Mercedes-Benz India is all set to launch the C 63 S E Performance sports sedan in India on November 12.

Read on to know more about the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance and its India launch details.

Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance details

The Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance tops the C-Class range globally thanks to its Formula-1-derived powertrain offering ballistic performance. The C 63 S E Performance will join Mercedes-AMG’s plug-in-hybrid performance lineup that includes models such as the GT 63 S E Performance as well as the S 63 S E Performance. The new flagship C-Class now uses a plug-in-hybrid 2.0-litre turbocharged powertrain in place of a twin-turbocharged V8, which was on offer with the last iteration.

Speaking further about the AMG C 63 S E Performance’ powertrain, it uses a plug-in-hybrid unit along with a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-banger. The engine alone puts out 476PS of power and 545Nm of torque. With the boost from the hybrid setup, the outputs jump to a whooping 680PS and 1020Nm of torque, which is much more than its class rivals. Furthermore, it is also capable of driving for over 13km on sole battery power. To put all the torque down to the ground, the sports sedan uses a 9-speed automatic transmission coupled with all-wheel-drive, resulting in a 0-100kmph sprint time of 3.3 seconds.
