Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG

Just a couple of days ago, Mercedes’s teaser of the latest AMG to reach the market brightened our Sunday, and now they apparently could no longer resist and have made official something we all already knew: a high-performance SUV that will surely surprise you thanks to the wide range of nuances it can offer.

Specifically, we are talking about an SUV that is not only more attractive, something it shares with the rest of the class, but also much more athletic, muscular and sporty, thanks to a new aerodynamic kit developed exclusively by the German brand for this particular vehicle. You will likely like this kit, at least at the front.

Setting aside the styling or the interior, which can be personalised in hundreds of ways, we will focus on what really matters in this vehicle: an enormous 5.5-litre V8 engine capable of producing 518 horsepower and 700 Nm of peak torque. It is a truly otherworldly engine that delivers not only more power but also efficiency of around 33%, according to the German brand.

As we already knew, all of the vehicle’s potential will be delivered to all four wheels through 4MATIC traction, specially tuned for this model, via a seven-speed automatic gearbox called AMG Speedshift Plus 7. According to Mercedes, with this considerable technological effort the new ML63 AMG can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, while the top speed will once again be electronically limited to 250 km/h.

Finally, as with other AMG variants, the AMG Performance package will be available, raising the vehicle’s performance to 550 horsepower and 759 Nm of peak torque. Among other things, this means you will shave a few tenths off the 0 to 100 km/h time of your SUV, while the top speed rises to 280 km/h.
