Mercedes-Benz USA has unveiled the 2026 Mercedes-AMG E 53 HYBRID Wagon—the brand’s first performance-oriented plug-in hybrid wagon for the American market. Melding AMG’s dynamic character with electric efficiency, the vehicle is slated to arrive at U.S. dealerships later in 2025.

AMG Power Meets Hybrid Precision

At its core, the E 53 HYBRID Wagon is powered by an AMG-enhanced 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six paired with a P2 hybrid system. It delivers a standard 577 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque, with output rising to 604 hp in RACE START mode.

With AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, 0–60 mph is achieved in just 3.8 seconds. The vehicle can also drive electrically at speeds of up to 87 mph.

Performance and Customization

The optional AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package further elevates the driving experience, unlocking a 174 mph top speed and introducing features such as red brake calipers, active engine mounts, and AMG High Performance Composite brakes.

Standard features include AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension and active rear-axle steering for confident handling.

Design, Interior, and Edition 1 Model

A suite of 12 paint options—including four MANUFAKTUR hues—and various AMG styling packages allow for visual customization.

The cabin combines luxury and sport with AMG-specific Nappa leather, performance seats, and a 17-speaker Burmester® 4D sound system. An “Edition 1” model adds unique design elements and 21-inch forged wheels in Alpine Grey.
