Here’s the 2025 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S in coupe flavour packing a 500 kW punch.

Mercedes-AMG has revealed the coupe versions of the GLC 63 S and GLC 43 luxury SUV. First order of business, let’s chat about that powertrain.

As a reminder, Mercedes-AMG made the decision to downsize from a thunder biturbo 4.0-litre V8 to an electrified 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder. So that’s half the cylinders gone and half the cubic capacity too. Fortunately, the numbers tell a different story. With the engine at its sportiest, it’ll deliver 500 kW and over 1 000 Nm.

This is only available for 10 seconds, however. In general day-to-day operations, the M139 2.0 makes 350 kW and 545 Nm, with the electric motor filling in. AMG claims this engine is the most powerful series production 4-cylinder engine in the world. The GLC 63 S E-Performance hybrid tech may lack that V8 sound, but a 0-100 kph time of 3.5 seconds should help restore things.

The new 2025 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S features 4Matic+ all-wheel drive, 9-speed automatic transmission, AMG ride control suspension with adaptive dampers, rear-wheel steer as standard and customers have the choice of 19-, 20- or 21-inch wheels.

Inside, there’s the option of the beautiful AMG sport seats (tick that!) which you see here. The Nappa leather flat-bottom steering wheel features aluminium shift paddles as well as the AMG steering wheel shortcuts which allow quick access to driving modes, exhaust settings and more.

The in-car MBUX infotainment system has a few AMG-specific features and displays and the AMG Track Pace app is standard.

When will the 2025 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S arrive in SA?

At this stage, Mercedes-AMG has yet to confirm European pricing or arrival date for the new 2025 GLC 63 S coupe. We’ll update this article as soon as we get more info.
