In this review of the 2025 Mercedes AMG GLC 63 S Performance Formatic Plus by TheStraightPipes, the focus is on the powertrain's performance and handling. The team delves into the powertrain's similarities with the C63 and the potential shift to a V8 in the future. While acknowledging the GLC 63's impressive speed, they find the power delivery lacking in engagement compared to other models. Despite this, they are impressed by the SUV's handling, especially when equipped with winter tires, showcasing its capabilities on the road.
The exterior design of the GLC 63 is discussed, with comparisons made to the 43 model and praise given to the stylish wheels and Continental Sport Contact 7 tires. The team also highlights the exhaust system's impressive sound for a four-cylinder engine, noting the ability to control the sound levels. Moving on to the car's electric capabilities, they explore the electric-only range, regenerative options, and trunk space, providing a comprehensive overview of the vehicle's eco-friendly features.
The review further delves into the technology and driving modes available in the GLC 63, emphasizing the smooth driving experience and minimal body roll thanks to the AMG active ride control system. They touch on the potential reliability concerns of the high-tech four-cylinder engine, contrasting it with the robustness of older V8 models. The team also explores the comfort features inside the vehicle, such as the heated seats and advanced 360 camera system, showcasing the luxury and convenience offered by the GLC 63.
