We’ve uncovered local pricing for the refreshed 620 kW Mercedes-AMG GT63 SE Performance 4‑Door Coupé, which arrives as the most expensive model in the brand’s high-performance range…

Mercedes-Benz South Africa has quietly added the wordily named Mercedes-AMG GT63 SE Performance 4Matic+ 4‑Door Coupé to its local configurator. So, how much will the refreshed version of this 620 kW all-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid monster cost you?

Well, it arrives as the most expensive model in the Affalterbach-based division’s local line-up, bearing a starting price of R4036144 (excluding the cost of a maintenance plan, according to the Mercedes-Benz SA configurator, which pushes the price to R4 219 301). That sees it slot in above the likes of the Mercedes-AMG GLE63 S 4Matic+ (R3 827 538) and the Mercedes-AMG G63 (R3 962717).

Revealed as recently as October 2023, the updated GT63 SE Performance 4‑Door Coupé sticks with its mighty PHEV powertrain, which here comprises a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine and various hybrid components (as well as the AMG Speedshift MCT 9G transmission). As before, peak system outputs stand at a lofty 620 kW and 1470 Nm, which facilitate a 0-100 kph sprint in a claimed 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 316 kph.

Revisions to this model – which again ships with air suspension featuring adaptive adjustment damping but also gains a bit of extra standard kit – include a wider air inlet below the AMG-specific grille and vertical air ducts integrated into the outside of the front apron. Inside, the apex version of the GT 4-Door Coupé scores an updated version of the MBUX multimedia system, including AMG-specific items.

In South Africa, the GT63 SE Performance can be specified with all manner of add-ons, from the AMG Night Package (R17300) and AMG Exterior Chrome Package (R19100) to the AMG Aerodynamics Package (R51800), AMG Exterior Carbon Package (R67300) and AMG Exterior Carbon-Fibre Package II (R81800).

In addition, Mercedes-Benz SA offers a range of alloy wheels (over and above the standard 20-inch AMG 5-twin-spoke light-alloy items), along with a panoramic sunroof (R22500, though a sliding sunroof is now standard), AMG sports stripes (R11000), AMG Performance seats (R35000), a head-up display (R18100), Driving Assistance Plus Package (R44000) and power-closing doors (R10000).
