Test Drive Experience: The Cutting-Edge Tech and Luxury of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz AMG® C 63 S (part2)

Getting behind the wheel of a new Mercedes-Benz is always an event, but the all-new AMG® C 63 S takes technology, performance, and comfort to new heights. In our recent test drive, we explored the front seats, dug into the innovative features, and put the car through its paces on the road to see how it handles both daily driving and high-performance scenarios. Here’s an in-depth look at everything that makes the C 63 S a standout in its segment.

AMG®-Inspired Cockpit: Technology at Your Fingertips

Stepping into the C 63 S, the first thing you notice is the driver-focused cockpit, brimming with advanced controls and digital displays. The flat-bottom AMG® steering wheel stands out, now equipped with the AMG® Drive Unit—a setup that puts key controls right at your fingertips. With just a twist, drivers can toggle between various drive modes without taking their hands off the wheel, ensuring full attention on the road.

The steering wheel sports capacitive buttons, allowing for intuitive touches rather than physical presses, further modernizing the interior’s interface. Additionally, the left side houses adaptive cruise control and other assistance settings, while the right side manages infotainment, volume, and phone functions. Voice commands are seamless with Mercedes’ “Hey Mercedes” system, and the steering wheel also provides quick access to Siri or Google Assistant for calls and messaging, thanks to fully wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Fully Digital Displays & Customizable Interfaces

Directly ahead, the digital instrument cluster is both familiar and thoroughly AMG®. Users can customize the readouts, choosing from views like navigation, driver assistance, Super Sport, and Track Pace. The Track Pace feature is especially compelling for performance enthusiasts: it allows timed laps on a racetrack or even on predetermined routes.

The heads-up display further enhances safety and convenience, projecting key driving information—including speed and safety alerts—directly onto the windshield, letting drivers keep their eyes on the road at all times.

Modern Comfort & Connectivity

No luxury sports sedan is complete without attention to comfort. The C 63 S features wireless charging, multiple USB-C fast charging ports both upfront and in the armrest, generous cup holders, and thoughtful storage solutions. The panoramic sunroof glides open with a simple finger swipe, and a windscreen reduces noise and wind intrusion. Overhead, Mercedes integrates lighting controls, a 24-hour roadside SOS button, and the Mercedes Me button, linking the car to its companion app for additional digital extras free for the first year.

Advanced Safety Suite & Driving Aids

Safety in the C 63 S is comprehensive. A surround-view camera with projected guidelines and selectable viewpoints makes parking effortless. An audible and visual proximity alert ensures you’re aware of nearby obstacles, while an auto-parking feature can handle parking maneuvers for you.

Mercedes includes its full Driver Assistance Suite as an option (and present on the demo model), offering intelligent cruise control, active blind spot monitoring, and active lane keeping assist. Adaptive cruise control smoothly adjusts speed based on traffic, even coming to a full stop at intersections when necessary. Active steering assist can even help keep the car centered in its lane for short periods, adding confidence during highway travel.

Electrifying Performance

The C 63 S is powered by a handcrafted AMG® two-liter turbo engine, bolstered by an electrically controlled turbo and a rear battery pack, creating a plug-in hybrid system. This setup delivers an astonishing 671 horsepower and a 0–60 mph sprint in just 2.9 seconds. An array of driving modes, from Comfort to Sport Plus, transform both the engine note and the road feel, ensuring the car can be as relaxed or aggressive as you desire. And with Mercedes’ fabled build quality and a 4-year/50,000-mile warranty, peace of mind is included.
