Daimler AG’s 2019 Mercedes-AMG E53 sedan will feature a 3.0-liter inline-6 engine with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system.
The new I-6 engine will be paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, which is carried over from the E43. The mild-hybrid system’s integrated starter-generator can provide a temporary boost of 21 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque during high engine loads. This allows the car to sprint from zero to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds on its way to an electronically limited top speed of 130 mph.
The I-6 and 48-volt battery system also will be used in the 2019 CLS53 and E53 coupe and convertible, all of which will be introduced later this year.
Styling changes for the E53 sedan include twin “power bulge” hood creases, a redesigned rear deck lid, pronounced rear diffuser and a quad exhaust system. The interior features a new dual-screen cockpit display, sport seats and custom trim options that include real carbon fiber.
