"With the E Performance drive in the GLC 63 S, we are also launching the first performance hybrid SUV. The all-wheel-drive system, the active rear-axle steering and the quick-shifting transmission enhance the emotionally appealing hallmark AMG driving experience," said Michael Schiebe, CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH and Head of business units Mercedes‑Benz G‑Class & Mercedes‑Maybach.
At the heart of the new Mercedes-AMG GLC models is the AMG 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, with electric exhaust gas turbocharger.
The M139l engine, as it is known internally (l for longitudinal installation), is the only production engine in the world to date that is turbocharged with an electric exhaust gas turbocharger.
The system is a direct derivative of the technology that the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team has been using successfully.
The new form of turbocharging guarantees particularly spontaneous response across the entire rev range.

In the GLC 43 4MATIC, the turbocharged AMG 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine produces 310 kW (421 hp) and has an additional boost of 10 kW (14 hp) via the belt-driven starter-generator in the lower speed range.
The standard rear-axle steering, the AMG Performance 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive with rear-biased torque distribution, the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission with wet start-off clutch and the AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension with Adaptive Damping System also contribute to the dynamic driving experience.
The hybrid powertrain exclusive to Mercedes-AMG in the GLC 63 S E Performance combines the AMG 2.0-litre turbo engine with an Electric Drive Unit (EDU) on the rear axle.
The electric motor boosts power and torque according to the situation.
Electric-only mode is also possible. The electric powertrain and the high-performance battery with 400 volts are AMG exclusive in-house developments.
The combined system output is 500 kW (680 hp), the combined maximum system torque 1,020Nm.
Another highlight is the fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive for even more driving pleasure.
Added to this is the standard active rear-axle steering, which combines agility and stability.
