About the 2023 Mercedes-Benz AMG E-Class
5th generation, final model year (W213/S213 sedan and wagon; C238/A238 coupe and cabriolet)
Mercedes-AMG positions the E-Class as a midsize luxury performance car that combines strong acceleration and agile handling with the comfort, technology, and everyday usefulness of the regular E-Class. The range stretches from the E 53’s smoother mild-hybrid six-cylinder character and three body styles to the E 63 S’s hand-built V8 and sedan-or-wagon practicality. Its key distinction is sports-car pace without giving up a spacious, richly equipped cabin.
The E 53 serves as the more everyday-focused model, pairing a 429-hp turbocharged inline-six with AWD, air suspension, and an AMG digital cockpit in sedan, coupe, and cabriolet forms. The E 63 S is the more track-focused version, with a hand-built 603-hp twin-turbo V8, AWD, an electronically controlled rear differential, and sedan or wagon bodywork.
