2017 Mercedes-AMG E63 Exterior

The 2017 Mercedes-AMG E63 is going to take the exterior styling direction of the current E Class model that Mercedes-Benz is outputting. As it was seen at the Detroit Auto Show and as it is the case with many current E-Class models the AMG E63 is going to have a shape like a larger C-Class with just minor differences. So we can actually say that the E63 is going to be very similar to the C63. What the difference between these two cars is a longer wheelbase, different headlamps, a new kind of rear bumper, slightly modified roofline, the taillights are also going to be changed and thicker C-pillars. But the greatest and most important innovation here is heavily revised upper character lines which this model gets.

But there are some parts which will help the 2017 AMG E 63 stand out among its E-Class peers. The difference is going to be in the reshaped front and rear bumper parts, with new side skirts as well and a similar grill but with a different pattern. There is going to be a  motorsport-inspired rear diffuser in the back of the car as the rear end also gets three fins, chrome-plated, quad-exhaust tips with an integrated  trunk-lid spoiler. The front fenders are also new and are wider which also prompts a wider front track and some lightweight sporty wheels.

Interior Specs

The interior of the 2017 Mercedes-AMG E63 is not going to bring many surprises as it is going to continue the same kind of design which the previous AMG models have had. The fact is that the new model is going to borrow a lot of new elements from the C63 model but they will be built on the basis taken from the S63. This is seen in the fact that the E-Class models and S-Class models have a dashboard which has a similar design as they both have a smooth look and the same positioning of the A/C vents.

The majority of the cockpit is going to be the same as the E-Class but it will be enhanced by adding sportier elements. These sporty features include a bespoke instrument cluster with a 200-mph speedometer, a flat-bottom steering wheel, a carbon-fiber and aluminum trim and of course bolstered seats wrapped in leather. And of course, what AMG brand could go without a AMG Dynamic Select switch and AMG-exclusive analogue clock. There is going to be an expanded range of options which is going to range from new seats and stitching as well.

The exterior design of the 2017 Mercedes-AMG C 43 4Matic Cabriolet matches many of the exterior design parts with the C43 Coupe version. The front fascia is going to be completely carried over and will add distinctive corner vents and a mesh-filled air dam. The side of the car has the light-alloy wheels and a finish which is accented by a chrome trim that goes around the waistline of the car. The front fenders have some “BITURBO-4MATIC” badges added to indicate the model.

The back end of the car has more changes which are incorporated in order to match the model’s drop top. This makes the deck lid significantly shorter than the one used before which manages to accommodate the door and storage space for the car. The cargo bay will be cut down unfortunately, but that was expected to happen when cutting down to a cabrio. Outside of the declid area, the rear end is mostly the same and does not suffer any other changes. the rear fascia has the same corner vents and the  grey-colored rear diffuser which accents the chrome exhausts.

Generally speaking, the designers wanted to keep the convertible as sporty as its coupe version, and they did a stellar job with it. They have also added an optional “Night” package option, which brings all sorts of added features.
