Mercedes-AMG introduced the all-new G63 back in
February, but the automaker has finally announced U.S. pricing will start at US$ 147,500. Set to arrive at dealerships early next year, the 2019 Mercedes-AMG
G63 features a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine that produces 577 hp and 849 Nm of torque. It is connected to a nine-speed
automatic transmission which enables the SUV to accelerate from 0-96
km/h in 4.5 seconds. Given enough room,
the model can eventually hit a top speed of up to 239 km/h with the
optional AMG Driver’s Package.
The upgrades aren’t limited to the engine
compartment as the G63 has an adaptive damping sport suspension. Other
highlights include a strut tower brace, a performance exhaust and a rear-biased
AMG Performance all-wheel drive system.
Besides the performance tweaks, the G63 has an
aggressive front fascia with larger air intakes and an AMG-specific grille. The
model also has LED lighting units, unique wheel arches and standard running
boards. Other sporty touches include a high-performance braking system with
perforated discs that are grabbed by red calipers.
Interior changes are more modest as drivers will
find an AMG Performance steering wheel and plenty of AMG badging. The model
also has a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a matching 12.3-inch
infotainment system.
Fans who can’t wait to get their hands on the
all-new G-Class are in luck as Mercedes has announced the 2019 G 550 is now
available. Sporting a base price of US$ 124,500, the model has a twin-turbo
4.0-liter V8 engine that develops 416 hp and 609
Nm of torque.
