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

During purely electric driving, the legally required Acoustic Vehicle Altering System warns the surroundings of the approach of the Performance Hybrid. A specially composed, low-frequency, and speed-modulated AMG sound is emitted externally via a speaker at the front and a soundbar with two speakers at the rear. Part of the sound is subtly audible as acoustic feedback for the passengers inside the cabin as well. In the European Union, the system is active up to 20 km/h, in the USA up to approximately 30 km/h. After that, the electric driving signal fades out harmoniously. If desired, the electric driving sound can also be experienced at higher speeds. To do this, simply select the sound via the corresponding button on the steering wheel (identifiable by the frequency wave symbol).
