Overview

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG G 63 is a proud member of the midsize SUV vehicle class segment, locking horns with cars like the Bentley Bentayga and the Porsche Cayenne Turbo SUV. That said, the true rivalry of the AMG G63 lies with the Land Rover Range Rover and the Toyota Land Cruiser. Available as a single trim, the Mercedes-Benz AMG G 63 carries a base price of MSRP $148,495. Its 4.0L V8 and 9-speed automatic transmission give the SUV 577 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 4.4 seconds and boasts a towing capacity of 6,500 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the Mercedes-Benz AMG G 63 manages to get a combined EPA rating of 14 MPG, a poor number for the class, giving its rivals an edge. It also has a ground clearance of 9.5 inches.

Buying Advice

The one trim is perfect in itself. The iconic look and beast of an offroader combined in a quality cabin is too good to pass.
