Fabulous luxury, impressive handling, and crushing acceleration combine in the new S63—all thanks to electrification.
A pair of transmissions channel that output to 4Matic all-wheel drive. Behind the engine is AMG's nine-speed wet-clutch takeoff automatic, while the electric motor uses an independent two-speed.
We held some skepticism leading up to the drive. Malibu's undulating, technical roads are more suited to lithe sports cars than muscular barges; straightaways are few on this drive. Having recently spent time in a 2023 S580e hybrid—and adoring its plush demeanor while lamenting its unwieldy road manners—we knew the S63 would need to be transformed to handle Malibu and justify its estimated $160,000 price tag.
Although the electric motor can accelerate the S63 to highway speeds, it seems to soften as it nears those. Pushing through a digital kick-down point fires the engine and sets the 2024 Mercedes-AMG S63 into Hybrid mode. As it does, a faint V-8 rumble disturbs the quietude—but nothing like our profane exclamations when we booted the accelerator.Certain subtleties hint at how disparate power sources work together to move the S63.
