Mercedes-AMG E PERFORMANCE: Which Models Have It and How It Works

Quebec drivers looking for high-performance cars often ask about Mercedes-AMG E PERFORMANCE. This technology puts Formula 1 racing power into road cars. You get electric motors working with AMG engines to create more horsepower and torque than regular engines can make.

E PERFORMANCE takes hybrid systems further than other car brands. The electric parts don't just help save fuel - they make your car faster and more fun to drive. You can drive silently on electric power or use full power for quick acceleration.

What E PERFORMANCE Technology Does

How the System Works

E PERFORMANCE uses a setup called P3 hybrid. Your car has a regular AMG engine in front and an electric motor in back. The electric motor connects directly to the rear wheels through its own two-speed transmission. This means you get instant power without waiting for turbochargers to spin up.

The battery pack sits low in the car to improve balance. Mercedes-AMG borrowed this battery design from its Formula 1 race cars. The battery can cool itself quickly, so it works well even during hard driving.

You can choose different driving modes. Electric mode lets you drive quietly around town. Sport modes use both the engine and electric motor together for maximum power.

Performance Benefits You Get

The electric motor fills gaps in power delivery that turbocharged engines normally have. You feel consistent acceleration from any speed. This makes highway passing safer and city driving smoother.

The rear electric motor also helps with handling. It adds weight to the back of the car, which improves balance. AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive then sends power to all four wheels for better traction.

E PERFORMANCE Models Available in Quebec

Here are the Mercedes-AMG models that offer E PERFORMANCE technology:

2025 AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE 4-Door Coupe

This four-door sports car makes 831 horsepower and 1,084 lb-ft of torque. It goes from 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds. The car uses a hand-built 4.0-litre V8 engine plus a 150kW electric motor. You get supercar speed with room for four people.

The 6.1-kWh battery provides electric-only driving for short trips. The car works well for daily driving but can also perform on race tracks.

2025 AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE Sedan

The S 63 E PERFORMANCE luxury sedan produces 791 horsepower and 1,055 lb-ft of torque. It reaches 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds from a stop. The 13.1-kWh battery gives you more electric-only range than the GT model.

This car balances luxury with performance. You can drive quietly through the city or use full power on highways.

2025 AMG GLC 63 S E PERFORMANCE SUV

This SUV brings E PERFORMANCE to families who need cargo space. It can tow up to 1,800 kg while still delivering sports car acceleration. The higher seating position gives you better visibility while the hybrid system provides strong performance.

The GLC works well for Quebec winters with its all-wheel drive system and good ground clearance.

2025 AMG E 53 HYBRID Sedan

The E 53 HYBRID makes 577 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. It accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds. The 28.6-kWh battery pack is the largest in the E PERFORMANCE lineup, giving you the most electric-only driving range.

This model costs less than other E PERFORMANCE cars while still offering strong performance and good fuel economy.

How E PERFORMANCE Fits Quebec Driving

Quebec drivers face different conditions throughout the year. E PERFORMANCE technology handles these well:

City Driving: Electric mode lets you drive quietly through neighborhoods and downtown areas. The instant torque helps with stop-and-go traffic.

Highway Travel: The gasoline engine provides steady power for long trips across the province. The electric motor adds extra power for passing slower vehicles.

Winter Conditions: All E PERFORMANCE models come with all-wheel drive. This helps with traction on snow and ice. The low battery placement also improves stability.

Fuel Costs: You can use electric power for short trips to save on gasoline. The system switches automatically between electric and hybrid modes based on your driving.

E PERFORMANCE vs Regular AMG Models

Maintenance and Ownership

E PERFORMANCE models need regular maintenance like other Mercedes-AMG vehicles. The electric components require less service than gasoline engines. You charge the battery at home or public charging stations.

The warranty covers both the gasoline engine and electric parts. Mercedes-Benz service technicians receive special training for hybrid systems.

The Future of AMG Performance

E PERFORMANCE shows how Mercedes-AMG plans to keep making powerful cars while meeting new environmental rules. You get more power than before while using less fuel during normal driving.

The technology will likely appear in more AMG models over the next few years. Each new model will build on what Mercedes-AMG learns from current E PERFORMANCE vehicles.
