The 2025 Mercedes-Benz E53 AMG Hybrid Estate has been known in global markets for some time, but the UK version now takes shape with specifications that align with local buyers. It pairs the versatility of an estate body with AMG’s hybrid performance strategy, focusing on both speed and efficiency.
Exterior and Identity
The UK version of the E53 AMG Hybrid retains the distinctive AMG design cues already seen on international models. Wider front fenders, an AMG grille, and subtle reinforcements in the body shell highlight its higher-performance orientation. With its estate body, it balances a practical rear layout with the aggressive stance of an AMG-badged model.
Interior and AMG Details
Inside, the UK specification mirrors global models with exclusive AMG materials, a performance-focused infotainment layout, and unique trim options. The MBUX system features AMG-specific menus, adding to the car’s dual personality: everyday estate and high-performance hybrid.
Powertrain and Hybrid Technology
Under the bonnet sits the 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder turbo engine paired with a permanently excited synchronous electric motor. Together they deliver 430 kW (585 hp), or up to 450 kW (612 hp) in Race Start mode. Torque reaches 750 Nm, giving the estate immediate response and long-distance strength.
The combustion engine itself produces 330 kW (449 hp), improved through a twin-scroll turbo with higher boost pressure and upgraded cooling. The 120 kW electric motor is integrated directly into the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission, ensuring smooth power delivery in all driving situations.
Battery Capacity and Range
The 400-volt battery is placed beneath the rear floor and offers 21.22 kWh of usable capacity. For UK drivers, this means an official WLTP electric range of over 100 kilometres, with pure-electric driving possible up to 140 km/h. This makes the estate suitable for emission-restricted city areas while keeping long-distance capability intact.
Handling and Suspension
Chassis updates for the UK version are identical to other markets, with reinforced front and rear sections that improve stability and steering precision. AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension, featuring adaptive damping, balances comfort in hybrid driving with sharp AMG handling when required. The variable all-wheel-drive system ensures traction on both dry and wet roads, an important point for UK conditions.
Performance Numbers
With Race Start engaged, the E53 AMG Hybrid Estate accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. Top speed reaches 280 km/h when equipped with the AMG Driver’s Package. These figures place the estate firmly in the performance bracket, while still maintaining the everyday usability of a long-roof car.
Summary
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz E53 AMG Hybrid Estate is no stranger to performance enthusiasts, but its UK version now confirms specifications for local buyers. With 612 HP available in Race Start mode, over 100 km of electric range, and AMG handling, it offers a rare balance: estate practicality without giving up speed or hybrid efficiency.
