2024 Mercedes AMG GLS 63 - The Brutal Ultra Luxury SUV!

Thanks: Silent Auto @Silent-Auto 2024 Mercedes-AMG GLS-Class Starting at $147,000 Highs: Burly V-8 power, sophisticated interior, room for the whole family. Lows: Handling isn’t quite up to AMG standards, the ride is borderline too firm, six-figure price tag. Verdict: With 603 horsepower and seating for up to seven, the GLS63 is a beast of a family hauler. Overview 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 style. What’s New for 2024? The GLS63 gets an updated set of taillights for 2024 plus new 21- 22- and 23-inch wheel designs. New puddle lamps illuminate the ground below when the front doors are opened, and the Benz logo above the grille has been replaced by an AMG-specific one. The GLS63’s brake calipers have been painted red this year as well, and a new steering wheel dresses up the cabin. More interior color options have been added and Mercedes has included more standard equipment, including a panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated front seats, automatic high-beam headlamps, and a performance exhaust system.
