MERCEDES-AMG has released two new '53' badged models in South Africa.

Until the more extreme '63' versions arrive, the new Mercedes-AMG E53 Hybrid Sedan and CLE 53 Coupe will be the most potent models in their respective line-ups.

But how much do they cost?

The new E53 Hybrid 4Matic Sedan is now on sale for R2 499 596, while the CLE 53 4Matic+ Coupe gets into your garage for R2 065 982.

They might sound technically similar, but they are both very different variations of AMG's latest six-cylinder turbocharged petrol powertrain.

Mercedes-AMG E53 Hybrid

To that end, the E53 is a fully-blown plug-in hybrid, pairing the aforementioned straight-six engine with a 120kW electric motor for system outputs of 430kW and 750Nm.
