WHY THE NEW S63 IS THE ULTIMATE AMG!

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes-AMG S63 E-Performance presents a complex proposition, blending immense power with a hybrid system that, while potent, introduces notable drawbacks. The reviewer highlights the staggering 802hp and 1430Nm of torque, delivering blistering acceleration. However, the significant increase in weight (2,520kg) and the hybrid system's occasional hesitation in delivering power, particularly in Comfort mode, detract from the expected AMG immediacy. The reviewer also notes the compromised boot space (305 liters) due to the battery and electric motor. On the positive side, the interior remains sumptuously luxurious, offering advanced features and impressive rear-seat comfort, especially in the long-wheelbase version. The carbon-ceramic brakes are standard and effective, and the active anti-roll bars contribute to a composed ride. Despite its performance capabilities, the reviewer suggests it's a car to 'consider' rather than an outright buy, citing its complexity and high price point (£186,015) as significant factors.
