2025 Mercedes S63 AMG Review: This Car Makes No Sense

[@wisruteb]

The best AMG cars are the ones that don’t make sense. It has been this way from the start, and should continue to be this way as much as possible.

[@benjaminwitt1762]

You can argue that no Amg has ever made sense. Especially the Black series, but damn i love that V8 and that soundtrack.

[@protagonist9716]

It's not gonna be like that, regulation will kill no sense cars

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

Because everyone was clowning on Mercedes when the C63 V8 wasn't as quick as the AWD Audi RS5 V6 a few years ago. That C63 was my favourite car but you always had idiots complaining that it wasn't quite as fast as an AWD.. Like it has a V8 and is RWD, be quiet. Now we have overcomplicated mess that no one likes. The same clowns are still there, complaining that the Revuelto is not as fast as SF90 Stradale, again is has an NA V12 instead of that souless V8, be quiet. Want the V12 to die like the V10 did?

What the C63 shouldve been really. The perks of the electric motor backed by the thumping V8. I reckon they could've moved that as the last of the V8s.. they cut it off slightly too early.

[@ToxicMasculinity101]

@Danniboy344 so true bro, so true. They killed a legend, fitted it with a 2L engine...only milk comes in 2L!

[@77youdoc]

The Intercooler review suggested if sales are crap, they may look at doing at a C63 midlife renewal with the V8 back. Porsche brought back the 6 cylinder in the Cayman GTS. Different parameters, but we live in hope :-)

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

Less hybrid. Its the cheapest model, hybrid is a big reason for not just weight increase but price increase. So just do away with it all together or keep it as minimal as possible. A V8 is enough really.

[@snakeeyes9246]

They should've put an inline 6 in it.

[@gaara4667]

It’s one or the other. 4 cylinder hybrid S63 and V8 C63 or what we actually got.

[@Taylor40667]

The S63 never made sense. It was just cool to have the flagship v8 in a luxury car Imagine trying to take this to a garage at 10 years old

[@nmvi226]

Yep thanks to climate change anytime you want a v8 performance car be prepared to deal with the hybrid battery complexity irregardless of brand, from Porsche to bmw, Bentley. Less people will be able to afford to maintain buying these cars used so better stick to something Japanese

[@turnne]

The good news is that these depreciate like crazy...so at 10 years old its a fraction of its original price

[@Trussme96]

A decade of depreciation won't matter when every maintenance bill will be 5 figures

[@turnne]

@@Trussme96 I disagree ....in about 7 years and 70K miles this vehicle would have lost about $100K in value There is no way you would spent that in repairs and maintenance in that time period . The first 4 year 50Kmiles would have factory warranty

[@CascadeSlim0119]

@@turnne . It may be more affordable after 7-10 years but the maintenance on it will still be like it’s brand new. Ever heard of the saying “you gotta be rich to buy a used luxury vehicle”? You’ll make up a good portion of that 100k depreciation eventually.

[@jimsmith1550]

The only thing they messed up on this car… is the price. Asking 190k plus is to much. Should have be 160 starting. Even in Los Angeles I have only seen 1 on the road in the last year.

[@felixarbable]

That's crazy money 😂

[@savouryfriend]

When this car was revealed the car had an additional sensor in the grill which looked out of place but would have surely been with reason. Does anyone know what its purpose is/was? I say 'was' because review videos or website photos do not show this in the grill anymore. Why would it not be included in production ready cars, or is it an option that is available yet?

[@Ervin-1190]

Surprised he didn't mention the barely improved power to weight ratio compared to the previous model. Yes, you have much more power than the W222 (802 vs 612ps), but this W223 is also about 525kg heavier, which means it’s even less agile. + because there is so much added battery tech, it’s a lot more complicated and more expensive go work on if there anything goes wrong. Wouldn’t want to own one out of warranty. 😅

[@nimish2073]

And they hated bmw for solely for weight.

[@imBugra]

a 525kg heavier 'saloon' car. imagine the wear and tear on the wheels and tyres with that weight. they're barely able to hold the high pressure.

[@Ervin-1190]

@@imBugra Let's not forget about the brakes and fuel consumption. Don't think owners of a new one care, but either way, more weight is never better in a car, especially one that wants to be sporty.

[@Ervin-1190]

​@@nimish2073 True, but to be honest: A M5 is a smaller size car than a S-Class. But it weights just a bit less. So for its size, it indeed is quite heavy.

[@imBugra]

@@Ervin-1190 I’m actually a potential buyer of this car in the next couple of years, although I won’t. Each corner of ceramic brakes would easily cost you north of €4k. I have carbon ceramics on mine, this weighs more than 200kg+ compared to mine, imagine the wear/tear. An M5 owner is surely caring about the running costs, it’s not a super car. Actually, everyone does.

[@hottub2249]

I was never a huge fan of how they did the cockpit layout. I hope the next generation changes this. My guess is that didn’t want to copy the trend of curved displays. I suspect they’re going to use a reconfigured version of what’s in their EQ series of cars and the S Class will have a hyper screen.

Man those screens already look dated and cheap for the price of the car. Exterior design is also incredibly boring and barely possible to tell between all the other models in their lineup

[@szotakandrei]

A friend's brother got one. Almost 300k euros. Has the brown interior, the seats are gorgeous But the interior, the screens - that look identical to the ones found in a C class - to me are just unacceptable at that price point. Piano black everywhere, finger print magnet... For 100k and a bit, you can get a Genesis G90 and get the same quality, if not higher, with far higher reliability, minus the "fame " of having a luxury brand on the front For the rest of the money, you can get a 911. This car doesn't make any sense, and not in a good way. But I guess if you have more money than sense... Sure

[@bob_8062]

So they pumped up the hosepowers just to get to the same power/weight ratio with the old model. Plus, or rather minus, u get a 300L boot capacity. And if u have a bit longer journey after u empty the batteries, you carry extra 500kg with you. That is good for the consumption, the wheels and for the road im sure. What a clown world
