Mercedes 2021 – AMG C63

Mercedes 2021 – AMG C63

The number of Mercedes-Benz 2021 high-performance SUVs is increasing every year , but if you’re looking for a compact car that can ditch just about everything on the road,

Look no further than the 2021 Mercedes-AMG C63. It’s based on the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but has a twin-turbo V-8 that puts out 469 hp in the C63 and 503 hp in the C63 S. The C63 also has a sportier suspension tone (you’ll notice the harshest ride) and some exterior differences compared to the regular C-Class which It adds some aggressiveness to her look. It’s available as a sedan, coupe or convertible, and it looks like a Saturn V booster rocket is mounted on its roof. Plus, it has a legitimately luxurious interior and plenty of modern technology, so you can’t trade anything in for performance.

For m little thing about this year ‘s C63 changed. A once optional 12.3 digital instrument cluster is now standard across the lineup, as is the sedan’s panoramic roof and more paint colors from the non-AMG C-Class sedan.

While the 2021 Mercedes might prefer a coupe or convertible, our money is going to the sedan. It’s lighter than the coupe, and it’s easier for back-seat passengers to get in and out of, plus we like the simple look of the fast, four-door car. It’s hard not to want a more efficient C63 S, but the performance differences are slight. Only the S offers the AMG nine-step traction control system,

But we found it too intrusive in the C63 Coupe we drove at Lightning Lap 2019, so it’s not necessary. Instead, we’ll get the standard C63 sedan and add an exterior lighting package to get adaptive LED headlights and go off for the AMG Performance front seats, because they’re exceptionally supportive.

Mercedes 2021 engine, transmission and performance

But the 2021 Mercedes-AMG C63 and C63 S have a hand-built , twin-turbo 4.0- liter V-8 engine. In the C63, it produces 469 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. The C63 S raises the bar with 503 horsepower and 516 lb-ft. Both engines use a nine-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive.

Although top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph on the regular C63 and 180 mph on the S. In our testing, the C63 S went from zero to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and tore the quarter mile in 11.9 seconds at 122 mph. ; We did not test the C63. In Lightning Lap 2019,

The C63 S Coupe also turned in a 2:57.1 lap, making it directly behind the discontinued Cadillac CTS-V on our all-time list. All C63s come standard with an electronically controlled limited-slip rear differential and AMG Ride Control suspension with adaptive dampers.

Dynamic engine mounts are included in the C63 S variants. The handling is excellent. Equipped with summer tires, the C63 S managed 1.02 grams of lateral acceleration on our skateboard and braking from 70 mph to a stop in just 157 ft. This ability comes at the expense of comfort, as driving is harsh on rough pavement.

Mercedes 2021 fuel economy

There is no difference in EPA fuel economy between the C63 and the C63 S, but there are differences between the chassis styles. The sedan has ratings of 18 mpg city and 27 mpg highway. The coupe and cabriolet are both rated by the EPA at 17 mpg city, but the coupe has a 26 mpg highway rating versus the convertible’s 24.

Interior, comfort and cargo 2021 Mercedes

Black faux leather/microfiber upholstery is standard on the regular-strength C63, while S models have leather seating. Both versions get a choice of wood and aluminum interior finishes. We like the available AMG Performance seats, which feature ventilation.

Although you can load the technology into the cockpit, it’s a stylish car at heart, and the materials and ambiance match the high price tag. The C63 sedan has a trunk volume of 12.6 cubic feet, while the coupe has a smaller cargo area of ​​10.5 cubic feet. Both have a 40/20/40 foldable rear bench seat. The C63 Cabriolet features a standard powered soft-top (available in three colors) and provides 8.8 cubic feet of cargo space when the top is up, and the rear seats fold down with a 50/50 split.
