><br/>While the old AMG E53 had an output of 429 hp, the model that replaced it had the turbocharged six-cylinder engine massaged to produce 443 hp. The internal combustion engine now works together with a 161 hp electric motor, providing a total system output of 577 hp. When Race Start is activated, which is marketing jargon for launch control, total power temporarily rises to 603 hp. You get a massive torque boost of 553 lb-ft (750 Nm), where the previous model had to make do with 384 lb-ft (520 Nm).<br/><br/>This provides enough electric muscle for the sedan to go from 0 to 60 mph (100 km/h) in 3.8 seconds, while the slightly heavier wagon takes an extra 0.1 second. Both are electronically limited to 250 km/h (155 mph), but the optional AMG Driver's Package puts the limiter at 280 km/h (174 mph) for the sedan and 275 km/h (171 mph) for the long-roof model. sa) loosens it to . . When running solely on electricity, the new E53 models reach speeds of up to 140 km/h (87 mph).<br/><br/>The sedan and SUV duo follows the latest GLE 53 in adopting the plug-in hybrid setup. A battery pack with a usable capacity of 21.22 kWh is mounted under the boot floor. Mercedes claims it's enough to cover more than 62 miles (100 kilometers) without sipping any gas. The battery pack supplies its energy to an e-motor built into the nine-speed automatic transmission to save space.<br/><br/>Compared to the non-AMG E-Class, the '53' has a stiffer body, larger brakes and standard rear-wheel steering. The fully variable AWD system is combined with adaptive suspension with variable damping. The sporty E gets a slightly more aggressive design with wider front fenders, an illuminated grille-like grille and round quad exhaust tips. Interestingly, the front axle is slightly wider than in the regular E-Class.<br/><br/>Since the AMG E53 Coupe and AMG E53 Convertible will not come back with the new generation, Mercedes is not planning two-door versions. However, the luxury German brand is replacing these cars with new CLE53 models. These also have inline-six engines but are not plug-in hybrids.<br/><br/>A new E63 is also coming and it is also expected to have a charging port. Unfortunately, the powerful V8 is being phased out to make way for the inline-six. The four-cylinder C63 and V8-powered S63 have already been electrified; This shows that the days of AMG performance cars with pure internal combustion engines are numbered.<br/><br/>Source: https://www.motor1.com/news/711875/2025-amg-e53-debut-specs/
