2022 Mercedes-AMG GLS63 First Test: Big, Bold, and Unrepentantly Quick
Underneath the hood is the crown jewel, a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 with mild hybrid technology that generates 603 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque. That power gets sent to all four wheels through an AMG-tuned nine-speed automatic. The combination shocks with its stupid-fast acceleration, which belies the GLS63's docile appearance. Those who are not familiar with the AMG line also will be impressed by the agility and precise handling of this woolly mammoth of a 5,900-pound SUV.
Mercedes says the AMG GLS63 is good for a 0-60-mph time of 4.1 seconds. In our track test, however, we pulled it off in 3.7 seconds. That's quicker than the Dodge Charger Hellcat Redeye and in the ballpark of the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 PDK we recently tested. The big boss GLS63 also did the quarter-mile in 12.1 seconds at 115.7 mph.
