Standard equipment & optional extras

The AMG Exterior Carbon-Fibre package with AMG carbon-fibre exterior mirror casing and AMG spoiler lip on the boot lid makes a lasting impression while underscoring the sporty ambitions of the C 63 AMG.

The AMG Driver’s Package enables you to experience speed.
Participation in an AMG Driving Academy and an increase of the limiting speed to 280 km/h create motor sport feeling in its purest form.

The new consumption and efficiency-optimised 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission features a compellingly lowered fuel consumption, extremely gentle gearshifts and a reduced noise level.

In the new C 63 AMG the optimised AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission ensures more power transmission to the rear wheels. The high-tech transmission provides a combination of unique functions which allows the driver to enjoy a great deal of freedom.

Overview of the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission highlights:

The sports suspension features firmer suspension and damping. The wide-base tyres allow an even sportier style of driving without major sacrifices in comfort. The sports suspension also increases the vehicle’s dynamic appearance and is factory-fitted to match perfectly with the model series.

The ATTENTION ASSIST function is particularly helpful on long journeys and when driving at night; the system warns the driver if it detects signs of failing attention and increasing weariness.

Between 80 and 180 km/h, ATTENTION ASSIST warns the driver visually and audibly as soon as it detects any signs of drowsiness or inattention. The background: sensors analyse driving behaviour and can detect any changes compared with the previously determined individual driver profile.

ATTENTION ASSIST comes as standard for the C 350 BlueEFFICIENCY. The system is available as an option in conjunction with the 3-spoke multifunction steering wheel with 12 buttons in nappa leather, perforated in the grip area, and the TFT display in the instrument cluster.

The Intelligent Light System emphasises the dynamic appearance of the C-Class Coupé through, amongst other attributes, its darkened headlamps and its dynamic design. But above all, it ensures better visibility and helps the driver to spot potential dangers early on. The system uses various technologies which, combined, give a high level of comfort and safety.

In the country light mode the light from the low-beam headlamps is distributed such that the edge of the carriageway is significantly better illuminated than with conventional headlamps. The motorway mode is automatically activated in two steps: from 90 km/h the system boosts the power of the bi-xenon lamps. From 110 km/h the setting of the headlamp on the inside of the traffic lane also changes to illuminate the entire width of the lane uniformly for a distance of up to around 120 metres.

The expanded fog lamp improves visibility, for example in fog, snowfall or heavy rain. The left bi-xenon headlamp tilts outwards and the light cone is simultaneously lowered downwards. This light function is automatically activated as soon as the rear fog lamp is switched on and the vehicle is not travelling faster than 70 km/h.

The active light function follows the driver's steering angle: sensor data on the steering angle, yaw rate and vehicle speed allow the bi-xenon headlamps to tilt to the side within seconds as soon as the vehicle drives into a curve. With the cornering light function the cornering lamps automatically switch on when the driver activates the indicator or turns the steering wheel.

The Adaptive Highbeam Assist switches to low beam as soon as the camera detects another vehicle with its lights on, and regulates the low-beam range accordingly.

The PARKTRONIC parking aid including Parking guidance assists the driver when looking for a parking place and makes it easier to park by giving concrete steering instructions.

Ultrasonic sensors in the side front bumper measure the length of parking spaces parallel to the car automatically if the car drives past at a speed of 35 km/h or less. Parking Guidance starts once a suitable space has been found and reverse gear has been engaged. It gives the driver visual and audible directions via the instrument cluster regarding the correct steering angle as well as the turn-in and turn-back points.

The electronic parking aid PARKTRONIC monitors the front and rear of the vehicle when manoeuvring with the help of ten sensors and warns the driver if it detects a risk of collision. If the system identifies an obstruction, it emits a visual signal. As soon as the distance is less than approximately 35 cm, a short warning sound is emitted.

If the vehicle gets even closer (less than approximately 25 cm away) a continuous signal is heard. PARKTRONIC uses this procedure to make parking easier when limited space is available. If the car is not straight after the first reversing move, the system also helps the driver with the required manoeuvring moves.

The system is only available in conjunction with the optional 3-spoke multifunction steering wheel with 12 buttons in nappa leather, perforated in the grip area.

The PRE-SAFE® occupant protection system can recognise critical driving situations and, if necessary, pre-emptively activate reversible safety systems to help reduce the risk of injury to the vehicle occupants. To do this, PRE-SAFE® permanently monitors sensor data from systems such as the ESP® and BAS, and can thus, for example, recognise vehicle over/understeering as well as emergency braking.

If the typical characteristics of a critical driving situation are identified, safety systems can respond within a fraction of a second. The electronic belt tensioners are activated, the electrically adjustable front-passenger seat (only in conjunction with Memory Package) is moved to a more "favourable" crash position, and the side windows and (optional) panoramic sliding sunroof are closed automatically.

The reversing camera adds a convenient feature and also tangibly improves safety. The camera integrated in the tailgate transmits an image of the area behind the vehicle to the COMAND screen. The camera image not only makes parking easier but also aids in manoeuvring through hard-to-see terrain. The reversing camera is only available in conjunction with the optimum COMAND Online multimedia system.

The new Becker® MAP PILOT enables the Audio 20 CD radio to be upgraded to a fully-fledged navigation unit with map navigation in 3D view.

Overview of functions and equipment:

The new COMAND Online multimedia system is the highlight of the new telematics generation. This innovative system features an Internet browser, combines all audio, telephone and navigation functions and also includes the Speed Limit Assist function.

It uses an integrated camera to identify the speed limits on road signs and show the permitted maximum speed on the central display. The system also compares identified speed limits against the data stored in the navigation system.

Component of the new COMAND Online multimedia system:

An additional aerial is used for digital radio (DAB). This provides improved reception at near CD quality, a broader selection of stations, as well as more detailed programme and traffic information.
Switching between analogue and digital reception is automatic according to network coverage and signal strength.

The Harman Kardon® Logic 7® surround sound system with an output of 450 watts turns every journey into an acoustic experience.

Twelve high-performance loudspeakers and the Logic 7® multi-channel, surround-sound technology help create a three-dimensional music experience in all seats. The automatic volume adjustment adapts to the vehicle speed. In conjunction with COMAND Online a special listening experience is available with Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS.

Communication without compromise: even while you are on the road, you will remain fully contactable in the C-Class Coupé. With the optional new convenience telephony from Mercedes-Benz your mobile phone will be charged, you can make and receive calls using the hands-free system and access all the important functions of your telephone on the screen in the centre console.

All you need for convenience telephony is the Mercedes-Benz head unit with screen, a compatible mobile phone and a cradle to connect your phone to the exterior aerial via a fixed interface in the centre console.

The integrated Bluetooth® interface allows wireless interaction with a compatible mobile phone. The functions of your phone can be accessed via the screen. Incoming text messages can also be displayed here. And if you want to make a call, you can select your contact safely and intuitively using the control unit.

The Media Interface with consumer cable kit is a universal interface in the centre console used to connect mobile audio/video devices while you're on the road.

You can also access external storage media such as USB sticks or an iPod® using the vehicle's control and display units.

The panoramic sliding sunroof, with its large glass panels, provides optimum visibility and light conditions and a more generous feeling of space in all the seats. It has an optimised net wind deflector to prevent draughts, different opening positions, an extendable roller blind that provides sun protection with one-touch operation and a
reversing function for both the glass unit and the roller blind.
