Mercedes-Benz USA has officially announced the pricing for the highly anticipated 2026 Mercedes-AMG E 53 HYBRID Wagon, and it’s set to shake up the American market. This new electrified powerhouse combines the heart-pounding performance of an AMG with the everyday practicality and efficiency of a plug-in hybrid.
Starting at an MSRP of $93,350 (with a total base price of $94,500 including the $1,150 destination fee), the E 53 HYBRID Wagon offers a compelling value proposition. While a nearly six-figure price tag is far from “cheap,” it’s a remarkably aggressive entry point when compared to its key rivals, the BMW M5 Touring and the Audi RS 6 Avant, which start at significantly higher prices.
But the E 53 HYBRID Wagon is more than just a smart buy—it’s a technological marvel. Under the hood, it boasts an AMG-enhanced 3.0-liter inline-six turbo engine paired with a powerful electric motor. This innovative hybrid system delivers a combined output of 577 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. For those seeking maximum thrills, the optional AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package unlocks the “RACE START” function, boosting horsepower to a staggering 604 hp and enabling a 0-60 mph sprint in as little as 3.7 seconds.
Beyond its raw power, this wagon is a testament to intelligent engineering. The plug-in hybrid system allows for an impressive all-electric range of up to 41 miles, making daily commutes and errands whisper-quiet and emissions-free. It even features a 60 kW DC fast-charging capability, allowing for a 10% to 80% charge in a mere 20 minutes—a feature rarely seen in a PHEV.
The new AMG E 53 HYBRID Wagon isn’t just a car; it’s a statement. It’s for the driver who refuses to compromise on performance or practicality, who needs space for family and gear but craves the adrenaline of a track day. With its arrival at U.S. dealerships in early fall 2025, the electrified AMG wagon is ready to redefine what a performance vehicle can be.
