Mercedes-Benz, a German luxury vehicle manufacturer, has rolled out the new AMG S 63 E Performance in the Indian market. The brand is offering the AMG S 63 E Performance as the new flagship variant of the S-Class range, marking the return of the high-performance car to the Indian market. The AMG S 63 E Performance is available at a price of INR 3.30 crore (ex-showroom). Based on the older generation S-class model, the AMG S-class was formerly offered as a coupe in India. However, the brand then replaced the previous version with the new-generation model, which is only available as a four-door sedan worldwide.
The AMG S 63 E Performance is the brand’s second plug-in hybrid car model after the famous AMG GT 63 E Performance. The newly launched AMG S 63 is the most powerful S-Class ever. The auto giant has also unveiled the limited-run S63 E performance Edition 1 variant in the country. The Edition 1 variant is priced at INR 3.80 crore (ex-showroom). The AMG S-Class will initially be offered in the Edition 1 variant. Mercedes will sell the Edition 1 variant in limited numbers.
