Mr Harris please don't ever stop reviewing cars.. You aren't boring anyone with that technical talk it's why we choose to watch your videos.

Chris is like the cool Grandpa that learns all the new lingo and knows how to work their phone, but still sticks to their old school ways. Great man Chris is.

I own a c63 507 edition and let me tell you, there is no better feeling then having the knowledge that under my right foot I have the command of 500 stallions that stand to attention at the mere extension of my right foot. Listening to that deep rumble with an undertone of " push me too hard and I'll kill you" at 8am before work on a winters morning !

Most people don’t buy an AMG to be the fastest car on the street. It’s to hear the glorious noise of the V8. You can rarely use all that power that the old car had, much less this new one. Thus “more performance” is not a substitute for removing the V8.

My 2019 c63s with decats and tune making over 540whp is the best feeling knowing it can be quiet and a cruiser or a loud barky machine 😊

Heavier than W221 S class S63 from 10 years ago, must be fun to drive!

Yes, a heavier car can perform almost as good as a lighter model by engineering larger tires, brakes, engine.. But you'll replace them much more often and/or it'll be much more expensive without even considering fuel consumption.. You can solve the weight problem with a lot of engineering and money or you can solve it at its roots.. Light is right!

It's just so fiendishly complex, there's no way you'd want to own one after the 3 year warranty! The servicing, running and repair costs will be astronomical.

Perverse! long live AMG - Brabus etc. At 50yrs old I feel lucky enough to remember the crazy 80's - 90's cars all the tuners made. Love it!

Drove my mint 2010 C63 P31 yesterday. The chuckle and chills it's start up sound gives me every single time will never be matched by this thing. Ever. If I want 700hp, I bolt a supercharger kit on it. But honestly, the dynoed 494hp it puts down stock are entertaining enough for me. The interior sure looks impressive, but also a bit overwhelming.

Thanks Chris. Struggling not to say that the best thing about the old C63 was the sound track from that glorious 6.2L V8. One of the few cars I will always drop a window to listen to as it goes past. I know it has been a 4.0L TT V8 for a while and that sounded good enough. But this? I suppose for most of us the glory of a machine like this is the experience of the non-driver as that is how those of us who can't afford or justify one with man-maths experience it. From that perspective this feels like a loss. But then we're not the ones keeping Benz in business.

Chris Harris not uproarious over this new C63 in regards to the 4 cylinder and weight? I’m very surprised

I see Chris Harris I instantly click

What will happen once that car gets to five years old or even ten years old. Will it become a classic like the 6.3 V8 W204? I'm thinking batteries getting old, the four cylinder engine getting tired because it is such a high stressed motor? Somehow I just cant see the W206 C63 being a good long term proposition. I may be wrong.

3:40 The C55 AMG front wasnt extra build, it is the CLK 209 front.

As ever Mr Harris delivering like only "THE BEST" in business can. Thank you. By the way, the wagon looks amazing and indeed should be an all year around weapon.

Always love the way Chris can be so candid on the podcast and these videos

Sweet ride, Chris is very honest in his delivery. Thank you 👍👍👍👍

Got to be said…Chris is always interesting talking about cars and this video is no exception!

Id rather have -100 bhp Less than the old v8 @400 bhp but keep the v8 Brilliant 4 cylinder but heavier 👏 Sure thats really going to save the polar bears not.

Brilliant and enthusiastic explanation as always. 👍

That’s madness to think that it’s got MacLaren F1 power levels ! That seemed crazy back in 95 & now we have estate cars with that power 😮

Whenever Harris pops up in my feed i know its gonna be good. Another great video, can't wait till he drives it.

I could watch Chris all day talk about cars. Just keep doing what you do best, being yourself and your expressive love for cars.

Yes, Chris, I have totally enjoyed you trying to be interesting talking around a stationary car. And you make good points. The amount of performance plug-in-hybrids can provide from such small engines is just great.

I hated the hybrid C63 when it was a rumour, I hate it even more in the flesh

Great vid Chris, looking forward to the drive test, really looks to be a subtle weapon indeed!

Chris Harris is the man. Been watching your vids for probably 12 years now, roughly since you reviewed the P1

Mr Harris, I don't think I'll ever get to drive C62 AMG of any generation, yet it makes me sad to see the V8 go away. The sound , and presence it brought to the car, I can not Iamagine a 4banger with the battery can deliver. Please make a follow up video once you drive it and be completely honest. Thank you♥

You are the best Chris and i love your videos ✊🏼 pls do some more and more frequently 😎 best of luck

My favorite little brown man and car youtuber, no homo. I don't care how powerful it is, these cars have been more powerful than most of us normals can safely use, for a long time. The greatest appeal of these AMGs has been their amazing sound track from those V8s. I'll never busy one of these and will keep my V8 for ever, even if I have to replace everything, owning an AMG is about that guttural V8 experience for the ICE engine generations. This is a great car for a hairdresser or a Hollywood corn holer.

Wish they brought this sort of content into top gear.. You're great at what you do Chris.

I'm a simple man. I see Chris Harris and a nice car in a video thumbnail, I watch the video. This has served me well.

Very good content Chris Rocks! Subscribing!

Chris, you’ve made a boring video about a stationary car fun and interesting. Best video I e watched in a while.

W204 C63 was the peak

Screw that, I'll stick with the 6.2 and the 4.0 before any 4 banger, no matter how fast it is.

Loved this video regardless

Channelling your inner Chris Goffey there mate. So much old skool references there for us OG's, love it.

I don't think I'd be as annoyed if they'd managed to get a 6 under there. Maybe it's just me, but I don't want a 2.0 litre 4 cylinder in my sport saloon. It's the reason why I bought my 1 series over a Golf GTi, and everything I've had before that. I'd definitely still rather have an M3, even with that ghastly front end, I think I like the RS4 more than this too. I just thing the weight is silly too. If everything we drive is over 2 tonnes our roads don't stand a chance of staying in one piece. I get it though, it's not for me. Shame, because my favourite car I've ever owned was my E46 330i estate, and I've always wanted a 6.2 C/E63.

For quite a while I expected you to drift it like a hooligan! Very nice car, great report!

Great job Chris, and yes you had my attention all the way through. Always interesting to listen to someone smarter than me.

*I THINK…* We need to start moving past HP figures, as electric almost gives any number you require. And we start focusing on weight, dynamics and driving pleasure.

Simply waiting for the road test. I think it looks awful but the whole class does now. A comparison test alongside the new M3 Wagon will be fascinating

Hi Chris thanks for the awesome videos you make you're, without any doubt,for me, the best youtuber car presenter. That video of gr yaris one of the best I'ever seen I've watched it 555 times. Thanks for everything and keep the good work.

That was the best "talking around a stationary car" review I've seen so far 😄

Not bad for stationary car. Great, as always, Chris!!!

Amazing car. But I can imagine the servicing (and any repair) cost will be insane.

Love the video

Quality review as always mate

Cheers for the video, i personally loved the techy data stuff - please don't stop "boring" us! Not enough people dare (or care) to do the informative bits these days.. Can't wait to see how these new machines will hold up throughout the years! I would love to drive one despite being very conservative in regards to driving emotion, though it's probably lovely in its own right. BUT if I had the money I would rather buy an old E55, a Citroen XM V6, and a BMW E39 528i Touring to do all the things that this car does (except the frugality of the powertrain of course) The future is inevitable though but luckily it doesn't look too boring, although a bit quiet/synthetic.. Oh well, I'll enjoy the old cars while still possible and make use of the advancements in tire technology. And if anyone has read this far, thank you and have a lovely day and weekend!❤️

Well, that was interesting… I’d happily watch Chris chatting in a stationary car all day. Great car. Too complicated? Probably. Amazing what can be done though. A real pinnacle of achievement for Mercedes.

Chris, you're not boring anyone. We would've stayed and watch a 1h review if need be.

Torque Fill - That's a new thing, MercedesISM 😜🤣 LOVING these new videos lads, very good indeed... Thanks heaps for geeky information along with the odd skid here and there ..... 👍👍👍

I thought Chris Harris would have been the only honest journalist about the new C63AMG but obviously even he can't say what he really thinks about that car. That's realy sad! It just feels like another Mercedes commercial!

If this is the future, I’ll be reaching for old keys

Stunning ! Looks like that's going to the number 3 spots on my dream list behind the GTS and the GTC4Lusso.

Great video, really interesting watch and a great looking weapon, look forward to the next one :-)

I'd say the next E63S will be a ~3.0L V6 or I6 + sparks, around 800-850hp

Have to say I hadn’t looked at any reviews of this cos it didn’t interest me with I4/EV but you’ve explained it really well, especially it’s a performance EV stance rather than just for economy. Truth is even being a bit portly makes little difference in the real world of day to day driving. They’ll be eye wateringly expensive here in Aus. I think 680hp on the public road is getting a bit silly now though…

Wow - if the wagon came to the US I'd be very excited!

Awesome video

Chris Harris is a class act isn’t he.

This car deserves a different name to stamp its own identity. The C63 will always and forever be tied to that roaring sound and aura of hooligan. Lazy marketing or whatever, this ain't no C63 AMG, imo

That is a painful intriguing car. AMGs are all cool, but the wagons have always been the coolest. #1 Brilliant work as always, Chris and Sam!

Can no longer watch top gear because it's purely an entertainment show and less about car's. This I like because it satisfies the thing people hated about me and car's. My nerd 🤓 I love the detail's just as much as I love side way's smoke bellowing madness. Great vid proper car stuff 👏🙂

I enjoyed watching the Video. Definitely one of the best Hybrid Performance Estate Cars 😊

Hey Mercedes, remember when reliability and Mercedes went together. Remember bragging how your cars would go 300,000 easily? Remember the grill medallions you would send owners for crossing mileage milestones? I do.

I see Chris I click even if it involves a fat hybrid

Possibly the best review of the new C63 I have seen to date!

Well done 👏

It looks amazing on the outside but people forget how important the engine sound is to the experience of driving. But things like air con controls all on the screen is a nightmare to use. That alone is enough for me to say no.

I wanted to doubt this car. But Mercedes really seem to be pulling out all the stops. The C63 uses the same Tenneco CVSA2 suspension system as the AMG GT Black. The GT Black's extra 200kg over the GT2RS didn't seem to hurt it too much. With that suspension, the battery pack at the rear and over 50% of the weight at the rear the new C63 should be pretty interesting dynamically. (50/50 is NOT ideal despite what bmw says) AMG has to be benchmarking the G80 M3 internally. Because if this car comes out and with all its E Performance tech it looses to a ICE only G80 it will be completely useless. I'm kind of suspicious why the press drive only had journalists ride along with engineers and not driving impressions from the journalists.

You do a very good jobs of choosing cars to make videos, been wondering about this car 👍

I did find it interesting Chris, good effort. You might have a future in this presenting game you know. 👍🏼

I am very disappointed to learn that Chris Harris, who I personally consider as a strong petrolhead and an honest person having criticized ferrari in the past, appraises a 4 cylinder engine in an amg car. Comparing its 10 second power output (when the battery is charged and when the appropriate mode is selected) with the m4 6 cylinder engine, sounds to me like a comparison other type of reviewers would make. Additionally it is not mentioned that by ditching the V8 c63 loses the one major advantage all these years had: the biggest engine among the other german performance cars in its class that produced the best soundtrack. Nowadays it packs the smallest engine with a sound vw golfs naturally produce. I personally believe that there is no point for anyone having the previous c63 downgrading to that year’s model, after all driving a sports car is an emotional experience.

Another golden review from Chris but I just hate the whole electric dribble. It’s not clean it’s not green but at the same time I am in awe of how much power it adds

Impressive indeed

By far the best car reviewer Ever. Thanks chris.

If they did like they did in the new C43 AMG, a 48 volts mild hybrid, that would be cool! A45s engine + electric assisted turbo + 20hp/200nm electric motor to help at low rpm and totally eliminate turbo lag. Combined a total of 500hp and at least 650nm of torque. A 8 or 9 speed DCT, RWD only, making it lightweight with carbon panels and so on, no rear steering because it feels awkward, focus on the driving experience, exhaust note, feedback from the controls, dynamics etc... I believe it would be a sucess. Because having a lightweight 4 cylinder over the front has its advantages, however it has to sound good otherwise the experience is lost. Overall with the carbon parts it would be a lighter car than the M3, it would be more agile and more precise, probably even more fun if they did it right.

Wow that's a complicated machine, I'd hate to think what repair costs would be out of warranty.

I have to say, I love how this looks. I know they won't sell it in the US as an estate, but man does it look good.

Watching Chris Harris review a car is a fantastic thing!

Nice too see you Chris ! Actually I would love to see you driving and share your expertise. From my perspective what’s the point of having 2.1tons 680hp in a car that it’s not an extension of you ? (I’m assuming that a lot of the feel that you once experienced it’s not there, or is just to easy to drive)

I get the whole 'cheating physics' point, but just imagine all of that same tech applied to a car that actually was light. Imagine say an M3 that had all of the chassis and tire advancements of the last 25 years but weighed 3,200 lbs (the weight of an E36 M3) instead of the 3,900 lbs it weighs today. I get where the weight comes from (the whole turbo system on an M3 probably weighs 100+ lbs, the stronger stiffer shell certainly adds weight, the beefier drivetrain components to handle the additional power all add weight as well) but the question is are the things that are adding all of this weight the same things that are actually making the cars better or are they just the things that are making them pointlessly faster? I am a good driver, I have the lap times to prove it, M3s have been too fast for me to use at their limit in the real world since the E92. Hell my stage 1 Mk7 Golf R is pretty close to the limit of what I can push on anything reasonably tight. I enjoy the thrust of a powerful car on the straights as much as the next guy, but performance I can't use is wasted, and when it comes at the expense of the pleasure of driving that I can enjoy at real world speeds then it becomes less than useless. Anyways, thanks for coming to my tedtalk.

People were very negative about the weight of the R35 GT-R when it appeared, too. They mostly shut up pretty quickly

I want one ☝️ !! And back to the good old days talking about cars properly, liked it 👍

This is amazing. More performance and enjoyment without an increase in emissions. I'm constantly amazed at how smart engineers are. Bravo Mercedes and AMG.

It does not feel expensive - it just is

I dont watch anyone else reviewing cars, Chris is just the best

What a great video.

The trouble with this car is they've gone all in to give it all the things I don't want. Such power look very much - No thanks C63 was already more than powerful enough. Electric parts zap zap very quiet - I'll take the rolling away quietly but not at the cost of a load of added electric gubbins that can and do go wrong at great expense. Again, I don't need the power. Technology though surely blip bloop many screens push push yes - Fuck no, screens belong on a table or in your pocket. 99.9% of owners will use 1% of the tech in this car. It goes brum and moves me about, I don't need to know what the weather is two weeks from now, I don't need to talk to a nice German lady to activate this month's heated steering wheel subscription, just please fuck off. It looks nice but in all the ways that are meaningful to me it's worse than the old car. The V8 was already comfortably twice as fast as you would ever ever need in the UK, has more space inside, less technology to go wrong and - yes I'm going to say it - sounds like a fucking V8, this sounds like a Hoover on nitrous. Also about the weight, yes tire tech has come a long way, yes designers do a great job as masking the weight - but that all applies at 1700kg too, if 2.3 ton cars can drive like an old 1.8 ton car then imagine how well they would do at 2.0 ton. You can't just say it's OK because it drives better than a 30 year old car.

I think one of the issues here is the current E63 can be easily tuned to well over a 1000bhp. Can this pull those numbers? Probably not. The E63s dominate top end figures on the track, will this be able to do the same thing? I’d guess not. And lastly, I can picture a certain Gordon Murray hearing you say 2100kg isn’t that bad in a road car and having an immediate case of diarrhoea.

I don't know how he knew it, but he pulled me back in exactly when I was drifting off. Like he knew how long he'd have my attention for. Media legend.

What a car!!! Absolute beast!!

This is goign to be a huge flop and they wont understand why

Please God make this hybrid electric crap end.

The 1 second shot of the interior made me actually lol

Wagon drivers are a special breed (especially those without kids). One of my good buddies is into them and he would absolutely love this thing

well explained about the techy stuff. The car should be epic. Hope see one at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2023.
