Mercedes-AMG E63 Sedan Generations: Everything You Need To Know In One Place

While the W211 E-Class went on sale in the US in 2002, the first of the Mercedes-AMG E63 Sedan generations would appear at the time of the E’s 2007 mid-cycle refresh; up to this point the quickest AMG-badged E was the E55. With an AMG-designed naturally aspirated 6.2L engine, the most hard-core E-Class was a heavy hitter, and very quick.

The redesigned MY2010 W212 continued the tradition with more power, but the facelifted 2014 W212 lost the naturally aspirated 6.2L engine to a smaller twin-turbo 5.5L V8 with even more power and AWD. The engine would be downsized even further to 4.0L for the W213, but power was more than ever at 603 hp. The latest of the AMG E63 generations is still in the pipeline.

2021-2023 Mercedes-AMG E63 Sedan W213 (5th Gen) Facelift

The last E63 model year would be 2021, with the performance trim carrying over the same 603-hp V8 powertrain in facelifted format.

2018-2020 Mercedes-AMG E63 Sedan W213 (5th Gen)

The W213 dropped the old 5.5L V8 in favor of a heavily boosted 4.0L V8, now with 603 hp and a nine-speed automatic transmission in the default E63 S trim.​​​​​​​

2014-2016 Mercedes-AMG E63 Sedan W212 (4th Gen) Facelift

For its final 2014-2016 model years, the Mercedes-AMG E63 Sedan received a major facelift and a mechanical overhaul, with the high-revving naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 exchanged for a twin-turbocharged 5.5L V8 with 550 hp, now with standard 4Matic AWD. There was also an E63 S with 577 hp, with the regular 550-hp E63 discontinued for MY2016.

2010-2013 Mercedes-AMG E63 Sedan W212 (4th Gen)

Starting with the 2010+ model years, a redesign of the Mercedes-AMG 63 Sedan accompanied the similarly redesigned lineup or other E-Class trims, now called the W212. The E63 now had 518 hp.

2007-2009 Mercedes-AMG E63 Sedan W211 (3rd Gen)

The mid-cycle refresh of the W211 for the 2007 model year received various changes, including a new Mercedes-AMG E63 Sedan trim with a 6.2L naturally aspirated V8 with 507 hp, connected to a seven-speed automatic transmission and RWD.
