📖Generation guide
S213 E63 S 4MATIC+ Wagon • 2017+
The S213 generation features a striking design and advanced technology, including the MBUX infotainment system. The 2021 facelift introduced notable updates while retaining the powerful M177 engine, making it a coveted choice for enthusiasts.
W213 E63 S Sedan • 2017+
While the sedan variant shares performance specs with the wagon, it lacks the unique long-roof styling that appeals to collectors, thus establishing a clear wagon premium in the market.
W211 E63 Wagon • 2007-2009
The preceding generation set the stage for the AMG wagon renaissance but cannot compare to the performance and luxury found in the S213.
W212 E63 Wagon • 2010-2016
A solid foundation with impressive specs, yet falls short of the refinement and technology found in the S213 series.
Known issues by generation
The S213 E63 S Wagon, while a magnificent performer, has its share of known issues. The M177 4.0L biturbo V8's unique hot-V configuration can lead to heat-soak challenges impacting performance and requiring diligent cooling system maintenance. Owners should also be aware of the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT transmission's potential wear at high mileages, necessitating regular inspection of the mechatronic valve body and clutch packs. The multi-chamber AIRMATIC air suspension may exhibit compressor and strut leaks, demanding careful attention and potentially costly replacements. Comprehensive service records are crucial for maintaining collector value and ensuring optimal performance.
