Overview

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 SUV is a proud member of the midsize SUV segment, locking horns indirectly with less expensive cars like the Porsche Cayenne Turbo SUV, the BMW X6 M SUV, and the Land Rover Range Rover Sport Autobiography SUV. With standalone trim, the AMG G 63 starts off at a base price of MSRP $134,300. Its 5.5L twin-turbocharged V8 engine and 7-speed automatic transmission give the SUV 536 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 5.3 seconds and boasts a towing capacity of 7,000 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the AMG G 63 manages to get a combined EPA rating of 13 MPG, a poor number for the class, giving its rivals an edge. It also has a ground clearance of 8.1 inches. 

Buying Advice

The list of standard features is huge. It includes Bi-Xenon headlights, heated and ventilated front seats, a 12-speaker Harman Kardon surround-sound system, a 7-inch display, front and rear parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, and more. There are also numerous paint choices among which the Arctic White is our favorite.
