This is a sedan that lives up to both its name and its price.

The 2024 Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance may not have the V8 or that precious natural engine noise gearheads love, but it has a great deal to offer. Not only is this top-notch luxury, but this car represents the future of Mercedes-AMG and the luxury auto market in general. Of course, Mercedes always gets it right, but the new C63 S E Performance is a game-changer in more ways than one.

One of the most important aspects of any Mercedes vehicle is the exterior. This holds because people know the automaker for featuring bold yet classy designs for its cars. This is why most people can spot a Mercedes without even seeing the emblem first. Despite the similarities to the 2024 Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance, this car is still a departure from the appearance of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class vehicles of the past. This one has more muscular proportions. One example is the air intake on the hood, which is unique to the C 63 S E Performance. The air intake also functions as dual power domes.

The emblem on this car is another way it's different from both Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-AMG cars of the past. The automaker used a round black AMG badge to replace the usual Mercedes emblem for the first time. The change in badging represents more than a design alteration. Instead, it shows the future of Mercedes-AMG vehicles. The 2024 Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance also features the usual AMG-specific grille with vertical struts. As with all cars from Mercedes-AMG, the C63 is stylish beyond belief. Most people will forget that the vehicle lacks a V8 between the elegant exterior and the out-of-this-world performance.
