What is the difference between Mercedes-Benz with AMG and without AMG?
2 Answers
AMG Mercedes-Benz and ordinary Mercedes-Benz differ mainly in brand positioning. AMG (Aufrecht-Melcher-Grossaspach) is positioned as a high-performance modification brand, and the biggest difference from ordinary Mercedes-Benz is that it has stronger power performance. AMG Mercedes-Benz is mainly applied to high-performance coupes, while ordinary Mercedes-Benz leans towards daily family and business sedans. Mercedes-AMG: Mercedes-AMG is a high-performance sub-brand of Mercedes-Benz. In the development of high-performance cars, the classic works launched by AMG in the 1990s included the C-36 AMG, E-50 AMG, C-43 AMG, and various versions of the "55" series after 1997. Mercedes-Benz: Mercedes-Benz is a world-class luxury car brand, considered one of the most premium car brands in the world. Its perfect technical level, rigorous quality standards, innovative capabilities, and a series of classic coupe models are highly praised.
I test drove both the standard Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the C63 AMG version. The difference with the AMG is most evident in its power—the engine is far more aggressive, delivering an intense push-back sensation during acceleration, going from 0 to 100 km/h in just about 4 seconds, whereas the standard version takes over 7 seconds. It feels like a completely different car. The suspension is also firmer, providing excellent stability when cornering, and the specialized braking system boosts confidence during high-speed driving. However, fuel consumption skyrockets, averaging around 17 liters per 100 km in the city, compared to just 9 liters for the standard version. The sound inside the cabin is different too—the AMG's exhaust is deeper, with a distinctive backfire sound, making it perfect for those who crave thrilling drives. That said, it’s less comfortable and quiet for daily commutes compared to the standard version. If you’re passionate about performance, the AMG is a worthwhile investment.
