EV Channels Review

This road trip review of the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance highlights its potent hybrid powertrain, delivering an astonishing 831 horsepower and 1,032 lb-ft of torque. The reviewer praises the car's effortless acceleration, smooth power delivery, and impressive handling, particularly noting the effectiveness of the rear-axle steering and the grip from the Cup 2 tires. Despite its performance capabilities, the GT 63 S E Performance is also lauded for its surprising livability and comfort on a long journey, with a quiet cabin, adaptive suspension, and supportive seats, though some discomfort was noted after extended periods. The reviewer found the fuel economy to be around 22 MPG highway, aligning with expectations for such a powerful vehicle. While the hybrid system's transitions are mostly smooth, occasional minor hiccups were observed. The car's striking Sunburst Yellow paint and luxurious interior, complete with a high-end Burmester sound system and advanced driver aids, contribute to its appeal as a premium grand tourer, making it a standout choice for those seeking ultimate luxury and performance.
