As the Mercedes-AMG S-Class Hybrid elevates luxury performance to an even higher level, the E-Class Hybrid follows suit with a slightly more subdued approach. At the heart of the 2025 Mercedes-AMG E 53 HYBRID lies a sophisticated system that combines a specially enhanced 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder turbocharged engine (443 hp) with a permanently excited synchronous electric motor (161 hp). Together, these components produce an impressive 577 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of maximum system torque. The electric motor is seamlessly integrated into the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission, providing instantaneous access to an additional 354 lb-ft of torque.
Despite its benefits, the hybrid technology in this system includes an impressive function known as ‘RACE START’. This unleashes the full power of the internal combustion engine and electric motor. Utilizing the RACE START feature, the hybrid system boasts up to 604 hp in total output, enabling the agile E 53 HYBRID to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in a mere 3.7 seconds. However, AMG has electronically capped the E 53 HYBRID’s maximum speed at 174 mph. Despite being able to run solely on electric power, the vehicle’s top speed in this mode is only 87 mph.
The mechanism derives electricity from a 400-volt, 28.6 kWh battery situated at the back, right under the trunk space. This battery allots 21.2 kWh for regular driving, while reserving the remaining power for a boost during intense and speedy driving. The E 53 HYBRID also includes an onboard AC charger with an 11 kW capacity and a 60 kW DC fast charger. Currently, Mercedes-Benz has yet to disclose the electric range.
Supplementing the effective force of the hybrid engine are multiple mechanisms that collaborate to guarantee the E 53 HYBRID embodies its title as an AMG. One such example is the premium athletic sedan’s inclusion of AMG Performance 4MATIC+ fully adjustable all-wheel drive as a standard feature, providing optimal grip in any scenario.
The E 53 HYBRID boasts a tuned AMG RIDE CONTROL steel spring suspension that comes equipped with adaptive adjustable damping. This model also comes equipped with a steel suspension that has a sporty spring-damper setup and features adaptive two-valve adjustable damping. With the option to choose from three different damper maps, namely “Comfort,” “Sport,” and “Sport+,” the driver can customize their driving experience to their liking.
Delivering more than enough braking capability is a top-of-the-line AMG high-performance brake system, which boasts 14.6 x 1.4-inch front brake discs that are internally ventilated and equipped with four-piston fixed calipers. In addition, the E 53 HYBRID has 14.2 x 1-inch rear brake discs with single-piston floating calipers. Additionally, this model is outfitted with active rear-axle steering, a feature that causes the rear wheels to turn in the opposite direction of the front wheels.
The E 53 HYBRID stands out among its technologically advanced Mercedes-Benz E-Class counterparts with various AMG and hybrid-inspired design elements. To name a few, the hybrid model boasts broader front fenders and a wider front track. Additionally, it sports unique hybrid insignia on both the front fenders and rear.
Moreover, the E 53 HYBRID boasts distinctive AMG side skirts, sleek LED taillights that are joined horizontally, and a trunk lid with an edgy AMG spoiler. Adding to its sporty look, the E 53 HYBRID also comes equipped with a rear fascia featuring a diffuser and twin round double tailpipe trims. The standard 20-inch AMG alloy wheels add to its bold and powerful appearance.
In the interior of the vehicle, the E 53 HYBRID boasts brightened trim in a sleek gray hue made of open-pore ash wood adorned with the distinguished AMG emblem. Additionally, one can opt for the MBUX Superscreen, which is essentially a 12.3-inch display placed specifically for the front passenger’s viewing pleasure. The front seats offer exceptional comfort and support with power-adjustable features and are draped in a luxurious combination of MB-Tex material and microfiber, displaying unique AMG designs. The driver has the privilege of maneuvering a Nappa leather-clad AMG performance steering wheel.
The “Edition 1” model, exclusively available for the 2025 model year, is the perfect choice for AMG clients seeking a well-equipped E 53 HYBRID. According to Mercedes, the 2025 E 53 HYBRID will make its way to U.S. dealerships in late 2024, and pricing details will be revealed closer to its release.
