Mercedes-AMG is planning to introduce the C 53 4MATIC+ in the updated W206 C-Class, replacing all previous AMG variants including the C 63 S E Performance.
The electrified four-cylinder engine of the C 63 S E Performance will be discontinued and replaced by the new C 53 4MATIC+ with a 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder petrol engine.
The C 43 4MATIC and its four-cylinder engine will be discontinued, along with the same change being made to the GLC model.
The C 53 4MATIC+ is expected to utilize an electrified version of the M256 inline six-cylinder engine, providing a more powerful and appealing engine sound.
