Mercedes-Benz USA said today that 2026 Mercedes-AMG E 53 Hybrid* arrives at U.S. dealerships in early fall 2025, starting from $93,3502. That excludes a $1150 destination and delivery charge as well as options. AutoInformed speculates that Trump Tariff chaos had something to do with the price. Green would be an appropriate color under the circumstances. No U.S. photos or the rear interior area of the wagon were provided. [See footnote 1]**
“The AMG E 53 Hybrid Wagon is an AMG-enhanced 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder turbocharged engine and a permanently excited synchronous electric motor, producing a combined output of 577 hp, 604 hp with optional Race Start [3]. Acceleration from 0-60 mph is achieved in as little as 3.8 seconds [3] thanks to standard AMG Performance 4MATIC+ fully variable all-wheel drive. AMG Ride Control suspension with adaptive adjustable damping and 2.5-degree active rear-axle steering also contribute to the dynamic driving experience,” Mercedes said.
“The optional AMG Dynamic Plus Package enhances the performance of the AMG E 53 Hybrid Wagon with an electronically controlled AMG limited-slip rear differential, Race Start function and an AMG High Performance Composite Brake System with larger front brake discs – slowing the vehicle from an elevated 174-mph top speed,” Mercedes claimed.
Customers can personalize the performance Hybrid choosing from more than 10 exterior paints and three exterior design packages – the AMG Exterior Carbon Fiber Package, AMG Night Package and AMG Night Package Plus. Standard 20-inch AMG wheels can be upgraded to 20-inch AMG or 21-inch AMG Forged wheel designs.
Inside, the AMG E 53 Hybrid Wagon has an AMG Performance steering wheel in Nappa leather with AMG Drive Unit buttons and heated rim, heated power front seats with 4-way lumbar support and a Burmester® 4D Surround Sound System. The optional MBUX Superscreen Package adds a 12.3-inch front passenger display, in addition to the standard 14.4-inch central multimedia display. Customers can also select the optional Multi-contour Seating Package with expanded comfort features or the AMG Performance Seat Package Advanced to support the dynamic driving experience. Sporty AMG MB-Tex/Microfiber upholstery is highlighted standard and AMG Nappa leather choices are optionally available. An array of interior trim finishes, from natural grain wood to AMG Carbon Fiber, provide further opportunity for personalization.
A limited “Edition 1” model is also available for model year 2026 only. The special model has a comprehensive suite of equipment, exclusive MANUFAKTUR Alpine Grey paint with contrasting AMG graphics and exterior accents, 21-inch AMG Forged Cross-Spoke wheels finished in black and a unique edition-specific interior.
