2023 Mercedes-AMG E63 Wagon Safety and Reliability

In the event of a crash, you want to know that you'll be as safe as possible. At present, there isn't an independent safety review for the Mercedes-AMG E63 S, but the E-Class wagon achieves full marks across all tests from the NHTSA. Over at the IIHS, no version of Merc's E-Class Wagon has been tested.

As standard, every E63 S wagon comes with safety features like active brake assist, a driver attention warning, crosswind assist, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, a surround-view camera, automatic park assist with front and rear parking sensors, rain-sensing wipers, adaptive high beams, and seven airbags including frontal, side-impact, and overhead airbags. Rear side-impact airbags are also optionally available, as are adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, adaptive LED headlights, lane keep assist, front cross-traffic alert, and forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking. A head-up display is offered too.

Thus far, the 2023 E-Class has suffered no recalls. 2022 models were subject to four recalls for issues ranging from disabled safety features and harnesses that may corrode to steering-wheel hands-off detection software errors and seatbelt retractors malfunctioning. Not all of these apply to the AMG E63, though. Before that, the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class has a whopping 13 recalls, but not all of these pertained to the AMG E63 wagon, specifically
Should you have any qualms about ownership, Merc does provide a limited warranty for the first four years or 50,000 miles, along with a powertrain warranty for the same period. However, no complimentary scheduled maintenance is offered, unlike when you buy an Audi.
