The 2025 Mercedes-AMG E 53 Hybrid debuts as a PHEV packing a turbocharged inline-six.
Under the hood of this four-door is an updated version of the 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six that now produces 443 horsepower on its own, an increase of 14 horsepower over the previous generation thanks to a new turbo, revised engine software and increased cooling capacities. However, that engine is now augmented with a 161-horsepower electric motor integrated into the nine-speed automatic transmission.
The E 53 Hybrid has all the usual other enhancements we’d expect from a mid-tier AMG variant. It gets adaptive dampers paired with steel springs as the only suspension option. Additional bracing in both front and rear stiffens the structure, while a wider front track and stiffer bushings enhance handling further. Rear-wheel steering comes standard, and Mercedes says it offers a maximum angle of 2.5 degrees in the opposite direction or 0.7 degrees in the same direction as the fronts.
The interior sets itself apart from non-AMG products with AMG Sport seats standard or highly-carved AMG “performance seats” for even more bolstering. AMG logos can be seen throughout, and AMG-specific menus and displays on the screen and digital cluster are also featured.
