Overview

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG E 63 S Sedan makes for an excellent contender in the midsize sedan class. With a standalone trim on offer, the Mercedes-Benz AMG E 63 S has an MSRP of $104,400, competing directly with the Audi RS7 and the BMW M5 Competition Package. Only a 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine is offered, mated to a 9-Speed Automatic transmission. Together, they produce 603 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 3.3 seconds, the AMG E 63 S maintains a combined fuel economy of 18 MPG. Mercedes-Benz offers the AMG E 63 S in 13 stunning colors, with the Lunar Blue Metallic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The Mercedes Benz E63S AMG is the stripped-out, high-performance version of the standard E-class and comes as a standalone trim option. It features AMG-tuned suspension components, heated and ventilated front seats, a limited-slip rear differential, and an array of hi-tech features. We also recommend the optional Carbon ceramic brakes for better braking performance On and Off the track.
