Price revealed as Mercedes-AMG debuts hybrid four-cylinder C63

Revealed as far back as last year, Mercedes-Benz South Africa has officially priced the controversial new four-cylinder hybrid AMG C63 S.

Most powerful AMG C-Class ever made has not been universally welcomed for ditching the V8 engine for an electrified 2.0-litre in a plug-in hybrid setup.Mercedes-Benzfor eschewing the bi-turbo 4.0-litre V8 engine for the electrified 2.0-litre used in the AMG A45 S, AMG CLA 45 and AMG GLA 45, the W206 generation C-Class derived C63 becomes the first four-cylinder performance variant since the W202 generation C230 Kompressor.

Being a plug-in hybrid, the C63 doesn’t support rapid DC charging and as such, is fitted as standard with a 3.7 kW on-board charger with the claimed all-electric range being 13 km at up to 125 km/h. Able to recoup as much 100 kW using the most regenerative braking system, the C63 not only sports a model specific electronic limited slip differential and retuned Electronic Stability Programme, but also six modes for the Dynamic Select system, namely Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport+, Race and Individual.
