Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance Launched in India at ₹1.96 Crore: Engine Specs, Design, and Features Explained
Mercedes-Benz has officially launched its high-performance sedan, the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance, in India with an ex-showroom price of ₹1.96 crore. As the 14th and final Mercedes-Benz launch of the year, this model marks a significant addition to the AMG lineup in India. Here’s a detailed look at what makes the AMG C 63 S E Performance stand out.
Design: A Muscular and Aggressive Aesthetic
The Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance boasts a design that’s bolder and more muscular than the standard C-Class. Its most prominent change is the AMG-style vertical-bar front grille, adding a strong, aggressive touch. The front fenders are widened by 2 inches, featuring a “Turbo E Performance” badge and gloss-black mini-vents. With an overall front extension of 50 mm and a 0.4-inch increase in wheelbase, the car presents a more dynamic stance.
At the rear, a striking black diffuser, boot-lip spoiler, and stylish black exhaust tips accentuate the performance-focused design. The 19-inch alloy wheels come with a fresh, sporty look, adding to the car’s athletic appeal.
Powerful Hybrid Engine for Unmatched Performance
Under the hood, the AMG C 63 S E Performance abandons the traditional V8 engine for a powerful 2.0-liter, inline, 4-cylinder engine paired with an electric turbocharger. This strong hybrid setup delivers exceptional power and efficiency. The sedan is equipped with 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive technology, providing superior traction and stability.
With a maximum power output of 671 bhp and a torque of 1019 Nm, this high-performance hybrid can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds, showcasing its power-packed capabilities. This powerful combination places the AMG C 63 S E among the fastest sedans in its class.
Advanced Features for an Enhanced Driving Experience
The Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance comes loaded with features to elevate the driving experience. Key highlights include:
- 8 AMG Dynamic Select Drive Modes: Tailor your drive with modes that adjust the car’s responsiveness based on driving conditions and preferences.
- AMG Ride Control Suspension: Equipped with adaptive damping for a smoother, more controlled ride.
- 2.5-Degree Rear-Axle Steering: Enhances maneuverability and stability, making it easier to handle sharp turns.
Additionally, the sedan includes the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) with AI-based voice control, AMG-specific steering wheel functions, and hybrid-specific controls. The exclusive black AMG emblem on the hood and the optional AMG Aerodynamics Package further enhance its appeal.
The Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance merges cutting-edge hybrid technology with iconic AMG performance, setting a new benchmark in the Indian luxury sports sedan segment.
