Mercedes-AMG E 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+ Sedan with EQ Hybrid Technology preview- Driving event in Ötztal

The E-Class has been one of Mercedes-AMG's most popular models for decades.

The performance brand is building on this with the E 53 HYBRID: The vehicle offers typical AMG driving dynamics with excellent responsiveness, great driving dynamics and sporty design.

As a plug-in hybrid, the E 53 HYBRID combines concentrated performance with efficiency and an electric range of up to more than 100 kilometers.

The basis for the sporty and efficient drive is the tried and tested AMG 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder turbo engine.

In the E 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+, it delivers 330 kW/449 hp.

Compared to the previous version in the E 53 of the previous W213 series, this means an increase of 10 kW/14 hp.

Numerous software and hardware measures contribute to the increase in performance.

This includes a new twin-scroll exhaust turbocharger with higher boost pressure.

The combination of this combustion engine and the permanent magnet e-synchronous machine with 120 kW nominal output generates a maximum system output of 430 kW/585 hp (with RACE START: 450 kW/612 hp) and a maximum system torque of 750 Nm.

The driving performance is correspondingly dynamic: Acceleration from 0-100 km/h takes 3.8 seconds (sedan with RACE START, part of the optional AMG DYNAMIC PLUS package).

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

Up to 140 km/h is possible purely electrically.

A charger with 11 kW charging capacity is on board for charging with alternating current.

In addition, a 60 kW DC fast charger for direct current is available on request.

This allows the battery to be charged from 10% to 80% charge in around 20 minutes.
