As the top model of Mercedes-Benz, the AMG CLE63 has reached the time of launch, according to everyone's assumptions, this car will most likely use the same 671 hp four-cylinder hybrid system as the C63, which now seems to be basically unlikely.
Recently, Mercedes-Benz said that the CLE63 will use the more familiar 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine, equipped with a mild hybrid system, with a maximum power of 585 horsepower. If that's the case, then it will make about 100 horsepower less than originally planned. While it's unclear if the rumors are true, we saw the charging port on its test car; At the same time, the test vehicle did not have any engine sound, and all of this car must be a new energy version during the preliminary test.
Therefore, Mercedes-Benz's original intention must be to make a new energy model, but due to market demand and declining sales, it was decided to use the V8 engine version. The data shows that Mercedes-Benz C-Class sales are slowing down overseas, especially in the European and American markets, and in the United States, sales of Mercedes-Benz C-Class in the first quarter fell by about 3% compared with the same period last year.
If the rumors are true, then the Mercedes CLE63 will surpass the CLE53's 443-horsepower twin-turbocharged inline-six. It is reported that in the second half of this year, CLE 63 will be officially unveiled, and then the answer will be revealed.
