Mercedes-Benz is releasing a fresh, new version of the E-Class model this year and you won’t believe what they’ve added! AMG, the experts in performance tuning, are taking on the challenge of perfecting this masterpiece.
Recent sightings of the AMG E 53 prototype in a sporty sedan and stylish wagon have left us eagerly awaiting their release in 2024. While it’s unclear if the wagon version will be sold in the U.S., we can guarantee that the sedan will make its way here.
Sadly, the current E 53 wagon isn’t available in America, but the powerful E 63 S wagon has graced our shores in the past.
Hold on tight, folks, because there’s a juicy detail we need to spill! We were shocked to learn that no prototypes of the redesigned AMG E 63 have been spotted yet. What could this mean? Are they delaying the launch or even scrapping it altogether? We suspect AMG may be focused on their upcoming electric performance sedan, scheduled for release in 2025.
Ram vehicles in Australia may not have a crucial safety feature that could save your life! The Big Horn model lacks the potentially life-saving autonomous emergency braking technology found in the Laramie version.
Despite being converted to right-hand drive by Walkinshaw Automotive in Melbourne, the Aussie Ram vehicles still use international specs. To make matters worse, the active safety package available in the US-spec 1500 Big Horn has not been selected for Aussie models.
On the upside, the Big Horn does retain a powerful 5.7-liter Hemi petrol V8 under the bonnet, with a whopping 291kW and 556Nm. With an eight-speed automatic transmission and a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, its combined fuel consumption is rated at 12.2L/100km.
The new E 53 prototype car is easy to spot with its cool-looking wheels and large brakes, plus it has four round exhaust tips. If they make an E 63, it will also have four exhaust tips, but in a square shape.
The people at AMG haven’t said what engine they’re putting in the E 53, but the rumors say it could be a 3.0-liter turbo-6 with a mild-hybrid system, which means it should be more powerful than the last one. There might also be a new E 63 coming with a plug-in hybrid engine that has a 3.0-liter turbo-6.
The last E 63 had a twin-turbo V-8 that made 603 hp, but Mercedes has made other cars with plug-in hybrid engines that make a lot of power, like the C 63 S E Performance that has a 2.0-liter turbo-4 and makes 671 hp. They also have V-8 plug-in hybrid engines in other models that make around 800 hp.
