The current generation of The Mercedes E-Class arrived as early as 2017, meaning it was developed long before the conversion to electrified. And it really shows.

The build quality is wonderfully solid, the V8 gives electric car acceleration and it’s plenty quick on the race tracks, while comfort is now really nice thanks to a bit softer suspension in comfort mode. The possibility of disconnecting the four-wheel drive should not be or is underestimated. But the facelift also gave a somewhat sad sound-related side effect.

Peder gives the car his declaration of love: “I love that cars like this are still being built – so much fun! This banishes me better than the S-Class.” As usual, Peder answers questions from viewers and shares his best workout tips, for those who want to look like Peder, or not.

In fact, it’s the latest AMG-E class that doesn’t have the help of an electric motor – and it doesn’t need one either if performance is talking. But there will be even sharper and more electrically tuned AMG cars in the future, with a focus on performance.

Is the AMG E63 faster around Ös We Ring and get the highest overall rating than the worst competitor Audi RS6? No other car magazine can provide the answers to these two important questions!
