Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S X253

The Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S X253 reaches 60 mph in 3.31 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 11.75 s, tripping the lights at 116.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.77 s and the eighth mile in 7.52 s, reaching 100 mph in 8.42 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the GLC 63 S X253

The 2017 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S X253 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged SUV of 1,935 kg with 503 bhp, which works out at 260 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 1.77 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 376th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 4th quickest of the 25 Mercedes-AMGs here. It leaves better than it pulls: 116.1 mph at the lights is only the 713th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S X253 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
