Overview

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz AMG C 63 Sedan makes for an excellent contender in the compact sedan segment. With a single trim on offer, the Mercedes-Benz AMG C 63 Sedan has a base MSRP of $59,800, and competes indirectly with midsize sedans like the Audi A6, the BMW M550i, and the Jaguar XJ V8. Only a 6.3L V8 engine is offered, mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 451horsepower and 443lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 3.8 seconds, the AMG C 63 Sedan maintains a combined fuel economy of 18 MPG. Mercedes offers the AMG C 63 Sedan in 8 stunning colors, with the Steel Gray Metallic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The one trim that the 2013 AMG C63 comes in is more than sufficient, it is a one fit for all kinds of trim. The stand-alone trim has features like keyless entry, telematics, sun/moonroof, and much more. You can also add the AMG development package ($6,050) for a more sporty outlook with features like a carbon fiber trunk lid spoiler, a 174 MPH top speed limiter, red-painted brake calipers, and increased engine horsepower.
