C63 AMG Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost
Starting MSRP
$88,000
The 2026 Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE sedan starts at $88,000, according to Mercedes-Benz USA. That MSRP leaves out destination.
The current C63 is a different car from the V8 sedans that carried the name for years. Mercedes now sells it as the AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE, a plug-in hybrid sedan, and it sits at the top of the C-Class range above the AMG C 43. One trim, one body style, so the price question is mostly about options.
Because there is a single version, there is no ladder of trims to climb. The numbers that matter are the starting MSRP, the destination charge, and the packages you add.

C63 AMG price for 2026
Mercedes-Benz USA lists the 2026 C 63 S E PERFORMANCE at $88,000 MSRP. Car and Driver lists the same car at $89,350. The two numbers differ because they are measured differently. The manufacturer's MSRP excludes destination, while the Car and Driver figure appears to include it. Do not subtract one from the other to find a fee, because the page does not state the destination amount.
For context, the AMG C 43, the next step down in the AMG C-Class, starts at $64,150.
Option packages and what they add
AMG buyers tend to spend on packages, and Mercedes publishes their prices on the model page. These are the ones listed for the C63:
Fees and options
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Pinnacle Trim package | $2,150 |
| AMG Performance Design Package | $4,000 |
| AMG Performance Seat Package | $2,500 |
| AMG Performance Seat Package Advanced | $3,250 |
| Driver Assistance Package | $1,950 |
The AMG Performance Design Package is the most expensive item listed, and the Pinnacle Trim and Driver Assistance Package come next. The two seat packages upgrade the front seats, with the Advanced version costing more than the standard one. Adding several of these raises the price well above the starting MSRP, so build the car you actually want before comparing quotes.
C63 AMG price history
Car and Driver listed the 2025 C63 at $87,200 – $89,250. It covers one model year, so treat it as a rough marker of where pricing sat. The 2026 starting MSRP is $88,000.
How the C63 compares inside the C-Class
If your goal is a sporty C-Class on a smaller budget, the AMG C 43 starts at $64,150. The C63 costs more because of its plug-in hybrid powertrain and the equipment that comes with it. Test drive both before deciding, since the difference in driving feel is something a price table cannot show.
Questions to ask about the car
Ask which of these packages are already installed on a car in stock, because a car on the lot may carry several of them. Ask whether the quoted price is MSRP or a total, and request the destination charge as its own line. If you are trading in a car, get the trade-in value quoted separately from the new car price so you can see each number clearly.
What affects the final price
- Option packages, as listed above
- Paint, wheels, and interior choices that are not part of a package
- Destination, which is charged on top of MSRP
- Dealer pricing, taxes, registration, and documentation fees
- Whether you buy, lease, or finance, and the interest rate on a loan
Buying and financing tips
Compare quotes from more than one Mercedes-Benz dealer and ask for the out-the-door price. Request an itemized list of fitted options so you can see what you are paying for. If you plan to finance, get a rate offer from your bank or credit union before visiting the dealer. A financial advisor or lender can help you decide between financing and leasing for your situation.
