The 2025 Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE heralds a new era for high-performance sedans, injecting Formula 1-derived technology into its core to create a truly exhilarating driving experience. This isn’t just an evolution; it’s a revolution, transforming the iconic C-Class AMG into the most potent four-cylinder production car in the world, and the strongest C-Class to date.
Underneath its aggressively sculpted hood lies a handcrafted AMG 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine, but this is no ordinary powerplant. It’s augmented by an electric exhaust-gas turbocharger and a rear-mounted 150kW permanently synchronous electric motor, creating a performance hybrid system that redefines the segment. The result is a staggering 671 horsepower and a monstrous 752 lb-ft of torque. This electrifying combination propels the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.3 seconds, delivering acceleration that rivals supercars.
This powerhouse is managed by the AMG SPEEDSHIFT® MCT 9-speed automatic transmission, ensuring seamless gear changes and optimal power delivery to all four wheels via the AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive system. This advanced drivetrain not only maximizes traction for blistering acceleration but also provides exceptional stability and control in diverse driving conditions.
The Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE doesn’t just excel in straight-line speed. Its chassis and suspension are engineered for dynamic handling. The 4-wheel independent suspension features a 4-link front and 5-arm multilink rear setup, enhanced with AMG RIDE CONTROL. This adaptive damping system allows drivers to fine-tune the ride and handling characteristics, ranging from comfortable cruising to track-ready stiffness. Complementing this is the 3-stage AMG parameter rack-and-pinion steering with electromechanical power assist and active rear-wheel steering, providing pinpoint accuracy and agility through corners.
Despite its performance focus, the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE retains the practicality expected of a sedan. It comfortably seats five passengers and offers a cargo capacity of 11.6 cu ft. The interior dimensions are generous, with 41.0 inches of headroom and 41.7 inches of legroom for front occupants, and 37.6 inches of headroom and 36.0 inches of legroom for rear passengers.
