2025 Mercedes-AMG E53 Review

The 2025 Mercedes-AMG E53 4MATIC+ ($105,000 starting in Canada, $88,000 starting in the US) is all new and has now been hybridized with electric power. This helps its 3.0 L inline-6 turbo engine make a combined 577 horsepower, 553 lb ft of torque, and gives it around 69 km (nice) of electric only range. But with all the new added tech comes some added weight that might affect how it handles on the road. So how does the new E53 hybrid drive and how does it fare against its competitors? Thomas and James can’t wait to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode. Subscribe!

Thomas: "that's what's _wrong_ with Mercedes!"

Mercedes: "Say that again, please."

12:08 Wow this car made him accidentally swear, thats a rare sight. Merc finally doing some good things in this new generation

[gfysmiley]

Finally the answer of what happens when you ask mercedes to mix classic AMG styling with a storm trooper helmet.

These guys, right now, are the best in the business- Car reviews with humor and product knowledge.

As soon as I saw the notification I clicked. I feel like Mercedes has lost its way with over design and small pot turbo hybrid engines. However, this E53 AMG actually looks pretty good.

"Ruth's Chris" refers to the name of a famous steakhouse, where "Ruth" is the name of the founder, Ruth Fertel, and "Chris" comes from the original restaurant she purchased called "Chris Steak House" - essentially, when she had to relocate due to a fire, she kept the "Chris" part but added her own name to create "Ruth's Chris Steak House"

The weight without driver is 2315 KG according to their website, around 5090 burger pounds.
The Pilot Sport 4s is a pretty loud tire in wide configurations, I suggest a different, less sporty tire will take a lot of road noise away.

This is currently one of my favourite AMG cars. Everything is perfect. The looks, powertrain (fast enough and reasonably economical) Love it!

[RennyChan]

Ruth's Chris has put my brain in a pretzel for like 20 years too. Thanks gents!

I don't know any YT channel near the (well-deserved) success of Throttle House which spends even remotely as much time worrying about which sub-channel or format or whatever a particular video sorts under.

They're great videos and I watch them all, regardless if you post them as Throttle House Express, Thomas & Hjames, Extra Turbo ThrottelHouse TDI or whatever.

The amount of takes Thomas must have done 😅 2:21

Had a E350 loaner couple weeks ago. Road noise is loud for this class of car. Except for the lower body decal I'd say the new E53 is a stunner!

Every time I see a new AMG review, I cross my fingers hoping there’s a shred of the old AMG brand somewhere in there that will keep me faithful.

[franzweijmer]

I love how it's the whole "you're watching extra throttle house" Followed by a long explanation of what it is. Now with TH Express. Keep it up (I find it fun).

[conneryates]

I love you guys btw you are some of the most honest Journalists I’ve come across

[salmanfarruz]

The AMG E53 might just be my favourite Mercedes E Class ever. It looks like a Stormtrooper!

[steve-fbbm]

According to the German website, the EU model weighs around 2.390kg/ 5.269lbs (empty). I suspect that the weight for other markets will not differ greatly.

13:51 It’s Ruth’s Chris Steak House because the original Chris Steak House owned by Ruth Fertel burned down in the 70’s and she couldn’t take the name to the new location. To get around that, she named the new location “Ruth’s Chris Steak House”

[Bit_the_Bullitt]

Hot dang I'm early. I just wanted to really thank you guys and the team for the videos. I feel I've grown with your channel since covid and the passion you guys put into the videos is virtually unmatched. Only Savagegeese gets close to you being able to relay the raw emotions from some of the cars enthusiasts look for. Thank you!

“And Curb weights that are similar to Large ford trucks, it’s gonna be good” that shit killed me 😂😂
