Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 and AMG GLE 63 S, cool nonsense

Mercedes It has made official a few hours ago the arrival on the market of what is probably its most spacious and powerful car. We talk about Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 4Matic. This is the top-of-the-range variant of the luxurious German SUV, which in this case even bears the AMG seal, with all that this implies. In the same way, its little brother GLE also offers the most performing variant, the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S 4Matic.

Yes, the firm of the star has jointly launched these two high-end cars in the Spanish market. They are two SUV models with a large interior space, trunk capacity and very high quality, but with some very high dynamic performance. Makes sense? I don't think it's too logical to buy a car of this type, but Mr money is a powerful gentleman. Although they are not very rational cars, the truth is that they have their audience.

You already know so much Mercedes GLS like the GLE, so I don't want to go into too much aesthetic detail. Let's focus on its features and performance, but before that I want to be direct and inform you of its prices: The Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 costs 176.150 euros, while the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S is priced at 155.300 euros. Of course, remember that they are prices without any added optional. It will not be difficult to approach 200.000 euros.

Two giant gasoline cars with 612 CV and Eco sticker

Both share the same mechanics, developing the same performance. We are talking about a twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine, which cubic 3.982 cc. A 4.0 liters, to round. It is linked to a 9-speed automatic gearbox and 4Matic+ all-wheel drive. It develops by itself a power of 612 CV between 5.750 and 6.500 rpm, as well as a torque of 850 Nm. And I say by itself because this mechanic has a system Mild Hybrid at 48 volts, giving an extra 22 hp with the EQ Boost starter alternator.

This detail, despite being a gigantic model of 5,2 meters and more than 2,5 tons with a huge gasoline engine, allows it to receive the DGT Eco sticker.
