Everything You Need To Know! | 2024 Mercedes AMG C63

The high-performance variant of Mercedes’s entry-luxury C-class sedan returns as the 2024 C63, but this time it will get a radically different engine.
The previous generation was powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 with either 469 or 503 horsepower, but this new-generation C63 is motivated by a gasoline engine half that size: a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that combines with an electric motor to make a whopping 671 horsepower in total.
The new plug-in hybrid setup promises to improve upon the previous C63’s great performance, though the engine’s character has no doubt changed radically.
To help mitigate turbo lag, the downsized engine uses an electrically powered turbocharger system related to the one found in Mercedes-AMG’s Formula 1 race car.
Running in full-electric mode, a fully-charged battery should provide about 6 miles of driving range.
The rest of the package is heavily based on the new C-class that debuted for the 2022 model year but with racier styling and a spruced-up interior.
Mercedes-AMG has also confirmed that the junior C43 model will also return to the lineup, but we review that model separately.
Gone is the old twin-turbo V-8 engine from the last-generation C63 and in its place is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder.
But before you get disappointed at an engine half the size of the old one, you should know that this inline-four will be augmented by a 201-hp electric motor and uses an electric turbocharger to reduce turbo lag.
The new high-performance plug-in hybrid propulsion system will pump out a massive 671 horsepower, giving it an edge over rival performance sedans such as the BMW M3 and the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing, at least on paper.
This setup allows for some limited all-electric driving, but only about 6 miles or so; its purpose instead is to provide similar performance to the outgoing car with better overall fuel economy.
During our first test drive, we were impressed with the C63's sharp handling and explosive acceleration.
The electrified powertrain packs a wallop and we think it'll be capable of hitting 60 mph in just 3.0 seconds.
We were able to sample the car on a race course as well as on public roads, and its cruising demeanor is more comfortable than the outgoing model.
The EPA hasn't released fuel economy figures for the 2024 C63 sedan yet. But due to the introduction of the downsized engine and hybrid system, we're expecting to see some fuel efficiency improvements over the outgoing model which was rated at 17 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
When we get a chance, we'll take the new C63 sedan on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test route and update this story with its results.

It could have 1,500 HP and a 0-60 in 1.5 seconds... and I still want no part of this! They are missing the point here, by a large margin!
