2024 Mercedes-AMG S63 Review - OVER 1,000 TORQUES!

2024 Mercedes-AMG S63 review by The Straight Pipes. The Mercedes S63 AMG E-Performance PHEV is putting down 791 horsepower and 1055 lb-ft of torque from a 4L Twin Turbo V8 Plug-In Hybrid. At $270,640 CAD, would you take it over the BMW 7 Series, Audi S8?

My uncle had a new S class in the early 2000s. Drives like a dream brand new after 5 years became a ticking time bomb, and software crashed if like the car was flooded!? Insurance paid him out, and he went straight to the junkyard, even though the exterior and interior were in excellent condition. I can't imagine the complicity of overengineering in the long run for new models.

Anyone with any financial sense will lease a car like this considering it is under the 6000lb gvw tax right off and will depreciate well over 50% it's original MSRP in the first couple years of ownership. The rich will lease then the broke boys will buy them half off after the lease is up thinking they did something but the car will end up at an auction lot. I see it every day in the DMV.

A dealership has a new one local to me here in NC. They have it listed for $249,000, seemingly a $50,000 markup.

[@EmekaIheanacho-jc5td]

Madness

[@bladejames8208]

@EmekaIheanacho-jc5td Agreed, especially in 2024. We are well out of Covid shortages and markups. I am a current Porsche (992 "21") 911 C4S owner. I went shopping for cars, the R8 (used, near new) and new Porsche 991s in 2021. I tried to order one locally, $1,000 deposit, no ADM (Markups) but, told me 2.5-3 year delivery time. I called dealerships all around the country and they either gave me the same 2+ year wait time or ADMs (markups) of $20-$50k on base S and 4S models with 3-6 month deliveries. GTS was $50-$80k markups. Turbo S and GT3s were $80-$120k. Absolutely madness. I had to find a used one with every option I wanted. Finally found it and still (at the time a great deal) I had to pay 10k over MSRP for a certified 911 C4S with 1,600 miles on it. Now even in 2024 orders are taking 12-18 months and or they have ADMs still for cars that can be delivered in 2-6 months. The specialty cars like GT3 RS Dakar and the GT4 RS dealerships are marking them up $100k to double the MSRP. Porsche is ruining their brand because of these continued practices. Other manufacturers like Mercedes ect.... are doing the same with their specialty cars and or newest cars like this S63 locally for $50k over MSRP. Tell you this I was planning on getting a 992.2 Turbo S however. I am so disappointed with Porsche as a company due to their pricing practices allowed and their terrible dealership experiences I have had including from sales but, specifically the service department and having to deal with Porsche USA customer support advocate team due to issues caused by my local service department. I am done with Porsche until they change. Eventually these manufacturers and dealerships will have to change their current practices because customers are walking away. I know several car buddies who have already left Porsche brand or like myself are planning to.

[@DreaminRides]

it be great if you compared an older (maybe 2016-18) S63 with this new one and compared the interiors and ride quality. I still personally prefer the 2017-2019 S-class - it just looked so elegant on the exterior and had a CRAZY good interior design (with buttons lol).

[@eastbaystreet1242]

Agree. My 2017 S63 cab has real buttons for everything, amazing interior. I plan to keep it forever. Bluish black exterior with saddle interior. Upgraded Burmester is ridongculous, and this from a hand-built audiophile geek at home. With the top down the sound from the exhaust is just absurd for an S Class. Yet you can drop it into comfort and glide to dinner with the wife. I do prefer the old interior to the new design, but I understand they have to evolve.
