Mercedes-Benz has been on a roll of late, producing some of the finest luxury cars in the world. The E-Class is just one such exploit, a midsize luxury sedan that has become an icon of modern luxury and interior design. A unique grille and exclusive exterior details help separate its sedan, cabriolet, and coupe body styles from their more pedestrian counterparts. A 429-hp turbocharged six-cylinder powertrain and standard all-wheel-drive deliver all-weather traction and zealous acceleration. Of course, the E53 family also maintains the Mercedes’ luxury pedigree with an eye-catching cabin that boasts cutting-edge technology and upscale materials. In a class brimming with talented competitors, the 2021 Mercedes-AMG E53 ranks among the most remarkable.

2021 Mercedes-AMG E53 Sedan First Look Review
Mercedes-Benz has been on a roll of late, producing some of the finest luxury cars in any segment it so desires. The E-Class is just one such exploit, a midsize luxury sedan that has become an icon of modern luxury and interior design. But those with gasoline in their veins have always wanted more; AMG models have come along to satiate those desires but have often been inaccessible and overly harsh for the E-Class’s intended market. Mercedes-AMG hit the sweet spot when the E53 arrived for 2019, taking all the luxury of the standard E-Class, but pairing it with a potent-yet-civil powertrain in the form of a new inline-six (Mercedes first since the end of the 20th century) coupled with a mild hybrid system.
2021 Mercedes-AMG E53 Engine and Transmission
Every E53 is powered by an AMG-tuned turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder engine that makes 429 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque. It pairs exclusively with a nine-speed automatic transmission and 4Matic all-wheel drive. Manual swapping of the gears is available at any time via paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The last E53 coupe we tested sprinted from zero to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. The standard air suspension seamlessly makes the switch from twisty-road demon to comfortable freeway cruiser. Swapping drive modes subtly changes the sedan’s road-damping demeanor without becoming either pillowy or punishing. The steering—as with the other dynamics—is crisp, sweetly responsive, and well balanced, blending feedback and precision. The E53 rides on standard 19-inch wheels or optional 20-inch rollers.
2021 Mercedes-AMG E53 Interior
The E53 earns top marks for interior build quality and the ability to make its passengers feel as if they have just walked into a fine high-end pastry shop in Paris. The sporty, upscale cabin is completed by a collection of deluxe standard and optional features. The standard interior is plenty fancy, but deep-pocketed buyers can elevate the experience further with exotic wood trims, a fragrance atomizer, and massaging front seats. Flashy red seatbelts are standard fare but can be replaced with black belts for free, which we would choose to do. The only thing that irked us was the column shifter, which is awkward to use at first, looks out of place in a sports sedan, and feels fragile.
2021 Mercedes-AMG E53 Price
Mercedes-AMG gives the E53 a mild makeover for 2021. The changes are shared between the four-door sedan and the two-door coupe and cabriolet. These include redesigned front and rear ends, a new steering-wheel design, an enhanced infotainment system, the latest driver assists, and an updated powertrain and the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) will starts from
| Trims | Price |
|---|---|
| 2021 Mercedes-AMG E53 Sedan | ₦35.2 million |
| 2021 Mercedes-AMG 53 coupe | ₦36.3 million |
| 2021 Mercedes-AMG E53 cabriolet | ₦39.4 million |
The E53 sedan has the smallest trunk volume among most rivals, yet we managed to fit a comparable number of carry-ons in it; with the rear seats in place, we managed to fit five suitcases inside. Coupe and convertible models are less practical. Interior storage space is significantly better than the competition, with a commodious center console and a massive underfloor trunk compartment.
