The Mercedes-AMG E 63 S Wagon offers a compelling blend of practicality and exhilarating performance. Stepping inside the E-Class cabin is always a premium experience, characterized by its clean design, supportive and comfortable seating for five adults, and generous space. You’ll find 35 cubic feet of luggage capacity, which expands to an impressive 64 cubic feet when the seats are folded down. This creates a nearly flat load floor, making it exceptionally versatile for hauling larger items, whether it’s sports equipment or home improvement supplies. The interior is further enhanced with AMG-specific details, including the prestigious Affalterbach logo embossed on the leather headrests, alongside the signature AMG steering wheel and machined aluminum pedals, adding a sporty yet luxurious touch.
Under the hood, the 2021 Mercedes-AMG E 63 S Wagon boasts the renowned hand-built twin-turbo V8 engine, producing a formidable 603 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. This particular engine was lovingly assembled by Timo Nordheim, an AMG Engineer, as indicated by the signed plaque under the hood – a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship. The power delivery is remarkably smooth and consistent throughout the rev range, and the nine-speed automatic transmission provides seamless and rapid gear changes. The AMG all-wheel-drive system is expertly engineered, working in concert with the limited-slip differential and advanced traction control systems to effectively distribute power between the wheels – left to right, front to back – ensuring maximum grip from all four twenty-inch wheels and tires. For drivers seeking a more dynamic experience, the system can even direct power exclusively to the rear wheels, engaging the Drift Mode. The inclusion of a drift mode in a family wagon truly exemplifies the playful and unexpected character of this vehicle, showcasing a surprising and delightful sense of humor from the German engineers.
