The Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE - New sound experience in all driving states - electric, hybrid and combustion engine

When driving purely electrically, the legally prescribed Acoustic Vehicle Altering System warns the surroundings of the approach of the performance hybrid. This sounds a specially composed, low-frequency and speed-modulated AMG sound. This is emitted to the outside via a loudspeaker at the front and a sound bar with two loudspeakers at the rear. Part of the sound can also be heard discreetly in the interior as acoustic feedback for the passengers. In the European Union, the system is active up to 20 km/h, in the USA up to the equivalent of around 30 km/h. After that, the electric driving signal fades out harmoniously. Those who wish can also experience the electric driving sound up to higher speed ranges. To do so, simply select the sound via the corresponding button on the steering wheel (recognizable by the frequency wave symbol). In addition, the AMG developers offer customers a more advanced sound experience. To this end, they use a pressure sensor in the exhaust system to pick up the real sound of the combustion engine and additionally enrich it before it is emitted in the interior via the entertainment sound system. This makes it possible to experience the typical AMG sound up close. In addition, the sound image is also modulated via the exterior speakers. All within the framework of the legal requirements that apply in the respective markets. The intensity depends on the selected driving program. However, it can also be individually adjusted via the display in the center console or the steering wheel button. In every situation, one thing remains the same: the performance hybrid is also immediately recognizable acoustically as an AMG under all conditions.
