2024 Mercedes-AMG E53 Wants To Become Your Next Practical PHEV Performance Wagon | Carscoops carscoops
recently ditched its twin-turbo V8 for a PHEV inline-4 that develops a stack more power but fails to deliver the same kind of character, according to those who have driven it. But while the C63’s hot E-Class brothers are also being hit with the downsizing stick for their next incarnation, AMG is trying a different approach that might preserve some personality in the fast mid-size sedans and wagons.
While the publication reports that AMG is targeting more than 700 hp and 884 lb-ft for the 63, it says the milder E53 will have a far more conservative, but still very competent, 510 hp . It’ll use the same basic 3.0-liter engine, albeit with a different hybrid setup more like the one fitted to the big S580e.
And speaking of flat, the practical wagon body and fold-down rear seats will make it the ideal vehicle to get a load of flat-pack back from Ikea in a hurry, though sadly not in the U.S. where it’s unlikely to be offered. Naturally, a sedan will also be available, meaning American buyers will at least get a chance to sample the new E53 in something close to this form.
This prototype is keeping its styling secrets close to its chest but we know the finished car will featurePanamericana grille, a heavily sculpted front bumper, and we can already see the four round tailpipes that will help differentiate it from the E63 that is likely to get squared tips.
