2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV: Next Level Electric SUV Luxury

2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV: Next Level Electric SUV Luxury

    One thing is clear from the brand with the three-pointed star – they put 100% into every vehicle they build. Indeed, the world’s oldest automaker has built desired motorcars over the 139 years since the first Benz, the Patent Motorwagen was built. For the 2023 model year, Mercedes offers up the stellar EQS Sport Utility Vehicle, the first all-electric Mercedes electric vehicle built in the…

@grbambi63's theory really made me peek into Daimler's 2018, 2019, and 2023 annual report to see the difference between Zetsche's management to Kallenius' management.

Zetsche's objective:

Kallenius had a similar objective on that too but I won't include it for today because we're not talking about the similarity but... the one thing Kallenius had that Zetsche didn't.

2019 & 2023's Kallenius-term annual report objectives:

Lower cost base. Reduction of (...) costs.

This isn't just some move that Kallenius added just because he loved saving some pennies but it might be due to the chaos that happens in his first year as a CEO. I am going to highlight two major events here.

1) Diesel Emission Scandal

In the beginning of 2018 (Zetsche's term), Daimler was accused of having shit devices on their control software for their US products but they denied this allegations. Then it was reported that the US authorities were investigating them for diesel emission cheating scandals.

In June 2019, Daimler had to recall 60,000 Mercedes diesel powered cars in Germany, the model affected is the Mercedes-Benz GLK 220 SUV produced between 2012 and 2015, the car is fitted with software aimed at distorting emissions tests. And during the same year, Daimler was fined 870 million euros in Germany for "negligent violation of supervisory duties" in relation to not fully complying with emissions regulations. In 2020, they had to pay $2.2B in settlement.

The scandal got serious actually as "The Daimler boss is also putting the german federal government in trouble. It has its back against the wall internationally because of the fraud committed by its flagship industry. US President Donald Trump has targeted Daimler in the trade dispute and threatened that he no longer wants to see Mercedes cars on Fifth Avenue in New York" source

This crisis ironically started at Zetsche's management but the peak of the case was handled during Kallenius' early stage of leadership 💀💀💀 (I FELT BAD FOR HIM NGL LMAOOO)

2) COVID 19

Do you think Kallenius' trials decrease after his first year? No. COVID-19 happens. They still profit as they are THEE Mercedes but sales were slow at one point. Kallenius and other executives had to take pay cuts due to COVID and even before, COVID he also had to struggle with Daimler's stocks dropping drastically while having to deal with the lawsuit and satisfying the investors. He also said this: (source)

Looking at how they have interesting differences as CEO. Kallenius is definitely all about cost efficient and maybe this was due to the crisis he felt in 2021 and as a preparation for Daimler's future ventures in focusing more about EQs

Update: Yeah this confirms that he had a pretty rough start to his management year in 2019 due to diesel scandal (source)

And bold of you to think that Zetsche retired from Mercedes with a bang. No he didn't. (source)

AND THE BEEF THICKENS as some board member reportedly are against his rise to be the chairman of the supervisory board (source)

Just a personal thought from me, but what if the reason Kallenius was pissed at LH in 2021 is caused by all these financial wrecks Mercedes are in during these years? They were hit again and again. To add that, Kallenius is very adamant on his cost efficient and cost reduction objectives after these hardships. And at that time, just after 2020, LH demands a raise. A raise from a company who is literally in the trenches fighting for a surplus and good result from all the legal battles they're in and COVID that caused the board members and employees to get paid cuts. Maybe this was what pissed Kallenius off? Because at that time, Mercedes wasn't doing so well and suddenly, LH asked for pay raise to a guy who is very set and clear about saving every pennies 😭😭 That must've pissed the hell out of him. I'm not saying Lewis is wrong but kinda 💀💀 to think that the butterfly effect from that moment of their contract negotiation in 2021 to what is happening rn in 2024 💀💀.

If that is true then Zetsche is the catalyst for the butterfly effect happening rn:

Zetsche diesel scandal>Him retiring>Kallenius' rise to position>Mercedes financial flopification due to dieselgate and covid>LH demanding more salary>Cost efficient and suffering Kallenius, with his hands full on Zetsche's mess, getting pissed at LH>LH and Mercedes fallout>Kallenius using George as a piece in the contract negotiation>Toto Wolff power decrease in Kallenius' era>George to Mercedes>Another contract negotiation problems>Ambassadorial promise getting yeetus deletus-ed>LH pissed>Ferrari move early>George steps forward as team leader

If this is real. If the butterfly effect is real, then it's crazy.

Brazil going green amid US$8bn local electric vehicle production plans

Brazil is turning the page toward electric vehicles (EV) with nearly US$8 billion in private sector investments aimed at kicking off the production of new EV models and their components on Brazilian soil. 

In addition to new EV models from traditional legacy brands such as Audi (Q8 e-tron), BMW (iX1, i7), Chevrolet (Bolt), Fiat (500e Abarth), Ford (Mach E), Mercedes Benz (EQE SUV), Renault (Megane E-tech) coming to the Brazilian market in 2023, three automakers will actually be producing EVs locally in the country in 2024. 

While US-based Argentine owned BMC (Bravo Motor Company) is investing US$5bn in local production, Chinese automaker GWM (Great Wall Motors) is injecting some US$2bn toward production, and its Chinese counterpart BYD (Build Your Dreams) is investing approximately US$600mn, the latter two taking place in existing factories.

Mercedes-Benz duplicou venda de automóveis elétricos em 2022

As vendas de automóveis ligeiros de passageiros elétricos da Mercedes-Benz mais do que duplicaram em 2022, para 117.800 unidades no plano internacional (+ 124% do que em 2021). A procura elevada por veículos topo de gama também marcou 2022: foi o melhor ano de sempre de vendas da Mercedes-Maybach (+37%) e as entregas do Classe S subiram 5 %.

A marca de automóveis de luxo mais valiosa do mundo terminou 2022 com um último trimestre forte a nível de vendas, com o fornecimento de 540.800 veículos ligeiros de passageiros Mercedes-Benz (+17%) e um aumento das vendas de veículos topo de gama e veículos elétricos. O período de outubro a dezembro marcou o melhor trimestre de 2022 dos veículos topo de gama com um aumento das vendas de 14% graças à elevada procura na maioria das regiões, apesar da continuação das medidas de combate à COVID, da escassez de semicondutores e dos estrangulamentos logísticos ao longo do ano.

Num 2022 desafiante, a divisão de veículos ligeiros de passageiros Mercedes-Benz forneceu 2.043.900 veículos (-1%). Rumo a um futuro totalmente elétrico, as vendas globais de modelos xEV (PHEV e BEV, incluindo a marca smart) da Mercedes-Benz atingiram as 319.200 unidades (+19%), representando 15% das vendas unitárias totais da divisão de veículos ligeiros de passageiros Mercedes-Benz em 2022. Esta divisão mais do que duplicou as vendas de veículos elétricos para 117.800 unidades (+124%). Incluindo a marca smart, praticamente um em cada dois modelos xEV da Mercedes-Benz foi um veículo elétrico (44%). No âmbito da sua transformação para a produção exclusiva de veículos elétricos até ao final da década, se as condições de mercado assim o permitirem, a Mercedes-Benz anunciou plano para a sua própria rede de postos de carregamento de alta potência de mais de 10.000 unidades em todo o mundo, assegurando o carregamento fácil e rápido.

Forte crescimento nos topo de gama

As vendas no segmento topo de gama cresceram significativamente no quarto trimestre em 14% para as 83.800 unidades, resultando no melhor trimestre para este segmento em 2022. Os principais impulsionadores no quarto trimestre foram as vendas da AMG (+28%), Mercedes-Maybach (+25%) e do Classe G (+15%). A Mercedes-Maybach atingiu o melhor ano com a venda de 21.600 unidades (+37%). Este crescimento foi suportado principalmente pelos fortes desempenhos no Japão, Coreia do Sul, Médio Oriente e especialmente na China, onde a Mercedes-Maybach forneceu mais de 1.100 unidades por mês. 

As vendas do Classe S aumentaram para mais de 90.000 unidades, um aumento de 5% face ao ano anterior. Além disso, o EQS conseguiu atrair novos clientes para o segmento topo de gama. Em 2022, foram vendidos 19.200 veículos, com uma forte procura de clientes dos EUA, fazendo do quarto trimestre o melhor trimestre deste porta-estandarte elétrico. O EQS SUV já recebeu uma avaliação positiva nos EUA e será introduzido na China no início de 2023. As vendas anuais de veículos topo de gama foram restringidas devido à escassez de semicondutores. Em 2023, a marca Mercedes-Maybach irá tornar-se elétrica com o lançamento do Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV na primeira metade do ano.

Luxo essencial

As vendas no segmento de Luxo Essencial atingiram as 1.101,800 unidades (+4%). Mais uma vez, o GLC foi o modelo Mercedes-Benz mais vendido com 342.900 unidades (+3%) em 2022. Com o seu modelo sucessor, lançado em meados de 2022, a Mercedes-Benz prevê continuar a sua história de sucesso. 

O Classe C viu as vendas subirem 17% para 299.100 unidades. O modelo totalmente elétrico EQE está agora disponível em todas as regiões e atingiu vendas de 12.600 unidades em 2022. O recém-lançado EQE SUV pode agora ser encomendado em toda a Europa. A China e os EUA são os mercados que se seguem na primeira metade de 2023. O segmento de Luxo Essencial será adicionalmente reforçado pelo novíssimo Classe E que irá celebrar a sua estreia mundial em 2023.

As vendas no segmento de Luxo de Entrada na Marca atingiram as 587.700 unidades (-10%), tendo sido prejudicadas principalmente por estrangulamentos logísticos. O EQA é o modelo totalmente elétrico mais vendido com 33.100 unidades (+43%), seguido pelo EQB com 24.200 unidades (+>1,000%). Os modelos Classe A e Classe B foram alvo de uma atualização no último trimestre de 2022 e estão agora disponíveis. A quota de veículos elétricos duplicou para 10% das vendas neste segmento.

Depuis que BMW et Porsche ont prouvé, avec le X5 et le Cayenne, que les gens aiment s'asseoir en hauteur dans des voitures qui ressemblent à des tout-terrains mais qui se conduisent et se sentent comme des voitures de luxe, l'essor des SUV ne s'est jamais arrêté.

Alors que nous nous dirigeons vers les voitures électriques, l'un des avantages des SUV est que leur hauteur de caisse et leur carrosserie sont idéales pour dissimuler une batterie encombrante sans trop compromettre l'espace intérieur.

Avant d'aller plus loin, fixons d'abord quelques règles de base. Qu'est-ce qu'un SUV et en quoi diffèrent-ils des crossovers ? Par souci de commodité, nous éviterons donc ici les hatchbacks, les crossovers et les SUV du segment C tels que le Kia Niro EV et la Smart #1. Nous les traiterons séparément dans notre liste des meilleures voitures électriques de taille moyenne.

Il reste donc beaucoup de voitures, et une Skoda Enyaq à 38 970 € n'est pas exactement comparable à un SUV Mercedes-Benz EQS à 153 795 €. Nous les avons donc classées en fonction de leurs qualités spécifiques, telles que la plus amusante, la meilleure autonomie, la plus confortable, etc. Voici donc, sans ordre particulier, nos SUV électriques préférés.

Les meilleurs SUV électriques

Kia EV9 - Meilleur pour l'espace intérieur et la praticité

Si vous cherchez un SUV électrique plutôt qu'une berline ou une voiture à hayon moins chère, plus efficace et plus maniable, c'est probablement parce que vous recherchez beaucoup d'espace. Peu de véhicules y parviennent mieux que l'immense Kia EV9.

 Le SUV Mercedes-Benz EQS le bat en termes de volume intérieur absolu, mais la Benz est encore plus chère et l'espace qu'elle offre n'est pas aussi polyvalent. Lire aussi «Découvrez notre top 5 sur les meilleurs SUV électriques»

L'EV9 exploite mieux sa généreuse surface carrée grâce à une plus grande surface vitrée, des sièges qui se renversent et se replient plus facilement, et un compartiment à bagages à l'avant pour ranger les câbles. L'EV9 n'est pas non plus un simple vide sur roues.

Comme les Kia EV6 et Niro EV, l'EV9 est un véhicule électrique très bien équilibré à conduire. Les versions à deux moteurs offrent de bonnes performances, bien que le modèle à un moteur à venir soit probablement le meilleur de la gamme, tandis que les palettes au volant facilitent le contrôle du freinage régénératif.

L'EV9 est très élégant pour un SUV à sept places et offre un luxe, une efficacité et une autonomie honorables. Si vous cherchez quelque chose de légèrement plus abordable que le EV9 à 65 025 £, ou si vous n'avez pas besoin de sept places, nous vous orienterons vers le Skoda Enyaq ou le Tesla Model Y.

Fisker Ocean - Meilleure autonomie

La forme du SUV est loin d'être idéale pour l'aérodynamisme, mais certains constructeurs compensent le manque relatif d'efficacité en installant une énorme batterie. Si vous voulez le SUV électrique avec la plus grande autonomie, vous voudrez le Fisker Ocean, qui a une autonomie de 440 miles en version Extreme.

Le modèle Ultra, moins cher, promet une autonomie encore impressionnante de 429 miles. Nous n'avons pas pu effectuer d'essais approfondis de l'Ocean, mais ces deux versions sont équipées d'une pompe à chaleur standard et devraient donc conserver leur autonomie, même en hiver. Leur charge de 200 kW permet de recharger la batterie de 106 kWh en un temps raisonnable.

Haut de page

Pour le reste, l'Ocean est une voiture globalement agréable, pratique et sans chichis, facile à conduire et confortable parce qu'elle ne se préoccupe pas de l'attrait du conducteur.

Avec un prix de 50 900 £ pour l'Ultra et de 57 900 £ pour l'Extreme, l'Ocean semble être une bonne affaire comparée aux autres héroïnes à fort kilométrage. Une version encore moins chère est disponible à partir de £36,900 et peut encore revendiquer une autonomie WLTP de 288 miles.

Pour approcher l'autonomie de la Fisker, il faut dépenser beaucoup d'argent pour acheter une Polestar 3 (379 miles) ou une BMW iX xDrive50 (382 miles), mais ce sont deux SUV de luxe très arrondis avec une très grande autonomie. Lire notre essai Fisker Ocean - Tesla Model Y - Meilleure pour l'efficacité énergétique

Maximiser l'autonomie en utilisant une grosse batterie, c'est bien, mais une batterie de grande capacité prend plus de temps à charger, et l'électricité n'est pas gratuite, surtout si vous utilisez des chargeurs rapides.

Il est préférable de trouver une voiture qui tire le meilleur parti d'une batterie plus petite en maximisant l'efficacité énergétique. Celle-ci est généralement exprimée en miles par kWh (mpkWh), par analogie avec les miles par gallon. En dehors du Royaume-Uni et des États-Unis, il est plus courant d'utiliser l'expression « kWh par 100 km ».

À l'heure actuelle, le champion incontesté de l'efficacité énergétique est Tesla. La version à moteur unique de la Model Y affiche une consommation de 4,0mpkWh et devrait s'en approcher dans le monde réel.

La version Long Range à deux moteurs est légèrement moins performante, avec 3,7mpkWh, mais reste très impressionnante. Bien entendu, la berline Tesla Model 3, plus basse et plus aérodynamique, fait encore mieux.

Le style intérieur et extérieur extrêmement minimaliste de Tesla ne convient pas à tout le monde, pas plus que l'expérience de conduite plutôt prescriptive, mais les qualités fondamentales de la Model Y sont indiscutables : elle est extrêmement spacieuse pour sa taille, d'un bon rapport qualité-prix, rapide et peut être agréable à conduire.

La Model 3, qui lui est étroitement liée, a récemment été mise à jour afin d'accroître encore son efficacité et d'améliorer le confort et l'ambiance intérieure, et ces améliorations finiront par s'appliquer également à la Model Y.

Si une Tesla ne vous convient pas, la Hyundai Ioniq 5 et la Genesis GV60 à moteur unique (elles ont des groupes motopropulseurs identiques) sont également très efficaces, tout comme la Skoda Enyaq et la Volkswagen ID 4 (elles aussi avec des groupes motopropulseurs communs), qui ont récemment bénéficié d'une amélioration significative de leur efficacité.

Si la Tesla ne vous convient pas, la Hyundai Ioniq 5 et la Genesis GV60 à moteur unique (elles ont des groupes motopropulseurs identiques) sont également très efficaces, tout comme la Skoda Enyaq et la Volkswagen ID 4 (là encore, des groupes motopropulseurs partagés), qui ont récemment bénéficié d'une amélioration significative de leur efficacité.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 N - Le meilleur pour le plaisir de conduire

Des SUV agréables à conduire ? Les VE sont-ils agréables à conduire ? Il faut le croire. Hyundai a attiré l'attention des amateurs de voitures lorsque ses premières berlines à essence, les Hyundai i20 N et Hyundai i30 N, se sont révélées excellentes dès leur sortie.

Hyundai semble bien décidée à perpétuer cette réputation de voiture de conducteur à l'ère de l'électricité avec la version hot de la Hyundai Ioniq 5.

La Ioniq 5 N ne se contente pas d'une suspension rigide et d'une puissance démesurée. Vous obtenez ces derniers, mais grâce à une coque renforcée, un véritable différentiel à glissement limité sur l'essieu arrière, des amortisseurs adaptatifs et le sens de l'humour des ingénieurs de Hyundai, elle est vraiment divertissante.

Il adore faire tourner la puissance, et si vous le souhaitez, il peut imiter une boîte de vitesses à six rapports et un moteur à essence.

Matt Prior, d'Autocar, a d��claré dans son compte rendu : « Je pense qu'il s'agit d'un modèle historique : « Je pense qu'il s'agit d'une voiture qui fera date. La première véritable voiture de conducteur de VE. Une voiture que l'on pourrait amener au Britain's Best Driver's Car i 2025 en étant sûr qu'elle sera performante.

Non pas parce qu'elle fait du bruit, mais parce que les réglages sont excellents et que l'ingénierie semble réelle.

Si la Ioniq 5 N est un peu trop hardcore pour vous, il existe d'autres options. La BMW iX3 semble un peu boiteuse sur le papier parce qu'elle n'a qu'un seul moteur, mais cela lui permet de se comporter comme une vraie BMW. Bien qu'il soit imparfait en tant que VE moderne, le Jaguar i-Pace reste également très amusant à conduire.

Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV - Le meilleur pour la conduite assistée

Mais que se passe-t-il si vous préférez que la voiture prenne en charge une partie de la conduite à votre place ?

Les voitures modernes, en particulier les modèles de luxe, sont bourrées de technologies de conduite assistée. Certaines d'entre elles sont manifestement inutiles et vous rendront fou si vous ne les désactivez pas, mais d'autres peuvent soulager le stress des trajets longs et ennuyeux.

BMW iX - Meilleure pour le confort de conduite et l'attrait du luxe

BMW continue d'utiliser le slogan « La machine à conduire ultime », mais comme les routes sont de plus en plus encombrées et que la vitesse est de plus en plus limitée, il semble que la définition de l'ultime soit en train de changer.

 Avec ses VE, BMW s'est transformé en un spécialiste du confort. La BMW i7 a remporté notre test de la voiture de luxe ultime et le même talent est évident dans la BMW iX, plus grande.

L'iX offre un raffinement et une conduite de classe mondiale, des performances instantanées et sans effort, ainsi qu'une autonomie honorable dans le monde réel. Par ailleurs, l'intérieur ressemble beaucoup plus à une grande BMW i3 ultra-luxueuse qu'aux berlines sportives que l'on associe volontiers à BMW.

C'est un environnement beaucoup plus lounge, avec des espaces ouverts, des formes douces et, dans certaines spécifications, une sélection de matériaux inhabituels mais plutôt séduisants. Assurez-vous d'opter pour la xDrive50, car la xDrive40 ne bénéficie pas de la suspension pneumatique et de l'autonomie de la voiture la plus chère, ce qui fait toute la différence.

En comparaison, les Mercedes EQS SUV et EQE SUV semblent plus ouvertement high-tech, mais ne sont pas tout à fait au même niveau de qualité de construction et d'éclat des matériaux.

Pour une voiture similaire à la BMW iX mais moins chère, la Genesis GV60 et la GV70 électrifiée ont un intérieur luxueux à l'ancienne, et la Lexus RZ est également très agréable à vivre (même si ses performances en matière de véhicules électriques sont plutôt décevantes).

Skoda Enyaq - Le meilleur pour ses capacités polyvalentes

Que faire si vous voulez un SUV électrique qui allie accessibilité, praticité, autonomie, facilité d'utilisation et de conduite ? Le Skoda Enyaq n'est pas une superstar dans un domaine particulier comme certaines des autres voitures présentées ici, mais c'est un fantastique véhicule polyvalent.

Lorsqu'il a été lancé en 2021, il a fait un meilleur usage de la plateforme MEB de Volkswagen que le VW ID 4 ou l'Audi Q4 E-tron qui l'ont précédé, et il a récemment bénéficié d'une série d'améliorations subtiles qui ont corrigé les quelques faiblesses qu'il avait.

L'Enyaq 60 est disponible à partir de £38,970, mais nous opterions pour l'Edition 85, qui dispose d'une plus grande batterie offrant une autonomie de 348 miles, et qui dispose de presque tous les équipements nécessaires de série. Le système multimédia, qui a été rafraîchi, a éliminé ses bogues et est maintenant très facile à utiliser.

Le capot court et l'arrière carré de l'Enyaq lui confèrent beaucoup d'espace intérieur. Le régulateur de vitesse adaptatif de série et les palettes pour le freinage régénératif rendent la conduite intuitive, tout comme le châssis, qui est équilibré et mature, même s'il n'est pas particulièrement divertissant.

La Tesla Model Y reste également excellente, et même si tous les Superchargeurs ne sont pas exclusifs à Tesla, certains le sont encore, et la technologie de planification d'itinéraire de Tesla contribue grandement à réduire le stress des longs trajets.

 Nous n'avons pas encore effectué d'essai approfondi de la Fisker Ocean, mais les premières impressions sont extrêmement prometteuses. Son rapport qualité-prix semble également remarquable.

BMW i7 xDrive60: Electric meets performance

The BMW i7 xDrive60 is large and imposing—and quiet. BMW Letter dimension It took some time for electrification to achieve European flagships, however now it is taking place in earnest. If you'd like a plug-in model of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, that is no drawback – you may get the EQS as a sedan or an SUV. Audi's efficiency pinnacle, the V-10 R8, exits the lineup at yr's finish, giving method to the RS e-tron GT. And the BMW 7-series sedan? Effectively, now it is out there because the BMW i7 xDrive60 with battery energy. And full opulence is maintained. Prime-of-the-line electrical vehicles, particularly European ones, are typically costly. That is prone to change at the very least barely over time, however the 2023 i7 xDrive60 as-tested was US$151,995. It contains many extras, as the bottom worth of the mannequin is US$119,300 Constructing EVs on devoted platforms has benefits, as they're initially optimized for batteries. That is not BMW's strategy, although, because the i7 variants sit on the identical platform because the gasoline engine 7-Collection. Meaning it is large (17.6 ft lengthy and 6,067 kilos), imposing (sitting on 21-inch wheels) and provides few clues as to what it plugs into. The automotive has the big kidney grille that BMW adopted for the 4-series, however should you look intently you will see it is a false entrance for many of the look. However the grill is "lively," that means it has shutters that open to confess cool air when wanted. By some means the styling works in an enormous method, however the higher and decrease LED headlights on all sides require some psychological assimilation.

Rear seat passengers get royal remedy and a drop-down display. BMW Contemplating the burden, it is not shocking that this i7 has a 101.7 kWh (usable) battery, which gives twin motors with 225 horsepower on the entrance and 308 horsepower on the rear axle. As large as it's, it might attain 60 mph in simply 4.1 seconds, although it feels extra succesful than neck-breakingly quick. It does its job with Rolls-Royce ranges of silence. Additionally protecting occupants remoted from street turbulence are adaptive shock absorbers and air suspension.

Stephen Edelstein/Top Reviewing with regards to electrifying overall performance vehicles, Mercedes-Benz feels there’s no silver round. The automaker’s Mercedes-AMG overall performance unit has recently designed EVs like AMG EQE SUV additionally the S63 AMG E Efficiency sedan, a plug-in hybrid that sets electric help with among brand’s standard V8 machines. AMG’s newest electrified design — a hot-rodded form of the GLC-Class lightweight crossover SUV and a rival to show SUVs like BMW X3 M and Porsche Macan — sits someplace in between those extremes. Arriving in showrooms when you look at the last half of 2024 as a 2025 design, the Mercedes-AMG GLC63 S E Efficiency, whilst’s officially understood, is a plug-in hybrid like newest S63 — but one which utilizes electrical power to pay for a radically downsized motor. In place of a large V8 like S63 and last-generation GLC63, it utilizes an even more affordable turbocharged four-cylinder motor. In place of managing electrification like essential medication, this AMG plug-in hybrid embraces its opportunities. Design and interior The GLC63 is applicable slight styling modifications to a currently slight redesign associated with the base GLC, which premiered for 2023 design 12 months searching just about like its forerunner. To that particular nondescript base, AMG adds a grille having its trademark straight slats, bigger front side atmosphere intakes, a rear diffuser, prominent tailpipes, many outside badging. Just real vehicle lovers will more than likely observe these variations, which provides the GLC63 some included cool element. Stephen Edelstein/Top Reviewing Like other GLC variants, the GLC63 is available in standard SUV and coupe body styles. The term “coupe” traditionally refers to a two-door car, but Mercedes and fellow German automakers BMW, Audi, and Porsche have stretched that term to include four-door cars with low, sloped rooflines. These vehicles are still true coupes in the sense that they offer less rear headroom and cargo space than old-fashioned SUVs. The GLC63 is applicable slight styling modifications to a currently slight redesign associated with the base GLC. In standard SUV kind, the GLC63 provides similar cargo area to similarly-sized deluxe SUVs like BMW X3 and Porsche Macan. That’s among advantages of an AMG Mercedes: under the overall performance improvements, it is nevertheless a typical vehicle. The inside employs a familiar but gratifying meal. Mercedes’ present home design motif seems razor-sharp. The angled dashboard, freestanding displays, and large round vents give the cabin an exceptional appearance and convey this is not a regular Honda or Toyota. AMG designs obtain the anticipated performance-car callouts, including a mixture of microfiber and Nappa fabric furniture and recommended recreation seating with additional bolstering. Tech, infotainment, and driver assist The infotainment system holds over from non-AMG GLC designs, indicating it provides a 12.3-inch electronic tool group and an 11.9-inch touchscreen. Both tend to be freestanding, aided by the touchscreen angled somewhat toward the motorist to produce an even more cockpit-like experience, based on Mercedes. Cordless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard as well. Stephen Edelstein/Top Reviewing The screen setup and underlying Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) operating system are similar to other recent Mercedes models, such as the S-Class and C-Class sedans. As in those vehicles, it’s hard to find fault with the interface, which uses what Mercedes calls a “Zero Layer” arrangement that eschews menu pages for small widgets displayed side by side, or the graphics. Instead of traditional dials, for example, the instrument cluster uses a cool wave pattern for the tachometer. Mercedes’ voice control is also excellent, so much so that we ended up using it by default instead of fiddling with the touchscreen. It’s hard to find fault with the infotainment interface. The GLC63 also adds a

built-in data logger, dubbed AMG Track Pace, that can record lap times and data traces for things like steering angle and brake pedal use at racetracks. That kind of data can be useful for improving driving technique and shaving tenths of a second off lap times, but we doubt many owners will take a luxury SUV to a racetrack and make use of this feature. Like the rest of the GLC lineup, the GLC63 includes expected driver-assist features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keep help, however won’t get a hold of any cutting-edge tech like Drive Pilot system today moving call at minimal places in the Mercedes S-Class and EQS. This vehicle only is not about this. All the technology when you look at the GLC63 adopts making the driving knowledge much more concerning, perhaps not less. Driving knowledge A complex powertrain tends to make great usage of both gas and electrical energy. It begins with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder motor that on it's own creates 469 horse power and 402 pound-feet of torque, with a tiny electric engine to help keep the turbo rotating at power-producing rates. This will make it the absolute most effective series-production four-cylinder motor on earth, based on Mercedes. Stephen Edelstein/Top Reviewing The gas motor, which will be combined to a nine-speed automated transmission, can potentially run the vehicle on it's own, but Mercedes in addition included a power engine mounted in the back axle along side its very own two-speed transmission and a limited-slip differential. A 6.1-kilowatt-hour battery power permits 107 horse power of constant production with this engine, or 201 hp simply speaking blasts. Combined production is 671 hp and 752 lb-ft of torque, or 168 hp and 236 lb-ft above the final GLC63 got from the 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8. Mercedes claims the GLC63 will achieve 60 miles per hour from a standstill in 3.4 moments. For research, the GLC63’s primary opponent, the BMW X3 M, gets 503 hp from a non-hybrid powertrain in top competitors kind. But despite an important energy benefit, the Mercedes is 0.3 moments faster versus BMW. Both have actually top-speed governors, aided by the Mercedes restricted to 171 miles per hour additionally the BMW achieving 177 miles per hour aided by the recommended M Efficiency Package. whenever unleashed, the GLC63 seems remarkable adequate to justify the AMG badge. Regardless, a sub-4.0-second operate from zero to 60 miles per hour remains impressive regarding car, aside from an extravagance SUV. Additionally impressive may be the selection of equipment Mercedes always result in the GLC63 manage less like an SUV plus like a sports vehicle. Transformative suspension system may be made luxuriously smooth or sports-car company, and a dynamic roll stabilization system keeps the human body from tilting over in sides. Rear-axle steering and beefed-up brake system (with 15.4-inch front side and 14.6-inch back rotors) come also. Between the mixture of gas and electrical power, drive settings, and specific configurations for such things as suspension system, steering body weight, and regenerative braking, this really is a vehicle of several characters. it is feasible to dial every thing down and produce an appropriate cruiser hardly perceptible as a performance vehicle, or drive-in electric mode with all the framework configurations in hardcore mode for a sporty EV-like knowledge. If you decide on the many hostile configurations, you obtain an eager, snorting pet that is like it is tugging at its leash whenever you’re obligated to trundle through a tiny city at reasonable rates. whenever unleashed on a twisty roadway, the GLC63 seems remarkable adequate to justify the AMG badge. However it’s nearly because razor-sharp as old-fashioned overall performance SUVs like BMW X3 M and Porsche Macan, which saps self-confidence. Others German overall performance SUVs feels smaller and less heavy than they really tend to be, yet not this Mercedes. And even though the

plug-in hybrid powertrain is a remarkable technical accomplishment, it is not really charming. Full-throttle speed does not feel because intense once the figures advise, and rather than the classic noises of an inside burning motor or perhaps the stark silence of an EV, the GLC63’s sound recording is an odd mixture of muted fatigue noises and whines and whistles from the a number of other technical elements. Gas mileage, electric range, and security Fuel economic climate and electric range quotes weren’t offered at the full time of book, nonetheless it’s safe to state the GLC63 is much more about overall performance than effectiveness. And as it’s really the only plug-in vehicle with its competitive ready, additionally the design it replaces had a twin-turbo V8 ranked at only 17 mpg combined, the club is quite reasonable. Safety rankings may to-be determined, once the Insurance Institute for Highway protection (IIHS) and nationwide Highway visitors protection management (NHTSA) hadn’t introduced any for newest GLC designs during book. Whenever those security rankings do come, it is uncertain if rankings for smaller GLC designs will carry-over into the GLC63. How DT would configure this vehicle Mercedes does not provide many choices beyond paint colors, rims, and carbon fibre trim, but that is perhaps not really the only concern to inquire of when contemplating an AMG GLC63. This will be Mercedes we’re speaking about, and this plug-in crossbreed overall performance SUV will share a crowded showroom along with other designs revealing some significant components. The exact same plug-in hybrid powertrain is employed when you look at the AMG C63 S E Efficiency sedan. Meaning you continue to get 671 hp, in a lighter sedan human anatomy with a reduced center of gravity. That sacrifices some cargo area, and rear-seat guests will undoubtedly be only a little less comfortable, nonetheless it’s the most obvious option with regards to operating characteristics. Stephen Edelstein/Top Reviewing By the full time the GLC63 achieves showrooms, Mercedes will have an AMG GLC43 design readily available. This really ditches the electric area of the GLC63 powertrain, maintaining the gas motor as a standalone energy supply. The GLC43 nevertheless boasts 416 hp and can do zero to 60 miles per hour in 4.7 moments, based on Mercedes. it is perhaps not area of the electrified zeitgeist, nonetheless it could be much easier to stay with versus dauntingly complex GLC63. The GLC63 presents a middle surface between AMG’s standard overall performance vehicles and EVs. Although it’s alot more entertaining than AMG’s just present all-electric SUV — the AMG EQE SUV — it is nevertheless perhaps not an upgraded to get the best internal-combustion overall performance SUVs. It monitors containers with a strong gas motor and plug-in crossbreed system, in an easy method that produces the GLC63 feel just like a placeholder until even more appealing all-electric overall performance vehicles arrive.
