The Mercedes-AMG E 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+ - AMG drive programs with a wide spread

From efficient to dynamic: the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs are precisely tailored to the drive technology of the plug-in hybrid. They adjust important parameters such as the response of the drive and transmission, the steering characteristics, the suspension damping and the sound. In addition to the familiar "Comfort", "Sport", "Sport+", "Slippery" and "Individual" drive programs, the new Mercedes-AMG E 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+ features two hybrid-specific drive programs: "Electric" and "Battery Hold". As standard, the electrified 53 model starts silently in the "Electric" drive program when the electric motor is switched on. The "Ready" icon in the instrument cluster signals that the vehicle is ready to drive. In "Electric", purely electric driving then takes place with the 120 kW (163 hp) electric motor with a range of up to over 100 kilometers. If the battery charge level is too low or the driver requires more power in the meantime and overcomes the pressure point of the haptic accelerator pedal, the intelligent operating strategy switches automatically: The combustion engine kicks in and takes over the drive power as required.
