2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS 63 AMG Review: Luxury & Performance Compared

In this episode of Savagegeese, we delve into the realm of excess and opulence with the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS 63 AMG, the pinnacle of performance in the GLS lineup. Priced at a staggering $145,000, this beast boasts a Biturbo 4L V8 engine churning out a monstrous 603 horsepower and 627 ft-lbs of torque, propelling it from 0 to 60 in a mere blink of an eye. The focus here is on the AMG package, with attention to detail evident in the optional 23-inch wheels and the lavish interior features like heated, cooled, and massaging seats, enveloped in luxurious leather.

As we dissect the GLS 63 AMG further, we uncover the intricate craftsmanship behind its creation - built in Alabama but with its heart, the Biturbo V8, meticulously hand-built in Germany. The addition of the EQ Boost electric motor injects an extra punch of power, ensuring this gargantuan SUV moves with surprising agility and grace. The rear-biased all-wheel-drive system, combined with active suspension and sway bars, bestows upon the GLS 63 AMG an impressive level of body control, making it a formidable force on the road.

Comparisons are drawn with its rival, the BMW X7, revealing nuanced differences in performance, chassis refinement, and technological prowess. While the GLS 63 AMG shines in its raw power and engine soundtrack, the X7 edges ahead in terms of interior technology, transmission smoothness, and overall driving experience. Despite its undeniable charm and performance credentials, the GLS 63 AMG is positioned as a niche choice for those who value the unrivaled experience of its AMG V8 engine, even amidst its shortcomings in modern technology and interior design compared to its competitors.
