Mercedes-AMG 4-Cylinder PHEV Powertrain Was A Mistake, Says Automaker

Earlier this month, it was reported that the coming C-Class facelift will finally replace the controversial hybrid inline four-cylinder gas engine setup found in AMG models with bigger engines. That’s now been reported again by an anonymous source speaking to Autocar at the reveal of the new all-electric Mercedes-AMG Concept AMG GT XX. AMG’s unwanted compact powertrain will reportedly be phased out in favor of an inline six-cylinder or a new V8 setup in the next few years.
