Look, I’ve already sung the praises of the wagons. I have waxed of their practicality; She shook my fist in the sky and howled him on his aesthetic superiority. I have left it abundantly to clear that I am in the team’s car, and therefore, the fact that 2021 Mercedes-AMG E 63 S Wagon has an early advantage with me, should come so little surprise.
Anyway, AMG clearly knows that all not everyone feels in the same way, and, as such, this particular wagon comes out little in their search to provide the Naysayers. Its $ 112,450 (plus $ 1,050 destination) gives you a 4.0-liter Biturbo V8 engine with 603 horsepower and 627 LB-FT torque, 9-speed 9-speed transmission of AMG, 4MATIC + traction performance Outdoors and sports air suspension.
$ 3,950 Add the glorious blue magnetic blue paint, an impressive matte finish that will have dazzled suspiciously to each bird or an outstanding tree. $ 8,950 swaps Standard high performance composite brakes for carbon-ceramic versions; $ 2,000 adds the 20-inch forged wheels. $ 1,750 Shot of outer carbon fiber moorings, $ 900 Add more advanced LED lights, $ 750 Swaps The Chrome for bright black fit parts, and $ 450 Dark-Tints The Grille.
It is a lot to spend a lot to spend, and that is before things like the $ 1,950 driver assistance package, an access screen of $ 1,100 and an acoustic comfort pack of $ 1,100. By the time Mercedes-AMG was performed, this particular E 63 S car is registered at $ 137,850.
It is overwhelming but attractive, and in the defense of AMG, it feels like a car about $ 140k. You could say the same for the experience behind the steering wheel.
0-60 MPH comes in 3.4 seconds, says Mercedes, and that is legitimately impressive. You would need a highway and steel nerves to reach the higher limits of the power of E 63 S. The maximum speed is an electronically restricted 180 mph. On American roads, with our annoying speed restrictions, a point and a jet is generally enough to take it to the stage where losing your license could be a real danger.
The total AMG traction system is a marvel, and the grip is never in question. The car can change the power between the left and right rear wheels, as well as between the front and rear, maximizing traction and helping to prevent the rear end from darkening on the turns. Were you found a clue? Which I suspect that few owners of E 63 will go to the hassle of doing it, more is compassion, there is a manner of drift that leaves only the rear traction of the car, only for entertainment of the hairdressing tail.
It is a large car, and a relatively heavy car, but a center of gravity and intelligent cushions wear any body roll sign. The direction is beautifully weighted, and although the brakes are prodigious, they are not recorded (or squeaks) with it. The drive modes and AMG settings are crowded, and if desired, you can individually adjust each subsection. Or, as I did, simply torces the Little Screen-Toting mode dial on the steering wheel around the notch between comfort, sport, sport + and race.
At the end of comfort of that scale, things are measured if it is not exactly placid. As with any electronic class, it can awaken along a limousine, the suspension of a tuned air for the cosseting. However, there is no real restriction in power, so more than a grass of your right foot and things forward, like a rhinoceros.
Step through the most aggressive modes, meanwhile, and emerge the true spirit of E 63. It is simply a sports car in the family cosplay.
To give it due, the AMG is committed to that masquerade. Together with the spacious cabin there is a long list of security technology. Automatic emergency braking, blind spot attendance, 360 degree beds and active parking assistance are all standard. The driver’s assistance package adds cruise control adaptable with lane maintenance and automatic lane change, active brake assistance with cross traffic, EVS management assistance, active lane maintenance and blind spot , assistance, adaptation at speed based on the route, back collisions of the rear end, and more.
