Overview

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG G 65 SUV is a proud member of the midsize SUV segment, indirectly competing with the likes of the Bentley Bentayga SUV and the Land Rover Range Rover SV Autobiography both of which focus more on luxury and comfort and belong to the fullsize SUV segment. With standalone trim, the Mercedes-Benz AMG G 65 SUV carries a base price of MSRP $222,700. Its 6.0L twin-turbocharged V12 engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission give the SUV 621 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 5.1 seconds and boasts a maximum towing capacity of 7,000 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the Mercedes-Benz AMG G 65 SUV manages to get a combined EPA rating of 12 MPG, a number that is pretty average for the segment. It also has a ground clearance of 7.7 inches.

Buying Advice

This AMG G 65 offers the best features and the strongest engine in its class with its base configuration. We would not recommend any additions except for the optional Night package. Costing an additional $3,300, it changes the front & rear bumpers, exterior mirrors, flared wheel arches, etc in Obsidian Black.
