Mercedes C63 AMG vs. Jaguar XF Supercharged: Which Would You Choose?

By Rob

Editor-in-Chief

Want style, luxury and gobs of power? This week’s Showroom Showdown features two heavy hitters from Europe. The C63 AMG weighs 3,649 pounds and has a 6.2 liter V8 which puts out 451 hp. The XF weighs 4,194 pounds and has a supercharged 4.2 liter V8 which produces 420 hp. Sadly, neither is available with a manual transmission. The Jag is priced a tad higher at $63k vs. $56k for the AMG, but hey, you’re not paying, you’re just driving. So, which would you choose?

C63 Vs XFR 510 HP Jaguar which could tune up to 600HP. Goodbye Merc. Jaguar is pulling alot of german cars into british territory. its only a matter of time. Mercs always have problems which Jaguar has resolved.

I am an 06 E55 Amg driver. Have an 02 M3. I tested the Jag, it just proved me that they need a lot of more work to do. I would not take the c63 AMg but I will take any SL 63 or 65 AMG any day.

Odd match up…I’ve driven both…jag not impressive…C63 is a frigg’n luxury hotrod racecar. Definitely the AMG.

I work in a Porsche/Acura/Mercedes/Lexus/Jag dealership…
I’ve driven both cars plenty, plus their other competitors like the M3 Coupe and the IS-F, but these cars are at opposite ends of the segment.

Having said that, the C63 has all the amenities the Jag has (minus a couple of “wow” features like the volume-knob style drive selector and JaguarSense). The C63 pulls it off like a brute, while the Jag does it with elegance.

For now, while I’m young and my heart’s in good condition, I’ll take the C63 – it’s literally the only car that I’ve ever driven that frightened me a little every time.

When I’m 40, but I still want speed, it’ll be XF.

I would take the Jag but anyway I was thinking of the next head to head match up I doubt the use them but the 2009 Cadillac Cts 3.6L V6 SIDI $38,205 304HP 17/26 MPG weight 3861lb VS 2009 ACURA TL 5spd AT 3.7L V6 305HP $35,505 17/25 weight 3942lb

The Jag is nice, a step in the rite direction.
“Bang for the Buck”
C63-AMG.
This car could easly have a higher price.
If it was a Cadillac it would be 100k.
It’s amazing that Benz is a bargan.

This is my style of car,
“SYLE, PERFORMACE AND LUXERY”
Past cars that compare;
C55 AMG, Cadillac CTS-V & STS-V, New CTS-V, Chrysler 300-SRT,
to name a few.

I USED TO WORK AT A JAG DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE GOTTEN TO DRIVE THE JAG. THE COOL PART ABOUT THE JAG IS THAT THE SHIFTER POPS UP AND THE VENTS ROLL OUT WHEN YOU START THE CAR OTHER THEN THAT THE CAR IS A PILE FOR THE PRICE. I WOULD DEFFINATELY GO WITH THE BENZO.

WHOEVER SAID MERCEDES ARE THE WORST CARS EVER IS JUST FUCKIN STUPID…THE C63 AMG WOULD OWN THE JAG ANY DAY PLUS DO ANY OF THE JAGS HAVE A V12 TWIN TURBOCHARGED…I DIDNT THINK SO

I’d take the Jag over C63 AMG any day. The C63 has really ugly front styling IMO, whereas I absolutely love all of the XF’s styling.

the jag. the amg has a really strange looking front end to me. its like it doesnt flow right. too many angles going too many directions.

Sim
Oct 23, 2008 at 11:44 pm

Being a Benz owner and test driving older jags I would take the C63 any day. Its better in every way,shape and form. jags good if you like a pos rides.

if you really look at the amg it looks like it could be an every day car made by suzuki or something,(hear me out) just look past the mercedes badge and imagine a suzuki badge, it’s really not that hard to imagine. the jaguar looks like a sport luxury. ill take the JAG!

the amg is really nice…like the muscle car of the lux world…but driving a jag is just a whole another experience…so i’d pick the jag….

C63 any day over a POS Jaguar.

John
Oct 23, 2008 at 8:58 pm

The Jaguar. cuz the front styling looks btter than the benz. Its not always the difference of 30HP

shitface
Oct 23, 2008 at 8:42 pm

the benz! just cuzz it weighs less and has more power so its a sure win although with the jag ud save more gas!

Rod
Oct 23, 2008 at 8:12 pm

outside looks, maybe the AMG cause i really dont like those balls on the headlights of the Jag, but inside luxury, ill definitely take the Jag!!!

This Jaguar is the best car in it’s class IMO. They also have exclusivity, somrthing cars of this type need. Merc, BMW & Audi are too concerned with numbers sold. That Merc is soooo ugly too.

The C63 is a BEAST.
But the Jag looks sweeter.

Either way, Power makes you go faster not looks, so I take the

AMG.

Mercedes Benz C63, after watching them throw a couple of them around a track on Speed, no way I’d choose a Jag or any other car over it.

Given the choice between Mercedes and Jaguar, there isn’t a choice with one exception… the XJ220s.

The benz is lighter, faster n’ stuff, but when you think about luxury and exclusivity, there’s no way a C-class can come close to a Jaguar… I’d take the Jaguar. Even if the benz is better-looking…

Yet another stupid comparison by Cardomain, good job! The XF competes with the 5 series, E-class, and A6. Not with the C-class.

Definately the C63. Thats got to be the ugliest Jag i’ve ever seen. Period.

Mercedes C63 AMG, when you talk luxury you think of Mercedes, not to mention the extra hp it has

there is no comparison when it comes to power… the c is a beast compared to any small size sedan…and compared to sedans in general!

C63 without a doubt! Watch the top gear episode featuring it if you have doubts!!!

Oct 23, 2008 at 1:53 am

AMG all the way. It’s a high-class symbol and it’s no doubt a fast car. Plus Jags are just Fords in disguise.

John Mark
Oct 23, 2008 at 1:51 am

This is a hard choice… If I got a luxury car I’d want it for what it’s made for – luxury – so I’ll say the Jag. It looks a lot better in my opinion, that is, in real life, not really in pictures.

Jag, hands down.

Normally it would be AMG. But they aren’t race cars, they are luxury cars meant to turn heads and get laid. Jag on this one.

I hope the benz wins, here’s why if we keep the hype of JAG down less people will buy one, which means I can go buy one and not look like all you people out there in the mercedes LOL. Keep it original not popular my vote JAG!

The Jag would probably net more chicks. The Merc is meaner and faster though. So …
The Jag wins.
