Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The heart of this PHEV is a turbocharged 3.0-litre inline-six engine paired with a 120-kilowatt electric motor and 21.2-kilowatt-hour battery, and Mercedes claims it takes as little as 3.9 seconds for this wagon to accelerate to 100 km/h.
• Tech: As expected, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with an augmented reality navigation system, music streaming, and a sensational Burmester 4D surround-sound system with Dolby Atmos technology.

• Starting price: The AMG E 53 Hybrid wagon has a base price of $113,895.

If you're buying used today, the 2018 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
