2022 Mercedes-AMG E53

The seamless power and natural balance of an inline-6 return with another Mercedes-AMG tradition — a technological leap forward. The lightweight, fully beltless engine is also electrified: An Integrated Starter-Generator can supply up to 21 horsepower at certain rpm, allow gas-free coasting and recapture energy during deceleration. With a twin-scroll turbo and electric auxiliary compressor, the gas engine outputs 429 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque on its own, for quick, efficient response.

Aggressively athletic style defines the iconic E-Class from every angle. The expressive LED headlamps, vertical-bar AMG grille, and a deep front apron with aggressive air intakes add up to a commanding presence. The rear is dramatically sleek as well, with horizontally oriented LED taillamps adding sporty distinction. Flared side sills, twin power domes in the hood and a rear apron with functional diffuser assert the extensive attention to aerodynamic and visual detail. For a cleaner, stealthier parting view, the AMG and model emblems can be deleted from the trunk lid at no charge upon request.

The three-dimensional flow of the E-Class cockpit is more than a visual achievement. Every aspect of the cabin experience is equally fluid, from the natural feel of the controls to the clarity with which information and entertainment reach the driver and passengers. A single floating panel houses the digital instruments and multimedia touchscreen, seamlessly united to form a widescreen cockpit. Aluminum-ringed air vents and control elements punctuate the wave of elegant dash trim. It’s a haven of luxury and fine craftsmanship.

Pneumatically adjustable lumbar, side and shoulder supports offer custom-tailored comfort. Active side bolsters can automatically increase lateral support in cornering maneuvers, or even in the event of a potential accident. Eight massage programs can soothe and rejuvenate back and shoulders, including two spa-like “hot stone” massages, plus an “active workout” program to help strengthen back and leg muscles. —Mike Hunter

Shine a Light on Sanitation

Purification, LLC is an innovative, Tempe-based company that’s harnessing the power of CDC-approved UV-C lights to disinfect air and surface contaminants, reduce spore activation and kill airborne pathogens through environmental sterilization and HVAC air sterilization. The one-of-a-kind technology can be used on any surface to sanitize homes, schools or businesses in a way that’s fast, environmentally friendly, cost-effective and free of human error.

UV-C lights are the most effective lights for eliminating viruses and bacteria, as the light’s energy breaks down the bonds that hold together the DNA and RNA of viruses and bacteria so they are no longer able to spread. Purification founder Nicholas Knudsen was able to create lights with the right amount of disinfecting power to be able to sanitize large spaces without causing permanent damage. —Jamie Killin

Purification’s available products and services are:

• UV-C HVAC installation, providing air sterilization through HVAC units

• Portable purification devices that combine carbon filter and UV-C technology

• Environmental sterilization for individual events or gatherings
