2024 Mercedes AMG GLS 63 V8 603HP 4.0L - ULTIMATE SUV - PREMIERE [4K]
With a 603-hp twin-turbo V-8 engine and an AMG-massaged air suspension, the 2024 GLS63 is a luxury SUV for the power-hungry. Its roaring powertrain propelled it to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds at our test track, and with seating for up to seven passengers, it'll get the school run done nearly as quickly. Straight-line performance is its forte though, as the GLS63's handling-while perfectly acceptable for the performance SUV class-isn't as athletic as the brand's super sedans and sports cars. Its ride is firm, especially on the optional 23-inch wheels, so if you're looking for max comfort, you'll want to look at the Benz-branded GLS instead. Comfort and technology features are nearly identical to that less-aggressive model, and they include a wall of digital displays on the dashboard, contemporary connectivity features, supportive seats, high-end materials, and plenty of styles.
Under the hood of the GLS63 is a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine that makes a whopping 603 horsepower with the help of a 48-volt hybrid system. All-wheel drive is standard, as is a nine-speed automatic transmission and air suspension. We were blown away by the GLS63's performance at our test track as it out-accelerated several hot sports cars we've tested, tearing off a blistering 3.6-second zero-to-60-mph run. For comparison, the old GLS63-which made a mere 577 horsepower-managed a none-too-shabby 4.3-second zero-to-60-mph run. As impressed as we were with the GLS's acceleration, we can't say the same for its driving dynamics. The ride is firm, especially on the optional 23-inch wheels, but that firmness doesn't translate to a feeling of unflappable precision when cornering, though it does offer plenty of grip to have some fun with on a twisty road.
