Mercedes-AMG C63 Specifications & Features
The 2024 Mercedes-AMG C63, the high-performance version of Mercedes’ entry-luxury C-class sedan, returns with a completely new engine. This new-generation C63 is propelled by a gasoline engine half as big: a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that combines with an electric engine to produce an incredible 671-hp in total. The previous generation was propelled by a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 with either 469 or 503-hp. The original C63 had excellent performance, but the new plug-in hybrid system promises to outperform it even if the engine’s personality has undoubtedly altered significantly. The reduced engine uses an electric operated turbocharger arrangement similar to the one used in Mercedes-Formula AMG’s 1 race car to help reduce turbo lag. A completely charged battery should offer roughly 6 miles of driving range while operating in full electric mode.
What’s New?
For the 2024 model year, the C63 is completely new, and unlike the previous year, it will only be available as a sedan. In the middle of 2023, we anticipate the 2024 C63 to arrive at Mercedes dealerships. The interior of the C63 resembles both the junior AMG C43 and the basic C-class in many ways, but it also features AMG-branded sport seats with weight-saving openings along with unique fabric and stitching patterns. Although Mercedes hasn’t specified every feature and option, we anticipate that it will come with a tonne of comfort and luxury features, such as a panoramic sunroof, heated and cooled seats, four-zone automatic climate control, and more.
Mercedes-AMG C63 Engine, Power, Acceleration & Performance
The outdated twin-turbo V8 engine from the previous-generation C63 has been replaced by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine. But, you should be aware that this inline-four will be enhanced by a 201-hp electric motor and employs an electric turbocharger to eliminate turbo lag before you get disappointed at an engine that is half as big as the old one. A tremendous 671-hp will be produced by the new high-performance plug-in hybrid propulsion system, giving it an advantage over competitor performance sedans like the BMW M3 and the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing, at least on paper. This configuration enables some limited all-electric driving, but only for a distance of around 6 miles; instead, it serves to deliver performance that is comparable to the previous vehicle while using less fuel overall. The drivetrain has plenty of punch, and we predict it will be able to reach 60 mph in under 3.0 seconds.
Mercedes-AMG C63 Mileage
| 2024 Mercedes-AMG C63 Mileage | City | Highway |
| C63 | 17 mpg | 26 mpg |
The EPA hasn’t yet disclosed the C63 sedan’s fuel economy numbers. However we expect to see some fuel efficiency gains over the preceding model, which was estimated at 17 mpg city and 26 mpg highway, due to the adoption of the reduced engine and hybrid system.

The same big 11.9-inch infotainment touchscreen that is built into the centre console and canted slightly towards the driver in the C43 model is likely to be standard on all versions. It’s also expected that a 12.3-inch digital gauge display will come as standard. Wireless communication should include both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard features, and a premium Burmester music system should also be included.

Conclusion
The Mercedes F1 racing team’s prestige is behind the new C63, a high-tech, powerful sports sedan. We miss the V8 rumbling and the short electrified driving range of the previous version. Stunningly polite when cruising, well balanced steering.
