From a design perspective, the GT 63 S E Performance isn't all that different from its sibling the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4MATIC+. The four-door coupé's athletic characteristics are highlighted by the expressive design, which includes a low front section, muscular body, squat greenhouse, and dynamic fastback.

The rear apron with integrated plug-in charging flap and the model identifier highlighted in red are unique identifying characteristics. AMG is also integrating outwardly fluted trapezoidal dual exhaust tailpipes with the hybrid. The hybrid drive is indicated by the "E PERFORMANCE" logo on the wings. There is also a new set of 20 and 21-inch light-alloy wheels, each in two colour variants.

The AMG GT 63 S E Performance comes equipped with AMG RIDE CONTROL+ suspension with a new dampening system. The modified AMG ceramic high-performance composite braking system and the MBUX multimedia system with unique hybrid displays are also standard.

The MBUX multimedia system with AMG hybrid-specific displays and functions is standard in the Widescreen Cockpit. The driver will see the electric range, power consumption, output and torque of the electric motor, and battery and electric motor temperatures in the instrument cluster. Exclusive interior leather colours emphasise AMG GT 63 S E Performance sporty or luxury aspect.

The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance directly rivals the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid super-sedan.
