Mercedes is updating the whole E-Class family, and probably around this time next year, we'll have a new look for the E63 as well. The latest set of spyshots show the E63 Wagon for the first time with new features.
After being sighted near Mercedes-AMG's test center, the E63 Wagon took to the legendary Nurburgring track where it tested out its performance hardware. Beside familiar features like extra-large wheels and ceramic brakes, we also see a brand new configuration for the exhaust, not to mention big front fascia revisions.

The 2021 appearance centers around a new Panamericana grille design, with a frame that looks like it wants to bite you and angry LED lighting. It's obvious that this goes hand in hand with a new bumper, maybe even a subtle reshaping of the hood.

And beneath that camoed hood, we might find a more powerful version of the familiar 4-liter bi-turbo V8. While the C63 wagon didn't receive more power during its facelift, the AMG GT did. We know that the V8 is nearing the limit of what it can do, but engineers can still go from 612 to the 639 HP setup of the GT 63 S four-door. We might even see EQ Boost hybrid systems being installed as an emissions-lowering measure.

It might sound like AMG is being a try-hard, but the E63 will have to compete with a new power wagon in the 2020 Audi RS6, scheduled to debut later this year with around 600 horsepower.

The rump of the prototype covers up the new taillights with camo while leaving the bumper to be admired. There, we easily spot a new piece of chrome trim and the big quad exhaust pipes we just mentioned.

But it's on the inside that buyers can expect significant upgrades: brand new infotainment screens and functions to keep the tech-savvy occupied.
