Mercedes-Benz India is gearing up to launch the eagerly awaited AMG C 63 S E Performance on November 12, marking a significant shift in the C 63 lineup by dropping the classic V8 for a state-of-the-art plug-in hybrid setup. This new model will only be available in the AMG C 63 S E Performance spec, ensuring top-tier performance in the C-Class lineup.
Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance features
Under the hood, the 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine alone delivers 475 horsepower, while the electric motor adds 203 horsepower. The overall output is 680 horsepower. To reduce lag, the turbocharger combines an electric motor that draws power from the 400V electrical system, allowing the turbine to spool up faster – technology derived from Mercedes’ Formula 1 car. It features a 9-speed multi-clutch automatic transmission with all-wheel drive.
The AMG C 63 S E Performance boasts a distinctive appearance, beginning with 76mm-wider front wheel arches that set it apart from the regular C-Class. Customers can choose between 19-inch or optional 20-inch wheels, complemented by the iconic AMG grille with vertical slats and active shutters that adjust based on cooling needs.
Inside, the AMG C 63 S E Performance retains the sophisticated layout of the standard C-Class with an all-black theme for a premium, sporty ambiance. The model features the latest large touchscreen and a digital instrument cluster, with an AMG-specific steering wheel to elevate the driving experience.
