The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon has long been admired for its blend of luxury and practicality, offering a spacious and comfortable cabin. Stepping inside, you’re immediately greeted by clean lines, supportive seats, and generous room for up to five adults. Beyond passenger comfort, the luggage area is equally impressive, providing 35 cubic feet of space for everyday needs. This expands significantly to 64 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down, creating a nearly flat load floor ideal for transporting larger items, from furniture to sports equipment.
Moving beyond the standard E-Class comforts, the Mercedes-AMG E63 Wagon elevates the experience with distinctive AMG enhancements. The cabin is adorned with signature AMG touches, including the prestigious Affalterbach logo embossed into the leather headrests, a hallmark of AMG’s hand-built quality. The AMG performance steering wheel and machined aluminum pedals further amplify the sporty character, reminding you this is no ordinary wagon.
Under the hood, the 2021 Mercedes-AMG E63 Wagon retains the heart of a beast: a hand-built twin-turbo V8 engine. This powerhouse delivers a thrilling 603 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque, ensuring breathtaking performance. Each engine is meticulously assembled by a single AMG engineer, as evidenced by the signature plaque – in this case, Timo Nordheim – a testament to the bespoke nature of AMG engines. The power delivery is remarkably smooth and consistent throughout the rev range, paired with a seamless nine-speed automatic transmission that executes rapid gear changes.
Further enhancing its dynamic capabilities, the AMG E63 Wagon features a superb all-wheel-drive system. This sophisticated system, combined with the technical brilliance of a limited-slip differential and advanced traction control, ensures optimal power distribution. Whether shifting power between left and right wheels or front and rear axles, the system maintains exceptional grip, allowing the E63 S to confidently utilize all four twenty-inch wheels and tires. For the truly adventurous driver, the system can even direct power solely to the rear wheels, unlocking a Drift Mode. A family wagon with a drift mode? The Mercedes-AMG E63 Wagon masterfully blends practicality with exhilarating performance, proving that German engineering can indeed have a playful side.
