The Mercedes-AMG E 63 S family has been updated for the 2021 model year with new looks. Like lesser E-Class models recently updated, the new E 63 S benefits from a raft of visual modifications. These changes start at the front where Mercedes has installed a fresh set of LED headlights, a new bumper, and a revised Panamericana front grille. The front splitter has also been tweaked and is available in Silver Shadow as standard, in high-gloss black as part of the optional AMG Night Package or in carbon fiber through the available AMG Exterior Carbon-Fiber Package I.

Alterations continue at the rear with the most obvious change being slimmer and more angular taillights. The taillights of the E 63 S Estate are a touch different and have the same shape as the outgoing model albeit with different inner graphics to mimic those of the sedan. The latest AMG model also comes standard with a lip spoiler available in color-matched paint or in carbon fiber.


The interior will be very familiar to current E 63 owners but does include the latest MBUX infotainment system with a large touchscreen and a touchpad. Another new addition to the cabin is a re-designed steering wheel that includes touch buttons with haptic feedback.

Driving the 2021 Mercedes-AMG E 63 S remains a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged that churns out 603 hp and 850 Nm of torque in both Sedan and Wagon guises. This engine is paired with an AMG Speedshift nine-speed dual-clutch transmission powering all four wheels. Mercedes says the sedan can hit 96 km/h in 3.3 seconds while the Wagon completes the same sprint in 3.4 seconds.


The facelifted E 63 S comes outfitted with AMG Ride Control+ suspension with fully supporting multi-chamber air suspension and adaptive adjustable damping that offers three different settings; Comfort, Sport, and Sport+. Drift Mode also comes standard, allowing drivers to have all the available power sent to the rear wheels.

Braking is provided by six-piston front calipers biting down on 391 mm (15.4-inch) discs while the rear sports single-piston floating calipers and 360 mm (14.2-inch) discs. Enlarged AMG Carbon Ceramic brakes are available as an option. Pricing details for the 2021 Mercedes-AMG E 63 S Sedan and Wagon have yet to be announced.
