  • The Mercedes AMG E 53 falls perfectly in the sweet spot of the the E-class lineup. Under the hood is a 3.0L inline-6 with electric assist pumps out 429 HP & mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. It's exterior is very purposeful without being over done. On the inside you will find sport and luxury all around you. Is the 2020 Mercedes AMG E 53 the BEST of both worlds?

    Took delivery of my 2020 fully loaded E53 in late March. Quickly completed the 1000 miles run-in. So far I love my E53 in Senenite Gray Metalic, and most importantly its performance, smooth and fast acceleration.

      @@unfortunatechild So far after clocked in over 14,000 miles and slightly over 3 years, I have no issues with my E53. Real reliable. Over last 13 years, I bought 2 E350, 1 ML350, 1 GLE400, a GLE53AMG, and the E53AMG. Each was driven less than 5500 miles a year. I like best is my E53AMG followed by my newest GLE53AMG. A good balance between luxury and performance

    The front “enclosed” grills on either side of the splitter are functional. They act aerodynamically to push airflow past the wheels. There’s a gap there at “the black curtains” as you called them. I think it’s important to do some research before making videos and giving “expert” opinion. I don’t like the look either, they perhaps could have used black or carbon smooth ducts rather than the fake grills.
