The automotive world has been buzzing with excitement as Mercedes-AMG unveils its latest marvel: the 2024 GLC 63 S E Performance and GLC 63 S E Performance Coupe. Now available in showrooms, these cutting-edge crossovers showcase the brand's new turbocharged four-cylinder plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain, promising an exhilarating blend of performance, efficiency, and luxury.

A New Era of Performance

Gone are the days of the traditional twin-turbo V8 in the GLC 63 models. In its place, Mercedes-AMG introduces a groundbreaking PHEV powertrain that delivers unprecedented power and torque. The new setup features:

  • Turbocharged 2.0-litre Four-Cylinder Engine: Producing 350kW and 545Nm.
  • Electric Motor: Generating 150kW and 320Nm.
  • Total System Output: An impressive 500kW of power and 1020Nm of torque, a significant increase over the previous V8’s output by 125kW and 320Nm.

This potent combination is mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission with a wet start-off clutch, replacing the traditional torque converter. The system is further enhanced by a 6.1kWh battery and a 150kW electric motor featuring a two-speed transmission. The fully variable all-wheel drive ensures that up to 100% of the power can be directed to the rear wheels when needed.

Performance That Thrills

The GLC 63 S E Performance accelerates from 0-100km/h in just 3.5 seconds, improving on the previous model's 3.8 seconds. The crossover comes equipped with advanced features such as:

  • AMG Ride Control: Adaptive damping, active roll stabilization, and rear-axle steering.
  • Rear-Axle Steering: Offering up to 2.5 degrees of steering angle for agility at lower speeds and up to 0.7 degrees for stability at higher speeds.

The high-performance composite braking system features six-piston fixed calipers at the front and one-piston floating calipers at the rear, ensuring superior stopping power.

Design and Options

The 2024 GLC 63 S E Performance models come in two variations: the standard crossover and the more stylish Coupe. The GLC 63 S E Performance Coupe is priced slightly higher at $199,500, compared to $192,900 for the standard model. Both models come with an array of standard features including:

  • 21-Inch Forged Wheels
  • AMG Night Package II
  • Nappa Leather Upholstery
  • AMG Performance Multifunction Steering Wheel
  • 11.9-Inch MBUX Touchscreen Infotainment System

  • Graphite Grey Magno Paint
  • AMG Aerodynamics Package
  • Yellow Brake Calipers
  • AMG Performance Seats with Edition Logo

Additionally, the Performance Ergonomic Package ($6900) adds features like the AMG Performance steering wheel in Nappa leather and multicontour front seats. A ceramic composite braking system is available for an extra $8300.

Efficiency and Running Costs

Despite its high performance, the GLC 63 S E Performance maintains impressive efficiency with a claimed consumption of 7.3L/100km on the combined cycle. The electric-only range is 14km, offering a touch of electric mobility for short trips.

  • Warranty: 5 years, unlimited kilometres
  • Roadside Assistance: 5 years
  • Service Intervals: 12 months or 20,000km
  • Capped-Price Servicing: $5025 for 3 years, $6455 for 4 years, and $7180 for 5 years.

Safety and Standard Features

The GLC 63 S E Performance comes equipped with a host of safety features including autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, and a surround-view camera. The standard five-star safety rating from ANCAP applies to the GLC range, though it hasn't yet been extended to the AMG models.

Conclusion
