- Base price starts at 121,856 euros[1]

With the E PERFORMANCE drive in the GLC 63 S (fuel consumption, combined: 7.5 l/100 km, CO₂ emissions, combined: 170.0 g/km, power consumption, combined: 12.7 kWh/100 km)[2] Mercedes-AMG has launched the first performance hybrid SUV. It can now be ordered from sales partners in Germany and online at prices starting at EUR 121,8561.
The exclusive Mercedes-AMG hybrid powertrain in the GLC 63 S E PERFORMANCE is designed for maximum performance. It combines the AMG 2.0-litre turbo engine with an Electric Drive Unit (EDU) on the rear axle for an inspiring driving experience with high efficiency. In addition to the clearly noticeable thrust, the unique hybrid layout also ensures balanced weight distribution – driving dynamics and handling benefit equally from this. Depending on the driving programme and driving conditions, the electric motor boosts output and torque as the situation requires, thus conveying either a particularly comfortable or a performance-oriented driving experience. Purely electric driving is also possible.
The electric drive train and the high-performance battery with 400 volts are AMG-exclusive in-house developments. As in Formula 1™, the battery with innovative direct cooling of the cells is specifically designed for fast power delivery and absorption. The combined system output is 500 kW (680 hp), the combined maximum system torque is 1,020 Nm.
The fully variable 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, the AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension with adaptively adjustable damping, the active rear-axle steering and the fast-shifting transmission reinforce the emotional driving experience that is typical of AMG. Another feature makes a decisive contribution to the AMG-specific tuning for high driving dynamics: the AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL active roll stabilisation as standard in the GLC 63 S E PERFORMANCE. Instead of using conventional, rigid anti-roll bars, the system compensates for body movements electromechanically and thus in a much more differentiated manner.
