The arrival on the market of the new Mercedes-AMG C 63 Saloon 2022 is taking a little longer than desirable. The top version of the range should already be on sale, but the testing program has been extended for a while longer. The most sporty sedan faces its last stages, hunted in winter tests with much less camouflage, and which you can see in these spy photos.
Those of Mercedes-AMG have returned to northern Europe, and to their base near the Arctic Circle. Those of Affalterbach have returned with the lowest models of their offer, if this qualifier can be put to the most extreme version of the Class C. The new spy photos they are a real bathroom in which we can see the new AMG C 63 Saloon from all angles, and much more uncovered in camouflage, almost strictly covering the most special areas of its design.
An important sign that its world premiere is getting closer and closer, and that It’s practically around the corner. In motion and also at a standstill, completely frozen, these prototypes already show their new design much more clearly. They won’t change the headlights though will have laser light, the grill with its vertical and slightly curved bars They are already shown in their entirety, while in the bumper the air intakes of the ends already appear. Those of Mercedes have included an additional grill in the lower part of the bumper with a design that is a visual extension of the upper grille.

The new AMG C 63 Saloon also features new alloy wheels. Although they are different depending on the axis, the front have a new aerodynamic ring, exposing the powerful brake system with perforated cast iron discs, revealed by the red brake calipers. The pilots will also be the same, and the rear will not change either with a more prominent bumper and the four square exhaust trims. Even the new and fine spoiler is appreciated on the edge of the trunk lid.
The only detail that is not appreciated is the cover on the rear flap of the battery charging port that it equips. The accumulated frozen snow prevents seeing this detail but it is present. The yellow dot on the rear window points to an on-board high-voltage system. This time we haven’t had a chance to take a look at its interior, but except for the sports seats and the specific declaration, nothing will change compared to a C-Class. Only the center console multimedia touch screen equipped as standard will be the largest, with almost 12 inches.
AMG technicians are finishing fine-tuning how the technology works.”AMG E Performance». The brand of the star will set a real precedent against his rivals. A PHEV with a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine up front and a powerful 204bhp electric motor behind. The new saloon will have all-wheel drive and 9-speed automatic transmission, in addition to a small battery with just under 20 kilometers of electric range. The system will deliver a maximum power of 544 hp, but the battery will provide an extra exceeding 650 hp for a few seconds. All with consumption figures and CO2 emissions that are almost laughable, and that we will see in a few weeks.
