Overview

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 SUV is a proud member of the midsize SUV segment, locking horns indirectly with cars like the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, Lexus LX 570 (can seat 8 people) and the Land Rover Range Rover Sport Autobiography. Available as a standalone trim, the AMG G63 starts off at a base price of MSRP $135,700. 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 G63 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 7.7 inches.
