The fully digital instrument cluster allows you to alter your driving modes
Safety and After Sales Service – The talking point about safety is the fact that this is an all-wheel-drive which ensures added traction when the weather turns wet. But, of course, the E63S goes beyond that and offers all the required electronics including an ultra-sensitive traction control system which ensures you don’t get too carried away by the monstrous reserves of power and torque on board. Add to that the car’s tank-like build and a 5 star Euro NCAP safety rating, you indeed have a very safe saloon.

The E63S can switch from comfort to insane performance in no time
Verdict -The Mercedes-AMG E63S proves once again that the Stuttgart based automaker is deserving of the back to back championships it has won in Formula 1. The regular E-Class and the E63 feel like two different animals altogether, one excels in comfort and the other simply excites the senses like no other sedan in the market currently, it’s not only fast but also has a distinct character, that which doesn’t want you to stop driving it.

Mercedes-AMG E63s or the BMW M5? – pick one!
Testers’ Note:
“A few days before driving the E63 AMG, I drove the regular E220d. I was wondering if the AMG engine will be plonked on this saloon, will it be able to put down all the power properly? After getting behind the wheel of the E63 I got the answer, HELL YES! What a brilliant performance car, it handles the monstrous V8 power with sheer confidence and you feel glued to the road all the time. It has a muscle car feel to it with that roary exhaust note. I know one thing clearly, you can’t judge an AMG with its regular counterpart, they are poles apart!” – Aariz Rizvi, Assistant Editor, MotorBeam.
“There is something about the Mercedes-AMG E63S that just makes you go weak in the knees. Sure, it has a lot of power, but apart from that this super sedan offers an immersive driving feel with its engaging dynamics, sharp steering, loud exhaust, chuckable nature and of course the stealthy looks. I for one really like sleeper cars and if not for the Matte Grey shade, this one is one of the best sleepers around. I drove this car for so many kms, yet I never felt like returning it and this car just begs to be driven more and more.” – Parth Gohil, Associate Editor, MotorBeam.
