Overview

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz AMG GL 63 SUV is a proud member of the fullsize SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged SUV. Meanwhile, less powerful rivals with more affordable price tags include the Lincoln Navigator and Cadillac Escalade. With a single trim, the AMG GL 63 carries a base price of MSRP $118,160.

Its 5.5L Twin-Turbo V8 engine and a 7-speed automatic transmission give the SUV 550 horsepower and 560 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 4.8 seconds and boasts a max towing capacity of 7,500 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the AMG GL 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 8.5 inches.

Buying Advice

The AMG GL63 being the top-of-the-line trim boasts all the features of base trims and adds an even more powerful V8 engine, sport-tuned suspension, adaptive stabilizer bars, exclusive 21-inch wheels, AMG-specific styling elements, and a microfiber-trimmed sport steering wheel.
