The Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance has been launched on our shores at Rs 1.95 crore (ex-showroom). The hottest, maddest, and angriest iteration of the C-Class sedan gets a new 2-litre turbo petrol engine paired with a hybrid system. It bids farewell to the 4-litre V8, but still delivers up to 680 PS. Bookings are open and if you’re getting one, you’ll also be treated to a drive on the Nurburgring race track in Germany.

Let’s take a closer look at all the details of this mean-looking machine:

Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E : Design

Design wise, the AMG C 63 S E looks sportier and aggressive over the standard C-Class. It features a Panamericana front grille which is usual for an AMG, besides boldly styled front air dams, and sleek LED headlights in the fascia.

The silhouette boasts 20-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels wrapped around in low profile tyres, giving it a very sporty stance.

At the rear, the LED taillights look familiar, but the dual exhaust tips, boot mounted spoiler and the new diffuser up the sporty quotient by a few notches.

Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E : Interior And Features

Inside, the dashboard retains a familiar C-Class layout but receives AMG-specific upgrades, including sport seats and an AMG steering wheel. It comes feature-loaded including a panoramic sunroof, a centrally mounted touchscreen powered by MBUX with wireless connectivity for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a head-up display, and a Burmester audio system.

Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E : Powertrain

The main game lies under the hood! Unlike its predecessor, the latest C 63 has replaced the 4-litre V8 twin-turbo engine with a 2-litre 4-cylinder engine equipped with an electric exhaust gas turbocharger, delivering 476 PS to all four wheels. 

As part of its hybrid powertrain, the engine is paired with a 204 PS electric motor on the rear axle, bringing total output to 680 PS and 1020 Nm of torque, making it the most powerful production four-cylinder vehicle in the world. 

The engine is mated to a 9-speed automatic gearbox, enabling acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds. The hybrid setup offers more than just power—the new C 63 S can also be driven in pure electric mode with a range of 13 km, thanks to its 6.1 kWh battery pack, which is rechargeable via a wallbox charger.
