It’s stylish, spacious and more brutal than ever. That’s the new GL 63 AMG. The talking point here, however, is the engine. The AMG M 157 eight-cylinder engine features an innovative, high-tech power package including spray-guided direct petrol injection, piezo injectors, biturbo charging, air/water intercooling, all-aluminium crankcase, a four-valve-per-cylinder design with variable camshaft adjustment, plus alternator management and the ECO start/stop system. That translates to 557PS and a humongous 760Nm of torque. Flooring the pedal will get you to a 100km/h in a claimed 4.9 seconds and onto a limited top speed of 250km/h.
Power is transmitted to all four permanently driven wheels by the AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-TRONIC. Featuring three modes and an automatic double-declutching function for downshifting, this seven-speed automatic transmission offers a fascinatingly broad scope of variability. To further enhance efficiency, the smart transmission incorporates a fuel-economy converter with centrifugal pendulum, bearings designed for reduced friction loss and a transmission-oil thermal management system.
There’s a lot of feel too, thanks to the electromechanical AMG speed-sensitive sports steering featuring variable power assistance which responds in accordance with the chosen suspension mode. It also helps to save fuel, as the steering assist function only requires energy when the driver actually moves the steering wheel. Smart stuff this!
The insides are just as impressive. All seven seats in the high-performance SUV are covered in high-quality leather, as is the centre armrest. Electrically adjustable AMG sports seats feature double topstitching in a contrasting colour and AMG badges on the front seat backrests and outer rear seat backrests. The dashboard, armrests and door panelling come in ARTICO man-made leather with double topstitching. As part of the optional designo Exclusive package, these components can be covered in high-quality designo leather.
The previous GL AMG was already and impressive and now with the new car, Mercedes-Benz has just risen the benchmark again. Also Read: New Mercedes-Benz ML 350 CDI Launched
