Next-gen Mercedes C 63 AMG to get plug-in hybrid four-cylinder

Autocar reports that the next-generation Mercedes-AMG C 63 will give up its membership to the V8 club and become a four-cylinder plug-in hybrid. In April 2018, Mercedes-AMG boss Tobias Möers told CarAdvice that Affalterbach's take on Mercedes' bestselling sedan would go hybrid and all-wheel drive. Then, in another Möers interview piece at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Motor Trend mentioned the 416-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the current A 45 S and CLA 45 S, and wrote, "Expect to see a version powering a future 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class AMG model."
