With its 603-hp V-8 and focused chassis tuning, AMG's E63 S wagon is the antithesis of SUV-inspired wagons with plastic body cladding and raised suspensions.
The 2021 Mercedes-AMG E63 S wagon is a rare and compelling mix of automotive rocketry and daily-use practicality. Roomy and luxurious as well as seriously quick, it is one of few mega-performance luxury wagons currently available. It's also exclusive: Only a few hundred E63 S wagons will be sold in the United States in the 2021 model year.
The E63 S wagon has serious performance chops; it shares its platform and major mechanical pieces with the stunning Mercedes-AMG GT63 S four-door coupe. The wagon's twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 makes 603 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque.
The E63 S wagon's standard twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 channels its output through an AMG-tune nine-speed automatic transmission and 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system.
The E63 S wagon accelerates like a supercar. Our 4683-pound test car shot to 60 mph in 3.0 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 11.1 seconds at 122 mph. Top speed is electronically governed to 180 mph.
The E63 S wagon grabs on to the pavement with an impressive 1.00 g of skidpad grip.
The AMG-tuned 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system includes Drift mode, which disconnects the front axle and sends all of the power to the rear, enabling tire-smoking drifts and burnouts— should you be willing to sacrifice the car's expensive Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S summer tires.
As with the rest of the E-class lineup, the E63 S wagon was given a light refresh for the 2021 model year. Changes for the wagon include the addition of Mercedes's latest MBUX infotainment system, a new AMG sport steering wheel, a new front bumper cover, and a toothy AMG GT-style grille with vertical slats.
The MBUX infotainment system is comprehensive yet complicated. It incorporates multiple menus and sub-menus that offer the driver a broad-range of control over almost all of the in-car experience.
The MBUX system can be controlled three ways: through the dash-mounted touchscreen, via the center-console touchpad, or by the plethora of steering-wheel controls.
The four spokes on the new AMG sport steering wheel are packed with small buttons and two touchpads that control the main MBUX touchscreen, the driver information display, and more. The wheel's touchpads proved overly sensitive and difficult to use.
The E63 S wagon's interior is handsome and luxuriously appointed, with standard items including heated armrests on the center console and front doors, a Burmester audio system, lighted doorsill plates, leather upholstery, and heated and ventilated front seats.
