Mercedes-AMG C63 (W205, 2015 - 2023) – MPG and running costs
Hard to complain about the W205's economy given the vast leap in (official) figures against the previous car
By turning to turbocharging the W205 C63 is significantly less profligate than the W204 that came before it. Where the naturally-aspirated car guzzled fossil fuels at the rate of one gallon every 23.5 miles, the latest car will take you a whole 11 miles further according to Mercedes.
Its carbon dioxide emissions have dropped accordingly – 192g/km won’t placate the greens but it’s still a significant improvement on the 280g/km exhaled by the previous car. The estate records figures of 33.6mpg and 196g/km, while both bodystyles sit in the group J VED band.
And as an AMG model sending considerable power through the rear wheels, remember to budget for tyres…
