2022 Mercedes-Benz AMG E-Class: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2022 Mercedes-Benz AMG E-Class is the loss of the E 63 S, leaving the E 53 as the sole trim. Otherwise, this is a lightly changed year rather than a redesign.
About the 2022 Mercedes-Benz AMG E-Class
Fifth-generation E-Class family; second model year after the 2021 mid-cycle exterior and technology update.
Mercedes-AMG positioned the E 53 as a balance of strong performance and everyday E-Class comfort. Its electrified inline-six delivers smooth, immediate power, while variable AWD and adaptive air suspension support year-round driving without turning the car into a harsh track-focused model. Sedan, pillarless coupe and cabriolet body styles add practical, stylish and open-air interpretations of the same technology-rich performance-luxury formula.
The E 53 AMG is the balanced performance version of the E-Class, combining everyday comfort with all-weather traction and sharper responses. Its key features include a 429-hp turbocharged inline-six with electric boost, variable AWD, adaptive air suspension, performance brakes and dual 12.3-inch displays with navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
