Design of the 2018 Mercedes-AMG E63 S
The designers at Mercedes-AMG have given the 2018 E63 S a “sensual purity” that makes for an irresistible exterior and an enchanting interior. It demands attention and respect from the onlookers with its sleek lines and smooth curves. The interior has been redesigned to become spacious so that the comfort of the occupants is never compromised.
Exquisite Exterior
The designers at Mercedes-AMG have done a fantastic job by designing an exterior that translates powerful performance and exquisite luxury together. Although the overall appearance of the 2018 Mercedes-AMG E63 S is contemporary, the vehicle retains the elegant classic proportions that make this sedan a true German luxury vehicle.
Since the all-new Mercedes-AMG E63 S sedan belongs to the 10th generation of the celebrated E-Class, it has a new front end that boasts a present-day appeal. The front fascia is now sleeker and stronger, thanks to the newly added arches and strong character lines.
The hood has sharp character lines that make the front end more aerodynamic, while the exclusive AMG styling ensures that the sedan will turn heads while it is cruising down the roads. The aggressive front fascia has a signature twin-power-dome hood that is taken directly from the AMG coupes.
A new vertical chrome diamond-black grille has been added that features the exclusive diamond-block texture behind a chrome double crosswing for an even more impressive appearance. Another feature that adds to the edgy look of the front fascia are the extra-large air intakes that are fitted into the “A-wing” for more efficient engine cooling function.
The front also features energy-efficient LED headlamps that offer quicker illumination while also presenting the distinctive Mercedes-AMG style. The 2018 Mercedes-AMG E63 S looks gorgeous even when standing still, thanks to a 2.6-inches larger wheelbase than before, which makes the stance of the sedan sportier.
Taking the already sportier stance to the next level, the 2018 E63 S sedan has been fitted with 20-inch AMG twin 5-spoke wheels and high-performance summer tyres. Sculpted wider fenders and muscular shoulders make the exterior sportier and ensure that the sedan gets a second look from everyone on the road.
The rear of the sedan features lower diffuser and lip spoiler that add to the good looks of the sedan and make it more aerodynamic at the same time. The rear also features the signature LED taillamps with “Stardust” reflector technology that illuminates the lenses with a striking effect.
As for optional features, the 2018 Mercedes-AMG E63 S is available with AMG Night Package, 2 AMG Exterior Carbon Fiber Packages, 20-inch wheels with multiple designs and accent options amongst other features.
