The Mercedes-AMG GLC63S E-Performance is a different take on the somewhat contentious C63S sedan. It is quite possible that the SUV is the better option of the two siblings. Mercedes-AMG has copped plenty of flack for the downsized and electrified powertrain fitted to the C63S sedan. The rumbly angry V8 was replaced in favour […]
