Unleashing the Power: The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S E Performance Is Here

2024-08-08

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
Burmester 3D Sound 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.

Servicing and warranty details include:

The standard five-star safety rating from ANCAP applies to the GLC range, though it hasn't yet been extended to the AMG models.
