2023 AMG E 53 Sedan Test Drive

The 2023 AMG E53 is powered by a turbocharged and supercharged 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder engine that makes 429 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque. It pairs exclusively with a nine-speed automatic transmission and 4Matic all-wheel drive. 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. However, the larger set are more prone to eliciting harsh impacts over pavement seams and pothole patches.

Despite sharing the same powertrain, AMG E53 fuel economy vary between each of the three body configurations. For 2023, the sedan is rated at 21 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. Both the coupe and convertible models earned ratings of 20 mpg city, but the coupe is rated at 28 mpg highway while the convertible drops to 27 mpg. We tested a previous model year coupe on our 75-mph highway fuel economy route, and it returned 32 mpg. The last E53 sedan we tested also earned 32 mpg highway; both models exceeded their government highway rating by 4 mpg.

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 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.

A large 12.3-inch touchscreen is standard and supports the company's latest MBUX infotainment system. The unit can be controlled through myriad functions that include a touchpad on the center console, steering-wheel-mounted controls, and voice commands. The latter are intended to be an intuitive alternative to traditional switchgear, but our past experiences have failed to prove the value of this technology. Every E53 also comes standard with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a Burmester stereo, and wireless charging.

Nice video.
I'm in a C Class right now, looking forward to upgrading as a personal birthday gift next year. This model is interesting but I love the AMG CLA 45.
