2021 Mercedes-AMG E63S [First Drive & Full 4K Review]

2021 Mercedes-AMG E63S: First drive and full 4K review of this newly redesigned 2021 Mercedes Benz E63S AMG. I tested this luxury sedan for the past week and got to know it inside and out. This extensive Mercedes car review includes exterior shots, driving clips, exhaust noises, interior footage, launch control and POV driving scenes. The launch control was my favorite. (time stamped below)
____________________________
What should I review next? How about the 2021 Mercedes S Class, Mercedes Benz AVTR (Vision AVTR), Mercedes Benz GLB 250, Mercedes Maybach GLS600, 2021 Mercedes G550, 2021 C Class, or the 2021 GLS63? Let me know which Mercedes Sedan or Mercedes SUV you want me to review next. I can’t want to see what 2022 Mercedes models they come out with in 2022.
____________________________
First we take a look at the exterior of the 2021 Mercedes E63 S. 0:22
Next we listen to the exhaust of the 2021 E63 S. 3:31
Then we take a look at the interior of the 2021 Mercedes E63S. 3:50
Then we dive into the 12.3 Inch Display Screens (12.3 inch touchscreen display and widescreen instrument cluster) 6:38
Lastly, we go out and drive the E63 S on the road. 11:13
I test out the launch control of the 2021 Mercedes E63S AMG and it is extremely fast! The launch throws you back in your seat and as you see in the review I am stunned! Mercedes Launch Control is at 16:46
____________________________
We have a handcrafted AMG 4.0L Biturbo V8 Engine producing 603 Horsepower (HP) and 627 lb-ft of torque. We also have the AMG Dynamic select, AMG Performance Exhaust System, AMG Speedshift MCT 9-speed Transmission, AMG Performance 4MATIC+ with Drift Mode, AMG Drive Unit and Steering Wheel Buttons and AMG Sport Suspension to name a few.
The exterior color of this vehicle is Designo Selenite Grey Magno.
The three most distinctive changes on this 2021 Mercedes model are the updates to the front grille, the back end and the interior updates of the steering wheel and MBUX (now new to the E Class Mercedes).
This 2021 Mercedes E63S has redesigned headlamps and our test vehicle had the optional exterior lighting package giving us the LED intelligent light system and Adaptive high beam assist.
These headlamps anchor in our vertical bar AMG grille (Panamericana) with 13 vertical slats with an A wing design. The predecessor E class (2020 Mercedes E Class) had an V wing design. The Mercedes Three point star houses some of our sensors for the safety features.
As part of the AMG carbon fiber Exterior 1 Package, we had carbon fiber on the front splitter, lower rocker panels, above the V8 Bitrubo 4Matic+ indication, and above the rear diffuser.
We have gorgeous 20” AMG Forged Cross Spoke wheels in matte black and the AMG Carbon Ceramic Braking System with bronze painted calipers.
Our test vehicle had the AMG night package(high gloss black touches on the mirror housings, window frame trim, black chrome exhaust tips and several other areas).
The back end has been dramatically reshaped and we now have horizontal oriented LED tail lamps that extend out onto the rear boot.
As far as cargo space. We’ve got 13.1 cubic feet and a 40/20/40 split on the rear seats.
This 2021 Mercedes gives us new textured tailpipes with grooves on the inside and out finished in black chrome.
I think this exhaust has a great sound to it and I love the back burbles on deceleration.
Our press car had heated seats as well as ventilated seats. These beautiful seats were finished in black exclusive Nappa leather with silver stitching and silver seatbelts and had AMG embossment on the headrests
We had 13 Burmester speakers located throughout the cabin with 590 watts.
The E-class now has the Mercedes Benz User Experience or MBUX.
My favorite update to this 2021 E63 S is the new AMG Performance steering wheel with a twin spoke and flat bottom design. The AMG Drive Unit Steering Wheel Button makes me feel like I am in a rocket and turning the dial in preparation for blast off.
Shmee150 was lucky enough to open this 2021 E63S up on the AutoBahn and push it to its limits.

I own a AMG E63-S ( Previous Generation) To me this car is a perfect example Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde It's simple smooth and refined* Yet a total Beast when you press your right foot down. It does this all without compromising safety elegance and class. Owner ship costs Insurance runs about 1200-1750 a year, Maintenance runs 300 to 550 per service once a year and what else, It's been rock solid reliable for me. factory extended warranty run about $4000 for 100,000 Extra miles figures in USD,

I reviewed a 2020 and a 2019 AMG E 63 S and this re-designed 2021 is the real deal. V8 Biturbo engine sounds incredible - bangs & pops - over 603 HP is glorious. AMG Night package w/ all the high gloss black elements is a must have. Carbon Fiber package is a must have. Burmester surround sound system. I would buy this E 63 S over a C 63 S (although, expect a re-designed C 63 S for 2021).

[@Drive615]

I totally agree, this car is the real deal! The re-design was on point and fits this car perfectly! Thanks for watching!
