Check out the Mercedes AMG E53 Cheat Sheet here: redriven.com/cheat-sheets/use...
Based on the fifth-generation W213 Mercedes E-Class produced from 2016, the AMG tuned and engineered E43, E53 and E63 variants represent the high-performance examples of Merc's iconic mid to high-range model.
A mid-life facelift in 2021 has seen the AMG W213 models receive updated front and rear fascias while inside, COMAND has been replaced by MBUX with a 12.3-inch touchscreen and revised touch-sensitive controls. Driver-assistance and safety technology was also updated.
While all AMG E-Class models provide superb levels of performance and luxury, just how much power and performance you require is obviously subjective, however, we feel this is the sweet spot in the range.

At ReDriven, we’ll be taking you through the pros and cons of a huge range of used cars to see how well they’re going now that they’re a few years old, have thousands of kilometres on the clock, and are coming toward the end of their warranty, or maybe don’t have one at all.
Plus, thanks to our resident mechanic, Jim, you’ll find out what commonly goes wrong with them and what might need to be fixed.
Most importantly, we want to make ReDriven a voice for the most in-the-know used car experts there are...you guys.. See, you’re the ones that actually buy, live with, love and sometimes unfortunately hate the cars we’ll be reviewing.
So we want to hear your thoughts. Hit us up in the comments, or on Instagram and Facebook.
We’d love nothing more than for you to give us as much feedback as possible, so we can make this channel the best it can be.

I’ve had mine since 2019 and done 56,000 trouble free miles, it’s still on original disks and pads! It’s a great car for long European trips. The traction in ice and snow is fantastic with continental winter tyres, it also has the benefit of being able to raise the ride height for driving in deep snow, hard slush and across fields. The comfort is great. Highly recommend.

I was fortunate enough to buy a 2 year old used E53 AMG in the UK three months ago. Came with 2 year warranty. Absolutely love it, no issues so far. Get in it and drive it off, you can feel the torque and it just makes you smile, well, it makes me smile anyway. 🙂

E53 adaptive headlight system issues highlighted! Hi from the UK and thanks for highlighting the adaptive headlight issue that my March 2019 model purchased by me in December 2021 had until last week. A trip to the MB dealer for a reconfigure of system for about 2 hours seems to have sorted. I watched several reviews prior to purchase but you guys were the only ones to highlight the adaptive headlight inherrent fault. Well done!

Am driving this for past 27 months and it is an absolute joy. Located in Singapore, much of the driving is in urban condition with 60% city driving. Fuel consumption I am getting is around between 11-11.5l/100km. To be honest, it surprises many to learn of how good the FC is for an AMG when you compare that with other AMG ranged models. Power delivery and performance can easily get you in trouble with the authorities. But I always believed that for safety reasons, this power delivery is essential to get you out of dangerous situations. With the EQ boost cum mild-hybrid generator, with stop/start function switched on, you hardly notice any vibration from the engine like any other car. The only qualm I have about this car is that tyre changes for the front 2 wheels are between 14,000km-22,000km on average. Learnt this is due to the toe-in configuration coupled with the power delivery from the engine does cause tire wear more than you are used to for any other rides. However, the rear tires last twice that of the front. I have had issues with the whining sound coming from underneath the car most recently. They have changed the 2 driveshafts (4 wheel drive) and subsequently, the front axle is covered under warranty. But the sound still persists despite leaving it at the dealer's workshop for a month. I am required to send it back to have it ratified yet again within the warranty period which is 3 years or 100,000kms here. In consultation with Germany over my car issue, understood they have not encountered this problem is shown some interest to understand what might be the problem. Apart from that, felt it is a very reliable engine (straight 6). I would highly recommend this car to anyone who is considering buying one.

@@maksympylypenko7293 , the whining sound apparently is still there even after changing both front and rear axle, 48 volt electrical motor, 2 drive shafts under warranty, so basically the entire drive mechanism. There is really nothing else could be done to eradicate this issue and have to live with it. The sound is somewhat muted now. All said and done, it is still a really good car for daily driving with much pleasure. I would still recommend to buy it.

Having owned one of these in the UK for 3 years and 19k miles, I can confirm that it’s an excellent everyday car. The 3-litre straight six engine is creamy and strong and the car feels solid as a rock. Mpg not bad either. On long runs I get up to 38 mpg and overall I’ve averaged 29.1 mpg. I usually change my car every 2 or 3 years but I’m going to keep this one and run it until the day comes when I’m ready to go electric. Not yet.

I think you actually might be wrong about the exhaust sound being piped through the sound system. From my (admittedly brief research) the true quad exhaust 43 and 53 models are just that. A true quad exhaust. My 2021 GLC 43 does not artificially enhance the exhaust note through the sound system so I am hoping that is the case with this model.

@ReDriven
@ReDriven 2 года назад
Cheers Fred! LOVED this E Class but honestly, I LOVED the S Class as well. It's amazing that the two cars have aged so incredibly differently. The S Class we featured is actually owned by one of my best mates Dads and I've been involved with it from the day he collected it from the dealership. I can categorically say that it has been thoroughly looked after but unfortunately, just has a few gremlins. However, we feel this is to be expected when these cars are so complex. Every brand will have an example of a car that doesn't quite meet what's expected of it and we just felt with the S Class, it was important that we showed that even the best cars can have their issues. - AK

@emergingit 2 года назад
This segment from Redriven is spot on. A new owner could have spent $270k for one of these and the depreciation is frightening. This car will be worth $35k in not too long dropping to $20k as the KM's are racked up. And the main reason for this is the cost of ownership outside of warranty is scary. And things go wrong that ridiculously expensive to fix. If you are DIY mechanic with patience and shop for parts overseas these cars can be kept on the road as the AMG engines are bulletproof, it's everything they hang off them that sometimes aren't. European cars in general can be expensive outside of warranty some worse than others.

Having owned one for a year before I went back to bmw, I can say I wouldn't have another to be honest. I can't fault the design, I absolutely loved the interior and exterior. Faults, this is where I had issues. For the money they charge for it, I was disappointed. I had suspension issues, specifically top strut mounts. Sos system faults and the worst was the digital cockpit. It just randomly goes dark, apparently an overheating graphics chip is the problem. They say "just switch the car off for 40 minutes and it's fine. It isn't fine for money it costs. They didn't ever repair it even after they changed the screen, the fault just came back.

I recently did a 1000km roadtrip in Germany in one of these. It's a brilliant car for long hauls. The autopilot works great and makes it super relaxing to drive. On the other hand, put it into Sport Mode and it becomes alert and fun to drive, despite the massive weight. My only criticism would be that there's too much going on on the big screens and operating all the sub menu's while driving takes your eyes a bit off the road. I find BMW's iDrive quite a bit more intuitive. And I found the economy a bit disappointing, considered the Hybrid power train: Yes, you CAN drive it with 7-8l/100km (10-11l/100km on the German Autobahn). However, a BMW 540i will easily match those numbers without having an expensive and complicated hybrid power train. Oh, and I feel sorry for you Aussies. You can really get one of these used in Europe for €50-55k.

Whoops, I stuffed up there sorry mate. The design language is so similar, especially at night, I think I assumed it was the E Class. Incredible work for picking that up. My apologies for dropping the ball and hope the rest of the video makes up for it. - AK

Hi mate, my watch in this vid was the Seiko SRPG05J but fitted with a Black Leather strap. It's a re-release of sorts (or homage) to the 60's style Seiko SARG015. - AK

Here I thought we'd be getting the should you buy a Grand Cherokee and we get the Mercedes instead. Well played boys well played. Good video as per usual guys and recommended your channel to a boss of a business to check out for your reviews on tradie buses and cars in general. And a couple of fun ones that you could do as a video if you wanted are best and worst roads to drive in each state and territory of Australia and best and worst forbies (4x4s) tracks for beginners.

I guess Merc has gotten it’s crap together in the last few years when it comes to build quality. I know it’s got very low kms on it but still is nowhere near as shitty as the s class Adam reviewed before in terms of its build quality and leather quality. I guess this E represents the “best” in “best or nothing” while that S was the “nothing”. Also am I too much of a nerd for noticing that dark interior shot is of an s class instead of an E? You can tell from the central analog clock that’s lit and the slightly different central console design
