C 63
671 hp from a four-cylinder — the most radical performance sedan in the game · 5 seats
REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOAbhinav Toppo / PexelsOur verdict
8.3 / 10The AMG C 63 S E Performance is one of the most technically radical performance sedans ever made — a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder paired with a rear axle electric motor to produce 671 hp and 1020 Nm. The result is a car that rockets to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and handles with genuine precision, all while fitting five people in comfort. The controversial engine swap from the old hand-built V8 still divides enthusiasts, and the extra mass from the PHEV system is noticeable in the corners at the limit, but outright pace is breathtaking and the technology showcase is unmatched in the segment.
Who it's for — Performance sedan buyers who want supercar-level acceleration with daily usability, and are comfortable paying premium running costs in exchange for the AMG badge and engineering spectacle.
PROS
- +Monstrous 671 hp / 1020 Nm output — fastest C-Class ever made
- +3.4-second 0-100 km/h puts it ahead of many supercars
- +Extremely sophisticated chassis and torque-vectoring rear electric axle
- +Sumptuous MBUX cabin with large portrait screen and AMG-specific displays
- +Genuine GCC support through established Gargash Enterprises / Al Habtoor dealer network
CONS
- –No V8 — the 2.0-litre four-cylinder lacks the AMG sound character purists expected
- –Kerb weight of over 2,100 kg is heavy for a C-Class and affects feel at the limit
- –6.1 kWh battery gives only ~13 km of EV range — hardly meaningful for a PHEV
- –Running costs (tyres, brakes, servicing) are firmly supercar-adjacent
- –Boot shrinks to 315 litres due to battery packaging
