Mercedes-AMG E63 S : Review

The 2019 Mercedes-AMG E63 S 4MATIC+ represents one of the last great V8-powered AMGs before electrification takes over. With its 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, this luxury super sedan produces a monstrous 603 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque, launching it from 0-62 mph in just 3.4 seconds. It’s brutally quick but also completely refined.

The high-spec model we tested in MANUFAKTUR Magno Selenite Grey (Matte Grey) turned heads instantly. With aggressive aero, and quad exhaust, wide stance and flared arches give it a muscular look, while the AMG Night Package adds stealthy blacked-out details.

Inside, the AMG Performance seats in Nappa leather, and the flat-bottom AMG steering wheel create a perfect mix of luxury and sportiness. The dual widescreen MBUX system keeps things high-tech, offering crisp graphics and customizable displays.

On the road, the E63 S is a beast—ferociously quick in Sport+ and Race mode, yet smooth and comfortable in Comfort mode. The fully variable 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive lets you grip hard in the corners.

With AMG shifting towards hybrid powertrains, the 2019 E63 S stands as one of the last purebred V8 AMGs, making it a future classic.
