HOW IS THE NEW HYBRID AMG? MERCEDES AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance is reviewed as a potent, albeit heavy, hybrid performance car. The reviewer highlights its aggressive AMG styling, impressive acceleration figures (under 3 seconds to 100 km/h), and the advanced Formula 1-derived hybrid drivetrain with a fluid-cooled battery pack. While the car offers exhilarating performance on the racetrack, particularly in its acceleration out of corners, the reviewer notes its significant weight (nearly 2.5 tons) and the compromise in everyday comfort. The suspension, even in comfort mode, is described as firm, and the car constantly reminds the driver of its sporty nature, making it less comfortable than rivals like the CLS, Panamera, or A7. The pure electric range is deemed insufficient for daily commuting, serving primarily as a performance boost. The reviewer suggests that for those prioritizing comfort, opting for the standard sport seats and 20-inch wheels might be advisable, or even considering a CLS or A7 if comfort is a higher priority. Ultimately, it's presented as a car for those who need four doors but refuse to compromise on a sporty focus, even at the expense of some everyday usability.
