Only 12 Mercedes-AMG E 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+ Edition 1, available in SA

MERCEDES-BENZ South Africa is proud to unveil the Mercedes-AMG E 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+ Edition 1, a limited-production model that brings electrified performance and AMG design mastery into rarefied territory.

With only 12 units brought in for the South African market, this Edition 1 model is as exclusive as it is exhilarating.

Rooted in the groundbreaking hybrid technology of the new Mercedes-AMG E 53, the Edition 1 raises the bar with unique styling cues, an exclusive colour palette, and a meticulously curated list of high-value options. It is not only a statement of innovation but also a celebration of AMG’s high-performance DNA in its most refined plug-in hybrid form to date.

At the heart of the E 53 Edition 1 lies the formidable AMG 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder turbo engine combined with a 120 kW electric motor.

Together, they generate a system output of up to 450 kW and 750 Nm of torque, delivering a breathtaking 0–100 km/h sprint in just 3.8 seconds (with RACE START).

The fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system, along with active rear-axle steering, ensures maximum traction, agility, and control in every situation.

The advanced hybrid system features a 28.6 kWh high-voltage battery (usable 21.22kWh), enabling pure electric driving for over 100 km.

Ideal for everyday city commutes, this electric range also supports the car’s performance aspirations, with electric assistance always on standby to provide immediate torque and responsiveness.
