Mercedes-AMG E53 review
Affalterbach looks to a new high-performance PHEV powertrain for the replacement for the much-loved E63 The AMG E63 was a brash, loud, powerful super-saloon that was sacrificed as part of Mercedes' wide-ranging electrification plans, one of the most multi-faceted of AMG’s modern-day performance cars has been laid to rest with a celebrated reputation built up over a period of 16 years and three model generations. And it has been indirectly replaced by this: the petrol-electric Mercedes-AMG E53.This new headlining Mercedes E-Class model, to be sold in the UK in both saloon and estate forms, may lack the character-defining V8 engine used by other key AMG models, but it doesn’t want for performance. With 603bhp in combination with a so-called AMG Dynamic Plus package, it offers exactly the same power as the previous-generation E63 4Matic+.That said, the plug-in high performance formula hasn't been a huge hit for Mercedes, with the four-cylinder petrol-electric C63 proving to be such a hard sell that Mercedes have hinted that a V8 could return as part of the car's mid-life refresh. So, does will PHEV approach be equally unpopular for the larger E-Class? Time to find out.
