NEW 2020 AMG E53 and E Class! First Look with Mr AMG!

Welcome back to RBR guys and today we can take the covers off the new E Class facelift, a facelift that’s the most significant for E-Class since the w212 major facelift, and since the car’s inception! And today we’re looking at both the AMG Line and a significant update to the new AMG E53 Sedan!
For the first 213, continued the treatment of the two light graphic from the previous 211 and 212 E Classes, with two strong eyebrows. It’s a much more muscular car than previous E Classes, though the design took criticism from many for being too similar to both C and S Class: despite Mercedes arguing that all Mercedes should look the same.
Enter this new facelift, the biggest one ever visually. Completely changing the look of both the front and the rear of the car making it almost unrecognisable! Mercedes concentrated on three main areas of changes - Design, New engines, and Intelligence!
As for the E 53, it’s a car that we originally found to be more Mercedes than AMG, the facelift of the E Class brings more AMG DNA into the equation, So now we’re going to look at every juicy detail of the new AMG E53! The first entry level E Class AMG was the E43, a raw sounding V6 turbo car, with not much to scream about in AMG design. With standard petrol engine style exhaust tips with a line between them, and a diamond AMG Grille.
The updated AMG E53 came shortly after following in the footsteps of the CLS 53 we reviewed. Now with quad round pipes but the no the benefit of the twin grille of the coupe, it had a seriously sweet inline six EQ boost hybrid engine - more on this later.
But the design problem remained, as did the car’s lean towards normal Mercedes rather than AMG. By the end of it’s life most entry level AMG’s had either the twin bar grille, or even the full AMG grille as in the GT53. Pair those things together, and it wasn’t much of an AMG experience.
Enter this new facelift! And boy has the design changed, AMG have injected the necessary DNA to help the look of the new E53, let’s explore it all!

[@nanaokyere7141]

Knowing that the E is Mercedes's favorite car, the facelift for the E has always been a preview to what the next gen S class would look like. I like this new look for the E but the back lights I'm not a fan of. I personally loved the last models crystal back lights and wished they'd maybe evolve them and stick with those instead.

[@CP-vg4vy]

They changed them because people were saying the pre face lift had a rounded feminine looking back. As soon as they make it aggressive, people complain.

[@DanielSadjadian]

Next gen S class will surely look better than this.

[@CP-vg4vy]

CengizhanMilfhuntürk Its an AMG performance model, why would you have it looking elegant like if it was an sclass. You need the design to be aggressive in order to compete with other companies. I wouldn’t want a fast family sedan to look like a boat but rather something that has a mean presence on the road.

[@nesttea2239]

i like the old design more. This one has a less elegant and cheaper appearance.

[@nesttea2239]

@@1990Thunderbolt I agree that they looked similar. But that more just elevated the presence of the C and E class, which may cannibalize the S class sales. For Mercedes' sake, I think it helps to have more distinguishment between each model, though. Because a big part of the higher end models is to show off.

[@jazzt3839]

I love it 🤷🏻‍♂️ Mercedes are absolutely nailing their interiors just now, can’t think of anything better in each of their classes.

[@BfoSHIZnats]

As much as I like the panamericana grill I think it looks best on the AMG GT and SUV models. I actually prefer the previous E face lift design better. The light bars in the headlights and taillights are iconic for 1, 2 and 3 lines to show the class. Now it just looks like it has CLA headlights. I think the 2 light bars in the taillights looked great and the C glass had it for a while strangely but now none of their cars have it.
