Having updated the E-Class for 2024 with a new infotainment suite and a dashboard consumed by digital displays, Mercedes-Benz focused on mechanical parts for 2025.

Of 30 vehicles subject to the new test in the agency’s latest front crash evaluation, 22 rated good or acceptable.

For the 2025 model year, Mercedes has rolled out the AMG E53 Hybrid, which generates 577 hp — or 604 hp with the optional Race Start function.

With up to 39 inches of screens inside, the redesigned 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the techiest version yet — which might not appeal to the traditional Benz buyer.

The electric half of the E53 Hybrid’s powertrain gains a more powerful electric motor and a larger battery pack for electric-only operation, as well as total output of up to 604 horsepower.

While the exterior of the redesigned 2024 E-Class benefits from a light touch-up, most of the changes are inside, where a new electronic architecture most obviously manifests in Mercedes’ new digital dashboard.

Mercedes-Benz has unveiled several in-car tech upgrades, including a generative AI-powered virtual assistant and a new Sound Drive audio experience that will be rolling out to its new vehicles soon.
