Redesign!! 2025 Mercedes AMG E53 Hybrid Unveiled - Release And Date - Review
The 2025 Mercedes-AMG E53 has 576 hp thanks to an electric motor and a 3.0-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder engine.
Electric vehicle range is targeted at 62 miles by a large 21.2-kWh battery, however, this is only under the lenient European WLTP standards.
The new E-class may be equipped with improved brakes and increased performance with the optional Dynamic Plus package.
While it has become commonplace for vehicles to gain power with each new generation, electrification has accelerated this trend to an unprecedented degree. The 429 hp offered by the latest American-market Mercedes-AMG E53 sedan's turbocharged six-cylinder engine was more than adequate. The new 2025 model will have 576 horsepower (or 603 hp with the optional Race Start mode) thanks to its plug-in hybrid powertrain. Based on those numbers, the new E53 is more potent than the E63 S from the previous generation of Mercedes-AMG. If inflation works like this, then everyone can support it.Similar to the GLE53 Hybrid that we reported on in October, the new E53 Hybrid borrows an engine from that vehicle but upgrades it with a stronger electric motor. The E53's electric motor powers the nine-speed transmission housed within the gearbox, which in turn powers the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged straight-six engine that produces up to 443 horsepower. It can produce up to 161 hp and 352 lb-ft on its own, and with the optional AMG Dynamic Plus package, you can get a temporary power boost in the Race Start mode. A peak of 553 pound-feet of total torque has been reported. The E53 Hybrid sedan is two-tenths slower without Race Start, according to AMG, but it can reach 62 mph in 3.8 seconds with it. We reckon the new E53 Coupe will outperform its stated specs, as we were able to get to 60 mph in four seconds flat with the outgoing model.
A substantial electrical range is provided by a battery pack that is situated under the rear floor and contains a 21.2-kWh 400-volt capacity. The 62-mile (or 100-km) WLTP rating is something that AMG is aiming for in Europe. This will allow EV owners in different countries to take advantage of tax incentives. Even though the E53 Hybrid's EPA ratings will be lower, it should still have more than 40 miles of electric range and can reach 87 mph when powered by electricity alone. Europe reports a top speed of 155 mph for the base model and 174 mph with the Dynamic Plus package.
