Overview

Competing in the midsize sedan segment, the Mercedes-Benz AMG CLS 63 S Sedan is a direct competitor to the Audi RS 7 Sedan and the BMW M6 Gran Coupe Sedan. The Porsche Panamera Turbo Sedan is also a potential rival with a considerably more expensive price tag. With a standalone trim, the AMG CLS 63 S starts off at an MSRP of $108,900. It is offered with a 5.5L Twin-Turbo V8 engine and a 7-speed automatic transmission, producing 577 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. Through this powertrain, the AMG CLS 63 S manages a 0-60 of 3.5 seconds and a combined fuel economy of 18 MPG.

Buying Advice

We strongly recommend the Driver Assistance Package and the Premium Package. Furthermore, if you can invest more, the AMG carbon ceramic braking system is also a valuable addition.
