First Drive: 2026 Mercedes AMG E53 4MATIC+ PHEV. More power, more efficiency.

Mercedes has brought back its hairy four-door saloon back. The E53 was first launched in India back in 2021, followed by the open top version in 2023. But following the launch of the 6th generation E-Class, the E53 AMG based on this car has also arrived. Based on the standard wheelbase version (India gets only the LWB version of the E-Class), this also gets a plug-in hybrid system which has an electric motor and battery that can run the car on EV-only mode for almost 100km.
