It also features an advanced AMG Speedshift TCT 9G transmission with a space-saving integrated 120-kW electric motor, pushing the boundaries of hybrid power efficiency.
The car’s 28.6 kWh battery ensures drivers can enjoy extended electric-only adventures, supported by convenient charging options that promise a swift energy boost from 10% to 80% in just about 20 minutes with a DC fast charger.
Beyond its muscular performance, the E 53 Hybrid impresses with a reinforced body shell and AMG’s design signature. Its striking looks are complemented by state-of-the-art tech, including the optional MBUX Superscreen with passenger monitor, offering AMG-specific features and hybrid functions at your fingertips.
