Current Mercedes & AMG Model Range

While previous models of the C43 came with a bi-turbo V6, the push towards hybridization has resulted in the 2023 model being equipped with a 2.0L turbo inline-4 that pushes out 17 more HP than the previous V6 did, at 402 HP. This both makes the 2023 edition more powerful than its predecessors as well as more efficient

The 2023 E53 Sedan is a mild reimagining of just what the E-class AMG models can be. Instead of being fitted with a naturally aspirated V8, it now comes with a turbo inline-6 with mild hybrid assist, and develops a decent 429 HP from that engine. The hybrid assist is what really helps with the acceleration figure, as both the turbocharged engine and the electric motor will work together under 2,000 RPM to get the car up and moving

One of the two new Mercedes-AMG electric sedans, the EQE is what one could call the entry-level performance model, which is aimed squarely at the base performance EV models of its rivals, the Tesla Model S and the Porsche Taycan. It is not a light car at all with its 90.6 kWh battery pack, but with an effective 701 lb-ft of nominal torque, it will simply catapult itself down the road in fine style.

The more premium of the two new AMG EV's, the 2023 EQS is the car you want if you are a fan of the E-class or S-class petrol-powered cars. It is slower to 60 than the EQE by just 0.2 seconds, which is mostly down to the massive 108.4 kWh battery pack, giving it near-as-makes-no-difference 275 miles per charge. Also in comparison to the EQE, the EQS can accept full 200 kW charging through a CCS connector, which will recharge it from 10% to 80% in just 30 minutes.

The AMG C43 Cabriolet allows you to enjoy the symphony of the 385-hp biturbo V6 tucked under the hood. It's a powerplant that's eager to please as you put it through its paces with a slick 9-speed transmission. For 2023, it is packed with enough arsenal to take on its rivals from the likes of BMW and Audi.

The Mercedes-AMG C 63 S Cabriolet is the sledgehammer of the drop-top C's, with its mighty 4.0L biturbo V8. This is a luxury performance cabriolet that can go wheel to wheel for performance with its German compatriots, and more often than not come out on top. On top of it all, it's also extremely efficient with its turbines, as the engine uses a hot-V configuration that many supercars use for quicker spool-ups.

The 2023 SL 55 Roadster, while not a new model, is still a stalwart and steadfast fixture in the AMG lineup. While not as out-and-out powerful as the discontinued GT Roadsters or its big brother, the SL 63 Roadster, it still carries a velvet-gloved hammer under the hood. The best bit, however, is that unlike the cabriolets, in the roadster you're sitting that much closer to the exhaust pipes, meaning you'll be able to hear that classic AMG roar all that much easier

The 2023 SL 63 Roadster is the flagship of the drop-tops, carrying the most power, the most technology, and the most new go-faster bits, with the result being an AMG drop-top that can comfortably keep up with most anything that comes out of the UK or Italy with the moniker of "supercar" attached. Where the SL 63 excels, however, is that unlike those more fickle beasts, you can drive it all day without having to worry about it overheating, popping a sensor warning, or having an issue. This car is designed to be driven long distances, and do so in immense comfort, which is something that almost every review out there you can find will say the SL 63 does effortlessly.

Apart from the powertrain, the AMG GLA 35 is not much different from the regular Mercedes-Benz GLA model. The AMG engineers tuned the 2.0-litre inline-4 engine up a bit, and it now cranks out just over 300 hp for better overall performance.

The AMG GLA 45 also gets the same inline-4 engine but gains an additional 80 hp over the AMG GLA 35. It is thirstier, no doubt, but on the upside, you have a performance SUV that can rocket to 60 mph in about 4 seconds. For 2023, the GLA 45 S was trimmed from the lineup and is no longer for sale.

This SUV mirrors the engine specifications of the AMG GLA 35. However, it comes in a different body style (7-Seater) and a few extra options that place it at a higher price point, but also makes it slightly heavier duty as well.

The AMG GLC 43 can complete the 60 mph dash in just 4.7 seconds. Even more impressive is the fact that it has a decent tow rating of 3,500 lbs. With the GLC SUV, you have a capable performance machine that can quite effortlessly double as a practical small family hauler. For 2023, the AMG GLC line received the bulk of the SUV trimming, losing 5 sub-models with only the Coupe model left on the table.

The high points of this SUV include its cleverly engineered inline-6 engine, luxuriously appointed cabin space and air suspension for a smooth driving experience. The GLE 63 also gets a few extra goodies like automatic high-beam headlights (now standard) and an optional Mercedes Benz's air purifier system (Air Balance).

Mechanically the same as the GLE 53 SUV, the Coupe variant adds the sloping rear half to give the car a more aerodynamic shape and to those who like it, a more appealing side profile. There is some sacrifice in terms of sheer cargo capacity beyond the back row of seats, but it will still seat 4 in enormous comfort, and 5 in relative comfort.

The biggest, baddest AMG SUV currently in the 2023 lineup, the GLS 63 is a powerhouse in every sense of the word. A true super-SUV, it puts down 603 hp through all four wheels and can sprint to 60 in just 4.1 seconds, but it is the grunt, 627 lb-ft of it, that makes this a tarmac terror. It will seat 7 in luxury, but also pin them back in to the plush leather cushions when the driver gets a little happy with their right foot. It also has the largest cargo capacity of all the AMG SUV's, so not only will you get to your destination rapidly and comfortably, you can also bring along a lot of stuff to use there!

In every Mercedes-AMG lineup, it is almost a rule that there must be a G-Wagon. For 2023, that model is the G 63, which shares its engine with the GLS 63 SUV, albeit with the wick turned down just a little. It still develops the monstrous 627 lb-ft of torque, however, as this is the one AMG that you can realistically take off-road. Aimed to compete with brands such as Land Rover, it is exquisitely appointed inside with loads of natural varnished woods and leather, and has an options list that includes off-road optimized suspension, extended mud flaps, and even mounting points you can attach a winch to!

This is the gateway to the world of Mercedes-AMG Coupes. It's still pretty feisty, though, with a preppy inline-4 unit that dishes out 302 hp. Even better, it's got four doors (Mercedes still calls this a coupe) for easier access to the rear cabin space.

This current crop of C-Class coupes will likely be this generation's last, as a brand-new electric replacement, the EQC, is expected to hit showrooms before the end of 2024. The current AMG C 43 coupe provides a genuine sports-car attitude under the guise of a luxury car. It's a trend that continues as you move up to the C63 S model, which carries a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 with 503 HP on tap, but is nearly $20,000 more than the C 43

Mercedes-AMG describes the E-Class coupe as classy. "Whether you're in a business suit or a sports outfit. With the new Mercedes-AMG E 53 4MATIC+ Coupé, you are appropriately dressed for every occasion." We couldn't agree more.

Take the reins of 469 handcrafted biturbo V8 horses with nine paddle-shifted multiclutch speeds, adaptive AMG RIDE CONTROL and a limited-slip diff. And with its tailored 4-seat cabin, you can take friends along.

The AMG GT 43 4-door coupe impresses with its bold styling and rapid acceleration. It also scores points with an impressive array of technological features. However, that price point may force you to consider other alternatives - and this is just the base model. There is an uprated model, the GT 53 with 429 HP from the same engine, but more EQ hybrid tech attached, and a price tag $10,000 more than the GT 43.

After endless delays, this may be the year we finally get the highly anticipated AMG One. It will be the AMG flagship, an ambitious project that aims to successfully transfer Formula One technology into a road-legal hypercar. Production will be limited to 275 units and they are all sold out.
