Big, brutish, and certainly not bashful - but a bit of bargain nonetheless
Note for reference: car weight and power data are hard to pin down with absolute certainty. For consistency, we use the same source for all our guides. We hope the data we use is right more often than it’s wrong. Our advice is to treat it as relative rather than definitive.The M157 engine featured on other 2011-on AMG cars like the CLS63 and E63.
The model's uprated fuel-saving Speedshift Plus 7G-Tronic torque converter transmission was set up for comfort rather than speed, which is a polite way of telling you not to expect a blazing response to kickdown commands. Probably no bad thing given the power and torque that was technically available. The box had three modes and an automatic ‘double-declutch’ function for smoother downshifts.
It’s a sizeable lump of motor on these so the engine mounts were prone to taking a beating. There are owners out there who have had to replace them not once but twice, which seems a lot for something that at the time of writing would still be under ten years old. On servicing, expect an independent to charge you around £250 for an A service and a little under £400 for a B service. An official AMG four-service package will be around £2,100.
Some problems were reported on the panoramic roof, an option which we think came with the facility to open the third-row windows from the driver’s seat, a useful feature on hot days if you didn’t want to have the roof open. There were recalls in 2013 for inaccessible child restraint anchor points in the rear seats and in 2016 for under-spec right rear seatbelts in cars built over a three-month period in summer 2015.
