Mercedes AMG C63 Review: Turbo Hybrid Power and Luxury Tech

In the world of high-performance sedans, the new Mercedes AMG C63 has caused quite a stir by ditching its beloved V8 engine in favor of a Turbo Hybrid 4 cylinder. Many purists argue that this move has stripped away the car's muscle car essence, despite the significant power increase to 670 horsepower and 750 lb-ft of torque. However, this power boost comes at a cost - the addition of a plug-in hybrid system has piled on over 800 pounds to the car's weight, making it a hefty contender on the road.

But fear not, for the new C63 still manages to sprint from 0 to 60 in a hair-raising 3 seconds, showcasing its impressive performance capabilities. The car comes equipped with all-wheel drive and a limited 6-mile electric range, starting at a price point of around $87,000. Inside, the cabin exudes luxury with high-quality materials, a sleek design, and a cutting-edge infotainment system that puts control at the driver's fingertips.

From the steering wheel-mounted screens for drive mode adjustments to the touch-sensitive main center screen with climate control functions, the new C63 is a tech enthusiast's dream. The car's gauge cluster screen offers a customizable display, allowing drivers to tailor their information preferences while on the road. Despite lacking a mirror camera screen, the C63's interior is packed with features like a track Pace app, a fingerprint reader for personalized settings, and an intuitive camera system for easy navigation in tight spaces.
