Mercedes-Benz India has launched the most powerful E-Class of all time – the AMG E 63 S 4MATIC+, in the Indian market. This agile yet practical saloon comes equipped with a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine that generates 612 hp of power. All that power can help the saloon accelerate to 100 km/h from standstill in a mere 3.4 seconds, making it the quickest car in the entire Mercedes-AMG line-up.
The AMG E 63 S 4MATIC+ also boasts several technical firsts, including cylinder deactivation system and the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT (Multi Clutch Technology) nine-speed sports transmission combined with a wet start-off clutch. Additionally, the newly engineered 4MATIC+ system combines the advantages of various drive configurations.

Torque distribution on the front and rear axles is fully variable for the first time. Previously, the torque distribution was strongly rear-biased. The drift mode function, which comes as standard, when activated, turns the E 63 S 4MATIC+ into a purely rear-wheel drive vehicle.
The new AMG E 63 S 4MATIC + safety package includes:
- Radar-based driver assistance system – Active Brake Assist
- 7 airbags
- Adaptive dual stage airbags for driver and front passenger
- Side impact air-bags for driver and front passenger
- Window airbags
Multibeam Intelligent Light System comes with a variable light distribution with cornering function. The system is aimed to help adapting to any road conditions during night driving. The Adaptive High Beam with automatic switching between high and low beam further enhances the experience.
It’s an AMG so it must be expensive to maintain, wouldn’t it? Well, NO!
The competitive service packages provide the customers with convenience and true value for their money. For example, the Star Ease – Compact Plus maintenance package for the AMG E 63 S for 2 years for unlimited kilometers is INR 88,000 + taxes. Guess it’s fair to say, taking care of the most powerful E-Class of all time, is not so expensive, after all.
