Fuel economy data from fueleconomy.gov (EPA / U.S. Dept. of Energy). Annual cost based on 15,000 mi/yr at 55% city driving and current fuel prices. MPG is U.S. gallons; L/100km converted. Ranges reflect the 2 tested variants for this model year.
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 has 9 recalls, the most serious being a fuel leak near hot engine or exhaust components that can lead to an engine fire.
Seat safety accounts for two recalls: the front seats on certain vehicles may have been assembled incorrectly and fail to hold an occupant in a crash, and the front seatbelts may not fully retract, which can discourage regular use. The electronic stability control system carries a recall for a software version that causes the system to react incorrectly during certain driving situations, raising the risk of a crash. On the structural side, vehicles that had a prior roof panel repair may have a front panel that was not properly bonded and can detach while driving, becoming a hazard to other traffic. Two recalls cover the automatic emergency call system: one where the system may not connect to emergency services at all, and one where it can send responders to the wrong location. The rearview camera can fail to display an image due to a software error, limiting rear visibility when reversing. Headlights on certain vehicles may have been adjusted incorrectly during a prior service visit, reducing nighttime visibility.
