Performance Redefined: Hybrid Power and AMG Engineering
At the heart of the E53 AMG Hybrid lies an AMG-enhanced 3.0L inline-6 turbo engine, now electrified with a 120kW permanently synchronous electric motor. This potent combination delivers a staggering 577 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. The result is breathtaking acceleration, launching you from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.9 seconds. This isn’t just about straight-line speed; the AMG SPEEDSHIFT® TCT 9-speed automatic transmission ensures lightning-fast gear changes, keeping you in the optimal power band for any driving situation. The AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive system intelligently distributes power, providing exceptional grip and control in all conditions, whether you’re carving through corners or cruising on the highway.
Efficiency Meets Exhilaration: The Hybrid Advantage
The “Hybrid” in Mercedes-Benz E53 AMG Hybrid is not just a badge; it’s a core component of the driving experience. Beyond the enhanced performance, the plug-in hybrid system offers impressive fuel economy figures. Achieve up to 54 MPGe in the city and 65 MPGe on the highway, making your daily drive both thrilling and efficient. Charging is convenient and quick, with AC charging at 9.6 kW taking approximately 2.75 hours to charge the battery from 10-100% using a J1772 connector. For even faster charging, DC fast charging is available, bringing the battery from 10-80% in around 20 minutes using a Combined Charging System (CCS) connector. This hybrid system seamlessly integrates electric power to boost performance and efficiency without compromising the signature AMG driving dynamics.

The Mercedes-Benz E53 AMG Hybrid Sedan boasts a commanding presence with its sporty dimensions.
