Overview

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 63 is a proud member of the compact SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, the Porsche Macan Turbo, and the Jaguar F-PACE SVR. With a single trim on offer, the AMG GLC 63 starts off at a base price of MSRP $70,800. Its 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine and 9-speed automatic gearbox give the SUV 469 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 3.9 seconds and boasts a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the AMG GLC 63 manages to get a combined EPA rating of 17 MPG, which is just average for the class, with most of its rivals reaching similar numbers. It also has a ground clearance of 6.2 inches.

Buying Advice

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 63's stout V8 engine, sporty handling, and luxurious interior, all make it a perfect choice for the luxury SUV shopper. It's one of the pricier options in the lineup, but the performance factor makes it worth every penny spent. While it already has a great appeal in itself, there are a few packages you won't want to miss out on. To be specific, the Smartphone Integration package will impart Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, whereas the Driving Assistance package and Parking Assistance package will add a myriad of the much-needed driving assistance technologies.
