Mercedes-Benz Korea is launching the Mercedes-AMGE 53 Hybrid 4MATIC+, a high-performance plug-in hybrid model of the luxury business sedan E-Class.


The Mercedes-AMGE 53 Hybrid 4MATIC+ is a vehicle with AMG's unique dynamic driving performance and sporty design and efficiency with a PHEV system. Through this launch, Mercedes-Benz Korea will be able to increase the trim of its 11th generation E-Class to high-performance brands and respond flexibly to various needs of customers.


The vehicle combines a 3.0-liter series 6-cylinder gasoline turbo engine with an electric motor to produce a system output of up to 585 horsepower and a system torque of up to 750 Nm, reaching 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds from standstill. The engine output reached 449 horsepower, an increase of 14 horsepower compared to the previous generation (W213). In addition to pure electric driving, electric motors add additional power to the engine and provide 480Nm of strong torque right from the beginning of driving, providing both high efficiency and strong driving performance.





In addition, when driving in 'electric' mode, it can run 66 km (based on domestic certification), with a maximum speed of 140 km/h. In addition, it supports four regenerative braking modes, from the driving texture like an internal combustion engine vehicle to one-pedal driving in the strongest regenerative braking mode. Vehicles receive two types of low-emission vehicles and provide benefits such as congestion tolls and reduction of parking fees in public parking lots.


The vehicle conveys AMG's unique driving sensibility completed with various technologies. "AMG Ride Control," which is further developed with new hardware and software, applies adaptive adjustable damping and steel spring suspension, and the damping of each wheel is adjusted according to driving conditions and road conditions, providing not only dynamics but also excellent ride. The rear axle steering function steers the rear wheels up to 2.5 degrees, helping to maneuver the vehicle nimbly.


The AMG Dynamic Plus package, which comes standard, provides a variety of sporty elements for a more emotional driving experience. As a key specification, the ▲ electronically controlled 'AMG Rear Axle Lock Differential' ideally distributes power between both wheels when cornering and increases driving stability when lane changing, and the ▲ 'race start' provides the best acceleration even when stopped. ▲ 'Dynamic Engine Mount' optimally connects the engine and the body depending on the situation to satisfy both comfort and sportiness. Added to this is an AMG high-performance brake system with ▲6P brakes and a red brake caliper emblazoned with ▲ AMG lettering.





In the appearance, the light emitting function is applied to the AMG-only radiator grill with a vertical Louvre. Compared to the regular E-class, the front fender is wider, giving a strong impression when viewed from the front. On the side and back, special design elements such as AMG dedicated side skirt panels, AMG spoiler lip on trunk lid, and AMG rear apron were added. In addition, it is equipped with a 20-inch AMG 10 twin spoke lightweight alloy wheel, and a hybrid-only badge is added to emphasize its identity as an electric vehicle.


The interior of the vehicle is equipped with an MBUX superscreen, and the overall harmonious design is applied. AMG sports seats made of AMG Napa leather added AMG Amplum and logo to the headrest and backrest, and highlighted with red seatbelts and stitches. The AMG performance steering wheel, which controls major driving functions and programs with simple operation, is wrapped in Napa leather.


In addition, it provides routine functionality to support automated vehicle setup based on the 3rd generation MBUX infotainment system, as well as a variety of third-party development applications such as YouTube, Zoom, Angrybird, TikTok, and T-map Auto through in-vehicle data without mobile tethering.





In addition, the latest driving assistance system, Driving Assistance Package Plus, is installed. This included active distance assist distronic supporting ▲ distance from the vehicle in front, automatic speed adjustment, braking and departure, and active steering assist detecting lanes through stereo cameras mounted on the ▲ front windshield. At the same time, the ▲ Free-Safe® Impulse Side is added to protect the front seat occupant by inflating the side bolster when the side collision is detected.


In addition, it provides the following options: ▲ head-up display, ▲ boomerang® 4D surround sound system, active ambient light with ▲ sound visualization, ▲ wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ▲ front seat mobile device wireless charging, ▲ panoramic sunroof, ▲ front seat heating and ventilation seats, ▲ rear seat heating seats, ▲ heated steering wheel, ▲ hands-free access, ▲ electric trunk, ▲ toll settlement system, etc.


The Mercedes-AMGE 53 Hybrid 4MATIC+ is priced at KRW 138.6 million (including VAT). The specifications of the vehicle are as follows, and more details can be found at 64 official Mercedes-Benz Korea exhibition halls and on the official Mercedes-Benz Korea website (www.mercedes-benz.co.kr ).
