Mercedes-AMG E 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+ Saloon Design Preview

With the new Mercedes-AMG E 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+ as a saloon and estate, the performance and sports car brand from Affalterbach is presenting two further plug-in hybrid models.

They combine outstanding performance and driving dynamics with a long electric range.

The combination of the 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line engine and the permanently excited E-synchronous machine generates a maximum system output of 430 kW (585 HP) and a maximum system torque of 750 Nm.

The performance is correspondingly dynamic: acceleration from 0‑100 km/h takes place in 3.8 seconds.

The top speed is electronically limited to 280 km/h (saloon with optional AMG Driver's Package).

Up to 140 km/h are possible purely electrically.

The 120-kW electric motor is integrated into the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission to save space.

The high-power density of the hybrid power unit is achieved by the permanently excited internal rotor synchronous technology.

The electric motor's maximum torque of 480 Nm is available from the first revolution and ensures high agility even when starting off.

The traction battery with 400 volts has a gross capacity of 28.6 kWh and is installed in the rear under the trunk floor.

The energy content that can be used every day is smaller at 21.22 kWh, as part of the energy is always reserved for boosting and thus high-performance driving.

Nevertheless, the high-voltage battery enables an electric range of up to over 100 kilometres.
