Mercedes-AMG Adjusts Powertrain Strategy, Phasing Out Four-Cylinder PHEV System
Mercedes-AMG is readjusting its powertrain strategy and plans to gradually phase out the four-cylinder plug-in hybrid system currently used in the C 63 and GLC 63. The system, which combines the 2.0 - liter four - cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine with the code M139 and an electric motor, has been in use since 2022. Despite its outstanding performance, it has failed to impress traditional customers due to the lack of the V8 engine's roar and character, and the increased vehicle weight has weakened the dynamic performance. In the future, AMG will focus on two main fuel engines: an improved inline - six - cylinder engine and a newly developed V8 engine with a flat - crankshaft. The latter is related to the GT Black Series and emphasizes mechanical performance and emotional connection. At present, the official has not yet officially announced the discontinuation time of the plug - in hybrid power system, but under the pressure of technology and regulations, this complex system will eventually exit the stage. Meanwhile, Mercedes - Benz is also gradually phasing out the compact car lineup based on the M139 engine, and products including the A - Class Hatchback will be gradually discontinued. The SL 43 4Matic, which currently uses this engine, will also switch to a six - cylinder turbocharged power system in the future. AMG will continue to promote the "dual - track strategy", that is, to develop electric vehicles and electrified internal combustion engine models simultaneously, and cooperate to develop a new generation of V8 engines to meet future emission regulations and provide broader electrification coverage for six - and eight - cylinder power through 48V mild - hybrid systems or complete hybrid solutions. This strategic adjustment means that AMG will gradually return to a power configuration closer to the brand's tradition, no longer overly rely on the technical route of small - displacement, high - output, but refocus on performance, experience and sound, strengthen the emotional connection with high - end users, and steadily transition to the electric age.
