The AMG That Lost Its Soul | 2024 C63 AMG Review 

DON’T take a shot every time I say “C63” in this video.. act like a responsible adult and don’t even do it for HALF the amounts of time I say it, but maybe for 10% of the time (don’t worry, you’ll still catch a good buzz)

It doesn't matter how fast this car is, 100k for a 4-banger is insane!

They should have named it C53 and people would have accepted it more. Unfortunately this is where the car industry is going. Need to hold on to your V8.

The world is upside down now. It’s not about the numbers with this car. Never was. It was ALWAYS about the emotion. That’s history. At least you had a rich history with what the car truly was- you know its soul well my friend.

I'm going to go drive my E63S AMG with a 5.5L V8 now

8:00 Sounds like a lawn mower lol. C20 Turbo E AMG would be the correct name. Why not a 6 cyl at least..

This is going to depreciate like a rock🎉

Looks like a fucking fish, MB need to fire Ray Charles

Sounds like a souped-up Honda Civic.

You’ve gotta be outta your mind if you think I’ll spend over $100k for a 4 cylinder car 😂

What an awful noise!!! 😢 Having had a C63S with the v8, this is really sad to see.

I'll keep my Mercedes 5.5L V8 with x-pipe and tune. Sounds so much better than a 4-cyl.

"crackles like a girl" 😂😂That was a good one Mike!

That comparison to the W204 exhaust makes ALL difference to the point you're making! I wish all other reviewers would do that as it adds SO much weight to the description.

The rear of the car gives me nissan vibes lol

Nothing like 6.2 v8 beast!!!! Love mine

This C63 is almost as heavy as my 2014, 7-seater Mercedes GL550 SUV. That's insane.

I mean.. The new "C63s" Looks amazing from inside and Outside.. It it fast... It has a lot of new features etc etc... But... Power and how it look.. is not all... It doesn't sound like C63s... most ppl (and me as well) want a PROPER SOUND... Sound of a V8... Not a fuckin 2.0L Engine... I mean look under the hood.. There is a lot of free space.. Enought space to put a 4L V8 engine from the 205 model... Another thing... AMG DOESN'T NEED ANY HYBRID ENGINES!!!! No, we don't want this... We want a ONE ENGINE IN OURS CARS!! ONE... JUST ONE... God.. Can't believe Mercedes do something like this to an AMG... There is absolutely no chance Im gonna trade my W205 C63S for this... NEVER... EVER!!! (unless they put a ONE proper Engine to this car... 4.0 BITURBO V8) 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Without the V8, nothing else matters. I would have bought a 2024 C63 if it was a coupe with a V8 but I brought a Lexus LC 500 Instead because it still has a V8 and I could care less that it's not as fast, that doesn't matter 99% of the time on the street.

The back looks like the Acura ilx 😮

nice review......great details and history of the model... super informative !

"It started by the way. You just can't hear it." Dude sounds so disappointed 😂

This should be the c43 with no electric motors same as a45s The c63 can ONLY have a V8 LISTEN UP MERCEDES you learned the hard way noone has bought them

I hear that in 2026 they're launching the 2 cylinder version. Personally I'm more excited for the 1 cylinder in 2029.

Imagine how fast it would be as a hybrid V8.

8:02 Sounds like someone cutting the lawn.

You are totally correct. This has moved away from the AMG spirit. I expect they will produce a V8 C63 again soon.

It used to be when you fired up your C63, people would notice. Even non-enthusiasts knew a little sedan should not sound like that. With this C63, it sounds just like the Honda Civic next to it in the parking lot. I am truly disappointed it has come this. Go buy your V8’s now folks and hold on to them! They are dying off like manual transmissions.

Mike has def been hitting the gym! Bro you looked jacked!! Respect 🫡

I didn’t know the C63 sales cooled down. Hey manufacturers…Sound Still Sells! Thanks for posting, I agree with you 100%.

💯 with you on this one! First time a rida on a 63 was in a 19 model, brand new and I still remember the feeling of rawness!

The Gen Z comment got me rolling 😂

The german accent was on point 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥

The (CAFE) standards have done this and number of V8's cars in.

You’re right, it has lost its soul!

Best Review Title of all C63 Reviews!! Spot on. By the way, it is interesting that back in 2010, the w221 S250 CDI Diesel S-Class was also a 4 Cylinder that "did not match the car". However, a lot of people liked the small torquey Diesel in a luxury sedan and so there was no big PR desaster as we see with the new C63. Of course: You could still get the "state of thr art" 500/550 v8 so everyone was able to choose... but you get the point...

Choosing this over a rs3 or m3/m4 is insane

The interior quality on these new gen mercs are also lower quality… lots of the trim feels cheap and poorly put together.

The reason they went with this engine is two fold in my opinion. AMG invested so much in the AMG ONE flagship that they thought they could recoupe the investment by applying this hybrid technology to the C, E and S model. Besides, who doesn’t want more HP, right? Obviously they didn’t get that right. The second reason is the car emissions regulations. MB has to reduce the qty of V8 engines, so they are keeping the V8 for the G63, SL, GT, S class and so on. That said, I for one think it would of been wiser to have the C43 and the. C63 with the M256 six cyl. Engine. Great engine, it can offer superb performance and sound. But now that AMG has boxed themself in with 671 HP using a 4 cylinder, how will they resolve this major problem. It’s a long road to build up a brand but as we can all see, doesn’t take much to kill it. As far as I’m concerned, AMG dies in 2015 upon the dilution of the brand. It’s over folks, time to move on to another brand.

Thanks for the honest review!❤

Great review, Mike 👍👍👍

GREAT REVIEW!

I thought I read somewhere due to slow sales, MBZ was going to stop selling these and go back to the V8s.😎

No V8? NO THANKS! not that I can afford it regardless but still my point stands.

Great video!

You reviewed a name, not a car

"I'm not allowed to launch the car.." proceeds to launch the car 😂

At idle it kind of sounds like the Altima 2.5s lol

Why does merc decided to make the front of the car wider than the rear? It looks funny. They are trying to make it look like a 3 wheel car or something 😆

Autovlog Great Review I definitely agree that the All New AMG C63S E Performance sounds like an AMG CLA45 should and I hope AMG will end up making a Biturbo V8 option

I don't know what's worse. This or the new bloated M5.

Mikes guns are getting huge. must be from all them push ups :) looking good mike

The V8's have, the word you're looking for is, SOUL. This one is missing its soul

What an exciting lawn mower 😮 you have here !!

I wonder about the long term reliability of that uber complicated hybrid system in there.

Funny watching an AMG guy come full circle just like the e9x M3 guys did 11 years ago. I remember you doing the review of the f80 talking about how BMW lost its way and talking trash about the M division. Glad to see you do the same for the AMG division. Even though you're an AMG guy, it shows you're a car enthusiast first.

Most of the non hardcore carguys are finally getting that, just like you said at 25:33, performance was never everything. Same reason why people loved Vtec Honda engines, it was always about how fun, how it made you feel when driving

It’s a shame .. if they want to do stuffe like this with a 4 cylinder engine in a car like this , they should at least let the V8 option stay , so people who don’t want to use so much money on gas and don’t care about sound , they could choose this option … it’s like when you live in a skyscraper where there are only stairs, and you then upgrade to an elevator, then you don’t take the stairs away from the building.. it’s really stupid not to keep both options.

Love the review! My oppinion is exactly the same!

I like the looks, the performance, and the interior. The sound? That's another story.

Looks like an infinity from the rear

Old AMG C63S was amazing yeha it not selling because of "4 cylinder" and now its a 4 door but the old one was 2 door amazing car but not goona go with this one loved the video 🔥

The most disappointing new AMG lmao (in my opinion) the interior and exterior is nice but then engine is just a no for me.

At 1:49 was there a squirrel at the rear tyre??

Maybe we need to wait for the external exhaust speaker to warm up so we can hear it more? Lol Saw one in person today and man..a turbo/exhaust swap on this car will be a breeze. Easy 1000hp platform. Still prefer a v8 hybrid for sure.

The C63 Black Series and C63 507 Edition also had hood vents 👌🏻

what brand of sneakers are you wearing?

the fact they still sell v8s mean they could have easily still kept it in this. BRING IT BACK AMG!!!

I thought somebody cut on a lawn mower in the video 😂

You look like your in very good shape, do you weight lift.? How about a channel about health stuff

I had one for half a day while my GLE63 was being serviced. Was over it in half an hour. Noise is annoying, no trunk space, hard seats. Was very quick but that's it.

The New C63 is not selling because it does not have a v8, it's not selling because it's costly. Yes, a New C63 W205 used to cost up to $100K but you get get it for $90K. Here in Canada the new C63, spec with all you may want is around $130k Canadian. AMG did not miss the point why placing the fuel saving, high power turbo 4 into the C-Class, it MB cost that is causing people to rethink the C63. Anyway, it's the reality of the automotive market since all have to make full electric cars by 2035.

minus the 4 banger hows the exterior, interior & tech?

Mike I honestly think your review was very fair. You didn't trash the car. You talked about alot of positive aspects. I've never owned one, but compared to what the C63 AMG has been, it's a great car on its own merit, but it's not a worthy successor. When you have a devoted fan base you must keep them happy!

The average driver doesn't need speed. They want something that looks good, sounds good and makes them giggle on the inside every time they fire it up.

Wil tix end up like 718 4banger fate?

It's not selling because of the astronomical price for a 4 banger and the unbelievable complexity of the drivetrain. This would be a lease only at best. People are terrified if they buy this and a check engine light come on at 50001 miles you might as well take it to the dump. No one, not even the dealership will be able to fix it.

Its a really cool car if it had a 45 badge or even an evolution of the 45, like "The C46S E-Performance" or something. Since it has F1 tech, F1 derived turbo, so on and so fort. But for the C63S, it should've come with the E63S powertrain; V8 Biturbo 4Matic+... Otherwise, it is a cool car. Not worth 100k though.

Mercedes did a favor for us Europeans. Instead of paying a car tax of $3000 per year or more for a v8 6.3 liter AMG, now we pay $70 per year for the same AMG with a 2 liter 4 cylinders. Same goes for mandatory insurance, which dropped considerably. Maybe in US and Middle East it's bad news, but in Europe we celebrate :D

The only real reason that these European manufactures are killing off fan favorite cars with the V8s, is because they have to. A lot of European countries are committing to banning internal combustion cars by 2035. And Europe has much stricter emissions regulation than we do in North America. So for them to sell their big V8s, Mercedes has to sell a bunch of hybrid/4 cylinder cars to make up for the "higher" emission from the V8s.

Exhaust note sounds like a Mini Van

I like them fast and loud!

been waiting for this review by AutoVlog for a while . 4 banger AMG that I like . almost 700 HP in a plug in hybrid with turbos . that my thing

My v8 powered 2021 c63s also has a limiter when the car in is park. The exhaust is also MUCH quieter than my old 2017 c63s. I think the soul of the c63s has had one foot out the door for a while.

My buddy who has sold Mercedes for 25 years told me said Mercedes had tone down the exhaust note. They don't sound even as good as a 2020 C43 that sound sick btw

Man why not go with inline 6 least but anything 63 is a v8 Benz failed with this one

I think when a dealership lets you review a car of theirs, it's to promote the dealership and hopefully drum up interest in the car. I'm pretty sure you helped them to NOT sell it. 😆 Personally loved the vid though. 😁

It’s looks great

Are those side vents functional?

I find that I had to really take my eyes off the road to use that central infotainment screen that’s below the level of the dash. My current M4 with the big screens up nice and high, and even the awkward iPad style from my W205 C63, have the screens at eye level so you just have to glance right to use the screen. Oh and…very happy I had the option to “only” lose two cylinders with my new M4. And it’ll do 2.8s launches all day long 😅

I’ll wait for 4 years after it’s really depreciated and opt for and just modify the exhaust then boom!! I get everything

You headed towards Hopewell?

Sexy looking car. That engine is sad. Couldn’t even go to a 6-cylinder. Also, crazy to pay $100k for a 4-cylinder which is also the heaviest, even more then a 8-cylinder.

This is the most perfect car ever made. It’s for people that don’t have enough money to be at the gas station everyday but still wanna go fast. I wish these would hurry up and come to Canada already. BEST CAR FROM MERCEDES LOVE THE 4 BANGER IN THE 63.

Mercedes themselves have confirmed that the CLE 63 will have the 4.0 TT V8.

I don't care. That 4 banger is awsome. Putting out 460 hp. Wow

It actually sounds decent. Certainly sounds better than it does over in Europe where all you can hear is the fake sound.

Mercedes not being able to put the power down that's something I've never heard MB is actually awesome at rwd launches

Personally, they might as well made it fully electric and gave it 800HP if it’s going to sound like that!

The problem for me is not that it is a 4-cylinder. Strength is force, so a kilo of iron is equal to a kilo of dirt. It is a kilo in the end The real problem here is that this 4-cylinder belongs to Mercedes or Renault.
