The new 2019 Mercedes-AMG E53 is a premium mid-size car that comes in sedan, wagon, cabriolet, and coupe variants. This car is highly luxurious and flamboyant in nature. It is a vehicle that is able to pacify the hungry eyes of the insatiable car freak and soothe their curiosity. It has been tagged as a fancy sports car. The vehicle is perfect for its price because it is an asset, as it provides the actual value for the money. Although it is a little more expensive than the base Mercedes Benz E300 and next-in-line to the E450 E-class, it is however below the leading E63 S models, that bear a twin-turbo 4.0 liters V8s with 603hp.
The price for this car is between $73,545 and $98,310 or ₦26.5 million and ₦35.4 million, for the base and tested prices depending on variant and trim. Please note that prices may slightly change according to the dealer nearest to you. You will also have to add the customs clearance fees to this in Nigeria.
The E53 might well be the best E-series Mercedes ever made
