Mercedes-Benz is proud to announce a new AMG flagship within our luxury SUV portfolio: the GL63 AMG. As the pinnacle of performance and technology with a specific focus on refinement and exclusivity, the GL63 establishes a command position as the clear choice for the discerning performance luxury SUV customer.

Starting from the inside, the GL63 amazes with its exclusive appointments and long list of standard features. Exquisite attention to detail, perfect ergonomics and a generous amount of space characterize the exclusive AMG interior. All seven seats in the high-performance SUV are upholstered in premium, leather. The electrically adjustable AMG sports front seats feature double stitching in a contrasting color, as well as AMG badges in the backrests of the front seats and the outer rear seats. The dashboard, armrests and door trim are finished elegantly with double stitching. On the exterior, unique styling cues for the GL63 include front and rear trim elements in a Silver Shadow finish, integrated running boards and the signature quad trapezoidal AMG exhaust tips.

The AMG 5.5-liter V8 biturbo engine delivers the perfect balance of horsepower and torque for a refined power delivery and performance that is expected of AMG. With a peak output of 550 hp and 560 lb-ft of torque, the GL63 AMG accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 (est) seconds. Also featured is the ECO Start/Stop System, which helps improve fuel consumption by automatically stopping and restarting the engine when the vehicle is stationary.

Power is delivered though the AMG 7 SPEEDSHIFT 7-Speed automatic transmission and routed to each of the 21″ AMG wheels courtesy of the standard 4-Matic system which enhances the dynamic characteristics by splitting the drive 40:60 between the front and rear axles. The transmission offers 3 different modes (Controlled Efficiency, Sport and Manual) each with different shift characteristics allowing the driver to select a mode that suits their driving style of the moment or change it on the fly. To ensure the best handling dynamics, the AMG adaptive sports suspension with AIRMATIC package, consisting of air suspension, special struts, automatic self-leveling function and Adaptive Damping System (ADS), is combined with the Active Curve System and delivered as standard equipment.

First deliveries are planned for Q1 2013 with all final specifications, ordering information and pricing to be released in the near future.
