577 Hp, Twin Turbocharged V-8, New Mercedes-AMG G63 SUV 2023-2024br br This AMG-badged G63 throws fire in the face of the seasoned Mercedes-Benz G-class we reviewed separately. A 577-horsepower twin-turbocharged V-8 gives this Hollywood cowboy faster acceleration than the Ford Bronco Raptor. Still, the hefty price tag separates CEOs from average Joes. A luxurious room with 20-inch wheels, the G63's high-quality cabin materials and techno-gorgeous cockpit,br br While the G63 starts at around $180,000, most go well above that due to the countless customization options. However, the standard equipment list is quite livable, as every Mercedes-AMG G63 comes with 20-inch wheels, adaptive dampers, front brush guard, leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, and three-zone climate control.br br Regular G63s come with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine that produces 577 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque. A nine-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters sends that power to the all-wheel-drive system (4Matic in Mercedes marketing speak). A low-range gearing system (2.93:1 reduction) and three locking differentials are standard, allowing the G63 to scale steep dirt slopes with incredible ease. At our test track, the nearly 5,800-pound G63 rocketed to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds. Besides its extra power, the G63 also features AMG-specific suspension tuning.br br A worthy camper or boat carrier, the G63's maximum towing capacity is an impressive 7,000 pounds.br br Although the hyper-linear cabin will feel familiar if you've stepped into an older G-class, it's now a thoroughly modern place, with a 12.0-inch digital instrument cluster, high-quality materials and conveniences like cup holders and a trunk. Tall drivers and passengers will find plenty of head and leg room both front and rear. There's still no power tailgate at the rear of the G-class, and you'll need to be in good shape to open the side-hinged door, on which a full-size spare tire is mounted. With the rear seats removed, you'll have 38 cubic feet of cargo space. Folding these (6040 split) provides approximately 69 cubic feet.br br The G63 has a standard 12.0-inch infotainment interface with navigation as well as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration. Also included is a three-year subscription to Mercedes-Benz's connected car services, which provide essential features like remote engine start and stolen vehicle tracking. Options include Wi-Fi and a rear entertainment system with dual 10.0-inch touchscreens, each with its own USB, auxiliary and HDMI ports.
