All-New 2026 Mercedes-AMG E53 Wagon: Hybrid Performance with More Versatility

For performance enthusiasts and families across Ontario who refuse to choose between thrilling acceleration and everyday versatility, the 2026 Mercedes-AMG E 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+ Wagon delivers both. This marks the first performance hybrid wagon from Mercedes-AMG available in Canada, bringing plug-in hybrid technology to the wagon segment with 604 hp, all-electric driving capability, and the cargo space families need.

The AMG E 53 HYBRID Wagon arrives this fall at Mercedes-Benz Brampton, offering drivers in Brampton a vehicle that transitions effortlessly from zero-emission commutes to spirited weekend drives. With an electric range of 66 km and a 3.9-second sprint to 100 km/h, this wagon redefines what performance utility means for Ontario drivers.

Performance Credentials: AMG Meets Electrification

The 2026 AMG E 53 HYBRID Wagon pairs an AMG-enhanced 3.0L inline-6 turbo engine with a 161-hp electric motor integrated into the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission. The result is a combined system output of 577 hp as standard, or 604 hp with the optional RACE START feature. Combined torque reaches 553 lb-ft, delivered through AMG Performance 4MATIC+ fully variable all-wheel drive.

Acceleration from 0-100 km/h takes just 3.9 seconds—faster than many dedicated sports cars—while the electronically limited top speed sits at 250 km/h. For those wanting more, the optional AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package raises the top speed to 280 km/h and adds features like an AMG limited-slip rear differential and AMG High Performance Composite Brake System with 15.4-inch front brake discs.

Standard active rear-axle steering and AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension with adaptive adjustable damping ensure the wagon handles with precision and agility, whether navigating city streets or carving through rural Ontario roads.

Electric Capability and Efficiency

The P2 hybrid system features a 400-volt, 28.6-kWh battery positioned below the trunk floor, maintaining full cargo utility. Of the total capacity, 21.2 kWh is available for everyday driving, while the remaining energy reserves power dynamic acceleration boosts.

Pure electric driving is possible up to 140 km/h, with a certified electric range of 66 km—sufficient for most daily commutes in the Greater Toronto Area. When operating in electric mode, the combined fuel consumption equivalent is 4.2 Le/100 km. Once the battery depletes, the vehicle continues with impressive efficiency at 10.5 L/100 km combined fuel consumption in hybrid mode, delivering a total range of 579 km on gasoline.

AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive modes include unique "Electric" and "Battery Hold" settings. Electric mode prioritizes zero-emission driving for short trips, while Battery Hold mode preserves battery charge for later use—ideal for saving electric range for emissions-restricted zones or maximizing performance during spirited driving.

Charging Details:

• DC fast charging: 60 kW
• AC charging: 9.6 kW
• Charging time: 2.75 hours (AC)

Wagon Versatility Without Compromise

Despite its performance credentials, the AMG E 53 HYBRID Wagon delivers authentic wagon practicality. The cargo area offers space for family gear, sports equipment, or weekend getaways, with the battery packaging designed to preserve trunk floor height and usability.

Standard features include a 17-speaker, 730-watt Burmester 4D Surround Sound System, while the optional MBUX Superscreen Package adds a 12.3-inch display for the front passenger, creating an expansive digital cockpit. AMG-specific displays provide hybrid system information, battery status, and performance data.

Interior personalization options include AMG ARTICO/Microfibre and AMG Nappa leather upholsteries, the optional AMG Performance Seat Package Advanced, and a variety of interior trims. The AMG Performance steering wheel is available in multiple finishes, allowing drivers to tailor the cabin to their preferences.

Exterior Design and Personalization

The wagon's sleek, modern silhouette features distinctive AMG styling elements and aerodynamic refinements. A palette of 12 exterior paint colours includes four exclusive MANUFAKTUR hues for those seeking a more personalized look.

Standard 20-inch AMG 5-Twin Spoke wheels establish the performance aesthetic, while optional 20-inch AMG 10-Twin Spoke or 21-inch AMG Forged Cross-Spoke wheels in multiple finishes provide further customization. The optional AMG Night Package, AMG Night Package Plus, and AMG Exterior Carbon Fibre Package add darker styling elements for a more aggressive appearance.

Edition 1: Limited Exclusivity

For 2026, Mercedes-AMG offers an exclusive limited Edition 1 model featuring MANUFAKTUR paint with unique AMG graphics, distinctive exterior accents, and 21-inch AMG Forged Cross-Spoke wheels. The specially curated interior includes unique design elements and an extensive suite of standard equipment, making it the most distinctive variant in the lineup.

Which AMG E 53 HYBRID Wagon Configuration is Right for You?

Standard Configuration suits drivers who want AMG performance with everyday hybrid efficiency. The 577-hp output, electric driving capability, and comprehensive standard equipment deliver a well-rounded package for daily driving and occasional spirited runs.

AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package targets enthusiasts who prioritize maximum performance. RACE START unleashes the full 604-hp output, while the increased 280 km/h top speed, active engine mounts, and AMG limited-slip rear differential sharpen the driving experience. The AMG High Performance Composite Brake System with red calipers provides the stopping power to match.

Edition 1 appeals to those seeking exclusivity and visual distinction. The unique MANUFAKTUR paint, special graphics, and curated interior create a limited-edition expression of AMG's first hybrid wagon.
