The engine

M256

Turbocharged 3.0L Inline-Six Mild Hybrid

A smooth, characterful straight-six with the inherent balance the layout is famous for, boosted by a 48-volt system that erases turbo lag for an immediate, seamless surge of power.

The M256 was introduced in 2017 as Mercedes' modern inline-six, reviving the configuration the brand had abandoned for V6s, and AMG comprehensively upgraded it for the 53-series models.
