Mercedes-Benz India has officially unleashed the incredible Mercedes-AMG E 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+—marking the spectacular debut of the brand’s very first electrified AMG E-Class in the Indian market. Building on the massive, 30-year legacy of the iconic E-Class nameplate, this powerhouse sedan effortlessly fuses heart-pounding racetrack dynamics with everyday electric efficiency. Available in two high-octane editions—Performance priced at Rs. 1.45 crores and Racing Edition at Rs. 1.48 crores (ex-showroom). The E53 is a short wheelbase E53 with a smaller screen than the long wheelbase car version with the bigger superscreen sold specifically in India is here. The estate internationally with E53 engine also gets a smaller screen.
A thrilling 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder engine pairs with a high-performance electric motor to generate a massive system output of 430 kW (585 hp) and 750 Nm of torque, which skyrockets to an astonishing 450 kW (612 hp) with RACE START mode engaged. This lets the sedan rocket from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 3.8 seconds, reaching electronically limited top speeds of up to 280 km/h with the optional AMG Driver’s Package. Yet, behind this raw power lies remarkable efficiency: thanks to a 28.6 kWh battery, drivers can enjoy a pure electric range of over 100 km (WLTP) at speeds up to 140 km/h, making silent, emission-free daily commutes a total breeze. Handling is kept razor-sharp through standard fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, custom AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension, and active rear-axle steering.
Mercedes-Benz India has also announced its dynamic new role as Title Partner for the Indian Padel Tour (IPT) across the 2026–27 season. Covering 19 thrilling tournaments across 10 cities, this collaboration connects the brand with one of the fastest-growing lifestyle sports in the country. Mercedes-Benz owners will enjoy unprecedented perks, including direct nationwide padel court access, exclusive customer Padel Days, and early tournament registration—with brand-new AMG E 53 Hybrid owners securing direct VIP entry into the Indian Padel Tour Grand Slam!
To cap off this momentous chapter, Mercedes-Benz is celebrating “140 Years of Innovation” since Carl Benz filed the original automobile patent. As part of a grand global tour across six continents, three special S-Class sedans named Gotlieb, Carl, and Bertha are currently undertaking a grand cross-country journey across India before heading to Africa.
