Mercedes announced the pricing and range details of E63 Estate for the UK market. Powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8, the
long-roof version of the E63 gets the same, eye-popping numbers with its
four-door sibling, meaning 571 hp for the regular version and 612 hp for the E63
S.
For the first time in the model’s history, power
will be transmitted to all four wheels as standard, thanks to the newly
developed 4Matic+ all-wheel drive system with fully variable torque
distribution between axles and a dedicated Drift mode for the range-topping S
model.
The 612 hp version can also hit 100 km/h from naught in
3.5 seconds, with top speed being electronically limited to 250 km/h, unless you
specify the optional AMG Drivers package which lifts the limiter to a more
Autobahn-suited 300 km/h.
Mercedes offers the base E63 with a generous list of
standard equipment, featuring AMG Ride Control sports suspension, 19-inch AMG
five twin-spoke alloy wheels, Nappa leather upholstery, Comand Online with a
12.3-inch display and 12.3-inch widescreen cockpit display. The E 63 S adds
20-inch AMG five twin-spoke alloy wheels, active dynamic engine mounts, AMG
performance seats and a steering wheel finished in Nappa leather and Dinamica
microfiber.
There is also the Edition 1 model which is based on
the E63 S and offers more even more, with 20-inch AMG cross-spoke wheels in
black, designo Selenite Grey magno paint and AMG Night package. The cabin also
gets things like a pair of AMG sports seats and Dinamica steering wheel with
yellow contrast stitching, plus AMG carbon fibre trim.
Customers gunning for a new E63 S or an Edition 1
model can opt for a set of carbon-ceramic brakes (£ 6,995) and an AMG
performance exhaust system (£ 1,000). Other optional features includes an
exterior carbon package which adds front splitter, side sill panels, and rear
bumper finished in carbon fibre for £ 3,370.
Prices start from £ 81,130 for the Mercedes-AMG E63,
with the E63 S asking from £ 90,490. Finally the limited Edition 1 model is
