Mercedes-AMG E53 2022 review | slick six-cylinder coupe tested | Chasing Cars 

Easily one of the most informative reviews I've seen on YT - thank you for covering all the important minor details, too. (BTW, would have loved to have heard the engine roar)

Such an enthusiastic review. Well done Ponch! Stunningly beautiful E-coupé, inside and out. Perfect for a spirited long country drive with the stereo blaring.

I watch a lot of youtube car reviews and i wanted to jump on here and tell you that you are a great car reviewer. nice job. now, i'm going to look for more of your videos. 😄😄 "ball tearing" 😄😄

I’ve owned and driven a c63s but I really love this e53s I might pick one up in the future but watching this video really makes me want to pull the trigger sooner rather than later

great review!

Just bought a E53 Coupe 2013 model... Great Review

Looks great!

Beautifully smooth in-line 6 with perfect balance, yes please. Shame they aren’t putting this engine in the C class

Straight six = god tier

Not a mainstream car, $175k even for AMG is a bit too much.

Nice, honest review for a nice car. I wonder if Mercedes will still be making 6 and 8 cylinder engines for at least the next 10 years as per BMW's recent announcement. That interior looks too 'chintzy' for me though.

looks like my next car

Cool video, what color would you go for?

You mentioned the E63 but, of course, you can only get that as a saloon or estate, not as a coupe. I tried the coupe and the saloon back to back and bought the saloon partly because it felt more solid. Being pillarless certainly seems to cost the coupe some of its rigidity. The saloon, especially in premium plus and with the night pack, looks, in my view, just as good as the coupe. Great engine and really economical. I have driven on the German autobahns in it…. wow did it go.

Hey Nathan, you said you don’t like this car in silver and I agree, I’m buying a used one in Manufaktur Opalite Bright White, your thoughts about the colour please?? Interior is black with red stitching.

Love it.

I really miss the big V8 engines of Mercedes AMG cars. Hope they come back.

My 2021 e class can show CarPlay in full screen, it’s really strange they would make it like this in the latest Mbux system..

Biased but save the coupes should be a thing - makes a Mustang look like good value but a GR86/BRZ Mustang or Audi/BMW/Merc trilogy are limited options varying in affordability - this car in a colour other than grey looks substantially better than the saloon however they’re all a dying breed with e-4 door coupes maybe the future if we still want style and substance?

Anyone know where I can get that front European plate bracket from in the USA?

had one for 18 months - i thought it was brilliant - actually better than the amg gt63s i went into for only 3 months, then defected into porsche pan turbo hybrid ST. but e53 was excellent drive train - bit rigid on broads. internals good, decent driving position - loved the feel of it but not up to porsche in driving experience but different price band so unfair comparison. merc tech top notch.

What does the engine look like?

Love the detailed review as I am kind of indecisive whether I should get a E53 coupe or a GLE53 coupe. I know they belong to two different territory but really confused. One of the biggest concern is which one will depreciate fast after 5 years. I’ll appreciate any recommendations.

Great Review Ponch. This or an Audi RS5?

What year is this?

Man.... I miss Australia soooo much. I already have an E-class coupe and I really like it. I'm here mostly to listen to someone speak, Australian! BTW, silver is a very good color to have (especially in Canada), because dirt doesn't stick to it like it does on a white or dark colored car. I have always bought only black or dark ruby red, cherry red, metallic cars. But I discovered that silver cars, I only have to wash it once for every five or six times I'd have to clean a black car. I bought silver because it was the only E coupe on the lot; and if it's a Merc', color doesn't really matter to me; it's a Mercedes Benz.

Like Tom said in an earlier video, I think it's disappointing that you can't get a non-AMG six cylinder any more. I would have loved an E450 coupe, old-man spec with beige leather and polished burr walnut. As much as the E coupe is a brilliant looking car, I'm not fond of the AMG spec grill and the 'Night Package' - blacked out window surrounds and mirror caps - which you can't delete from an E53.

I have a 2018, I wasn't able to get it in the colors I want because of the inventory shortage but I absolutely love this car. I am hoping to upgrade to either the inline 6 in the '21 450 or the 53 in a few years.

E53 AMG Coupé costs $125K CAD fully specd out.

It doesn’t have wireless CarPlay?

The elite in Victoria can afford this

Where do you put your coffee?

2 door vw arteon, change my mind

3rd comment podium! Coupes are a dying breed. This Merc will go down in history as one of the very best.....for a PRICE

If they made it they would sell more E63 coupes than E53 coupes.

Very important in Switzerland? Why?

the swiss want a word with you

$172,00 Australian dollars!!!! Naw. Lovely car.

1G per year for servicing? rip off.

I think that the Mercedes coupe could improve the door placement, length and balance ( central between the wheel arches which would provide superior access to the rear seats - the Chevrolet Camaro has the perfect door ratio although it lacks legroom ) the electronic seat console on the door are the first to fail in wet weather for obvious reasons, controls belong on the centre console or dash. A rear hatch would have been an improvement for luggage access but Mercedes decided to take the cheap route. Rear reclining seats should be standard on any " Luxury " vehicle for obvious reasons and cushioning and lumbar should not be limited to the front row because " Luxury " !! Personally the digital display that stretches across 2/3rds of the interior looks cheap and removes the classic placement of the analogue clock from the optimal position. Since Mercedes bought the company that created the Stealth-drive electric performance assist they could have flexed an appropriate power upgrade but they have the bare minimum in true Mercedes fashion and in a world where 22" rims are becoming common you would expect a high end car manufacturer to step up to the plate and bat hard especially when they market it with AMG badging and while we are on the topic of performance Mercedes failed to satisfy men that prefer a real manual stick shift transmission as opposed to the limp wrist automatic for the lazy, disabled or uncoordinated drivers being approved these days that can't reverse park without a reverse camera combined with an IMAX screen on the dash so they don't even need to bother turning their arthritic necks. In closing, looks are decieving at Mercedes has camouflaged cheap for those that don't know any better

Russel Crowe take on E53 XD

Omgawd daddy Ponch sooooo hot! 🔥 😂 ❤️

You never mentioned if it's a "real AMG" or not. Was it hand built? The previous generation one was not. I can't believe you said you wouldn't buy silver. Blasphemous.

Are we saying tron legacy doesn't exist? 😂

Dude, $172k ? Check the price again ….it’s only $77,600 MSRP in US. E63 4 doors sedan is around $110K. AMG GT63 is not even $172k for MSRP, do research before posting or saying ….

Terrible review because you didn’t let us hear the engine properly

$50k overpriced. What a rip-off lol
