- The German automaker has cut prices of the super saloon by 10%.
- The C63 S is now far cheaper than an equivalent BMW M3 Competition.
- Mercedes-AMG may update the C63 S next year with a twin-turbo six.
When was the last time you saw someone obsessing over the current Mercedes-AMG C 63 S on social media, or spotted one of these supposed super sedans cruising down the street? Exactly. The hybrid C 63 S has failed to live up to the legacy of its predecessors, with the spotlight firmly claimed by the G80 BMW M3, which stuck, you know, to what actually works.
However, if you’re one of the rare few who actually has an interest in owning the plug-in hybrid C 63 S, now might be the perfect moment to pounce.

In the UK, dealers are practically begging buyers to take these hot C-Class sedans off their hands, offering discounts of £9,500 (about $12,700 at current exchange rates) straight from the factory. That’s a price cut of about 10 percent, and many of the available cars are Night Edition Premium Plus models, which were originally priced at £99,595 ($133,700). With the discount, you can snag one for just £90,095 (~$121,000).
To sweeten the deal, these cars also come with two free services valued at £840 ($1,100). Not a fan of ownership? You can lease one for £979 ($1,300) per month over 48 months, but you’ll need a chunky £15,766 deposit (~$21,100), according to a report from EVO magazine.
Demand for the four-cylinder C63 S has never been as strong as Mercedes-AMG would have hoped, and it seems abundantly clear that it jumped the gun in downsizing its most beloved performance model. The reception to the model has been so poor that Mercedes is reportedly planning to abandon the four-cylinder and replace it with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six.
While not quite a V8, the current M3 proves you only need six-cylinders to have a fire-cracker of an engine, so we have our fingers crossed AMG can deliver an engine as intoxicating as BMW’s S58.
Thanks to the British price cuts, the C 63 S is now significantly cheaper than the M3 Competition, which starts at around £107,620 (~$144,500) locally. If you’ve been eyeing the M3 but are feeling a bit sticker-shocked, the C 63 S suddenly looks like a much more attractive option, even if it’s not exactly what you were expecting.
