Mercedes-Benz India has launched two performance SUVs today, the Mercedes-AMG G 63 Edition 463 and Mercedes-AMG GLS 63, priced at Rs 2.17 Crore and Rs 1.58 Crore, ex-showroom Pune, respectively.
While the G 63 Edition 463 was launched globally in 2015 to celebrate 35 years of G-Wagen, the GLS 63 is the AMG version of Mercedes’ incredibly huge GLS 4Matic.
The Edition 463 packs a 5.5 litre V8 biturbo, developing 420 kW/572 hp @ 5500 rpm and a maximum torque of 760 Nm @ 2000 – 5000 rpm. 0 to 100 km/h acceleration happens in 5.4 seconds, and top speed is electronically limited to 210 km/h.
Feature list includes a combination of three 100% differential locks, off-road reduction gear, Electronic Traction System 4ETS, black designo leather, AMG carbon-fibre accents, and 21-inch 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels in matt black.
The GLS 63 on the other side gets the same 5.5 litre V8 biturbo, developing an output of 430 kW (576 hp) @ 5500 rpm and maximum torque of 760 Nm @ 1750 – 5250 rpm. The large SUV accelerates from 0 – 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds, and top speed is limited to 250 km/h. The 4Matic all-wheel-drive system is rear biased with 40:60 split.
AMG Ride Control sports suspension with Active Curve Stabilisation roll system, AMG Performance steering wheel in black nappa leather, Harmon Kardon Logic 7 surround sound system, Panoramic sliding sunroof, and LED Intelligent Light System are some of the features.
Transmission is an AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-Tronic automatic for both the SUVs.
Roland Folger, Managing Director & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India said: “Our AMG portfolio has witnessed overwhelming success and we are thrilled to introduce two new performance SUVs– Mercedes-AMG G 63 ‘Edition 463’ and GLS 63 to our performance luxury SUV range in India. Launched in India, for the first time in 2013, this iconic beast has been the vehicle of choice for our elite clientele and its timeless design remains fascinating till date. “One man, one engine” is more than a guiding philosophy for Mercedes-AMG, it’s a pedigree of performance. It is a testament brought to life during several years of gruesome off-roading and seamless track testing, that this particular engine – the 5.5 Litre, bi-turbo V8 engine has sublimely mastered. Both the G 63 and the GLS 63 have uniquely fulfilled the desires of those ardent enthusiasts, who believe in scintillating performance regardless of the terrain, time, temperature or topography. With the launch of these supreme performance SUVs, we now offer 9 AMG models in India.”
