The Mercedes AMG C63 S E Performance has launched in India at a price tag of INR 1.95 crore (ex-showroom). The C63 has had some significant updates this time around, instead of the typical V8 engine, you have a four cylinder and electric framework which in personal opinion does not make much sense, its a setup geared to be more efficient without the aurous sound of a v8 engine. In the sections below this article, we will highlight the key features of this exciting creation – performance sedan. Its design, powertrain, and performance features are addressed in the next section.
Primary AMG Touches
The vehicle retains the classic C-Class form language, even though AMG modified it for peak performance. Mercedes-AMG equips the car with the signature wide Panamericana grille, aggressive bumpers, and wider lateral panels, which enhance the power-to-weight ratio significantly. The 20-inch forged AMG alloy wheels fit perfectly, adding an aggressive edge to the vehicle. Additionally, the enlarged rear bumper and quad exhaust tips accentuate the bold, big-body style, giving the vehicle a commanding presence on the road.
The newest AMG set also incorporates the aggressive nature of their predecessors due to their aim of maximizing the aerodynamics of the vehicle. Due to these modifications, the C63 S E Performance is not only appealing to the eyes and well designed, but it also fits into AMG’s brand identity of high performance.
The Interior: A Fusion of Luxury and Sportiness
C63 S E- Performance is equipped with very different features from the just C-Class’s arrangement; however, the amalgamation of advantages continues. Head-Up Display, a 15-speaker Burmester 3D sound system, and a 12.3-inch multimedia central screen improve how sophisticated interior cabin space may feel. The Burmester system gives increased quality audio which improves driver listening experience on the road.
The car’s high-performance traits extend to the very front, where the sports seats provide essential support. Mercedes-AMG includes a specialized AMG steering wheel, adding to the sporty character, along with several interior accents crafted for a dynamic aesthetic. Despite these performance-focused elements, Mercedes maintains its luxury standards across every component in the cabin, ensuring that comfort and elegance remain integral to the vehicle’s design.
Groundbreaking Performance And Hybrid Power Plant
AMG C63 S E-Hybrid has reached some monumental changes: the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine replaced the twin-turbo V8. Nevertheless, the engine, despite its initial setting of 469 bhp and 545 Nm of torque, was remarkably powerful. The combined power of an electric motor and a rear axle system raises torque to 1020 Nm and total bhp to 671. This new setup sure makes the C63 S E Performance the epitome of muscle and control while maintaining its status of being the highest grooving manufacturer of four-cylinder engines.
The electric motor enhances both the vehicle’s efficiency and power. The 6.1 kWh battery provides a 13 km electric-only range, enabling zero-emission trips over short distances. Mercedes pairs this setup with a nine-speed automatic transmission, delivering instantaneous power for a seamless driving experience. This combination of efficiency and performance makes the plug-in hybrid system an ideal choice for those seeking eco-friendly power without compromising on thrill.

Acceleration and Top Speed
Mercedes claims that the C63 S E Performance can reach kilometers per hour from 0 in 3.4 seconds. This is a remarkably low sprint and therefore the vehicle is competitive with supercars that are among the best in the world. Whenever they want, the vehicle’s driving speeds can reach a staggering 250 kilometers per hour but some buyers purchase the AMG Driver’s Package that allows them to drive at 280 kilometers per hour. Having such a feature allows the car to be top of the food chain when navigating busy streets but also supersedes demands for speed driving.
Advanced Driving Modes and Rear-Wheel Steering
Eight driving modes are selectable and hence the vehicle can be used for various tasks making it nearly perfect since it can be customized. The C63 S E performance also has a customizable steering feature, determined not by the size of the steering wheel, but by the dynamic responsiveness of the powertrain and the mechanical setup of the suspension. Given all these features, the car is nearly perfect since it is able to handle daily chores and can be fun when taking it out for a ride.
The inclusion of rear wheel steering improves the car’s maneuverability. The maximum steering angle is measured at 2.5 degrees whereby at low speeds, the rear wheels move in the opposite direction the front wheels turn enabling the car to navigate tight corners with ease. The rear wheels move in parallel with the front wheels when the vehicular speed increases providing a stable and well-controlled driving experience.
