More than 70 grand under the previous E63
The Mercedes-AMG E53 sits at the top of the E-class food chain, even surpassing the previous generation E63 in terms of power. Yet it is significantly less expensive.
Mercedes-AMG has a taste for plug-ins and is increasingly giving more and more sporty cars partly electric power. Think of the exceptionally powerful C63, but of course also the E Performance versions of the SL63 and AMG GT 63. The new Mercedes-AMG E53 happily participates, although not with the addition of E Performance, but as a Mercedes-AMG E53 Hybrid 4Matic+. The plug-in hybrid drivetrain, with a 3.0 inline six-cylinder as the beating heart, delivers up to 612 hp system power and in that respect already surpasses the E63 of the previous generation. Thanks to its partly electric drivetrain, it is significantly less affected by the BPM. sample here in the Netherlands and so the price is a lot more favorable than that of the E63. Even compared to the previous E53, the gap is large.
The new Mercedes-AMG E53 will be available from €113,671, which is about €18,000 less than the previous one and even more than 70 grand less than the E63 of the previous generation. The differences are comparable with the E53 Estate, which is available from €116,268. However, you can immediately increase the price considerably by going for the Edition 1. It costs at least €150,241 and comes with numerous black stickers and black accents, as well as 21-inch matte black alloy wheels, tinted glass, various carbon fiber parts and AMG Performance seats and steering wheel. The AMG Dynamic Plus package is also available, including powerful composite brakes, an electronically controlled differential lock and dynamic engine mounts. You can order immediately.
