2016 Mercedes-AMG G63 Makes Malaysian Debut. RM1.18 million

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia today expanded its SUV line up with the introduction of three new models – the GLC Coupe, GLS, and what turned out to be the highlight of the whole event – the Mercedes-AMG G63.

Powered by a 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine paired to the AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-Tronic transmission, the SUV delivers a massive 571 hp (27 hp more than before) and 760 Nm of peak torque.

Thanks to the powertrain, the G63 is able to sprint from standstill to 100km/h in just 5.3 seconds and clock a top speed of 210 km/h.

Design wise, it still adapts the unmistakeable design of the model which has been around since 1979. Key features on the latest edition however, includes an AMG radiator grille with duel lamellae and four chrome inserts, prominent bumpers with large air intakes, fender flares, stainless steel running boards and protective strips on the sides with brushed aluminium accents (optional), 21-inch matte black forged AMG wheels, as well as red brake calipers.

Inside, the G63 comes with standard features such as

• New instrument panel
• Latest Mercedes-Benz COMAND navigation
• Harman Kardon audio system
• Multicontour seats with pneumatic bolsters
• Premium leather trim
• Fluted leather door panelling
• Distronic Plus
• Blind Spot Assist
• Parktronic with reverse camera
• ESP Stability control
• Trailer Stability Assist

Priced at RM1,181,888 (OTR with insurance), the Mercedes-AMG G63 was the only form of the new G-Class which was launched officially.

The G-Class is also available with a 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine good for 245hp and 600Nm powering the G350d, which Mercedes-Benz Malaysia will provide upon request.
