About 23 years ago, #MercedesAMG introduced the first-ever high-performance version of an SUV called the ML55. It offered a big V8, over 350 HP and 4Matic AWD. It started a new segment of crazy fast SUV's and with so many options to choose from today, AMG has been busy upping their game with this 2021 #GLE63S. With nearly twice the power of the original, this #MercedesAMGGLE63S offers over 600 HP from its electrified 4.0L twin-turbo V8, 4Matic+ AWD, 0-60 in under 4 seconds and a top speed of over 174 MPH.

[@theredline]

Remember the old ML55 AMG from about 21 years ago? This is the all-new version with nearly twice the power, speed, and capability... What a world we live in today when your family SUV can sprint to 60 in 3.7 sec, reach a top speed of 174 MPH, and go off-roading after your track day session with its adjustable air suspension... Only question we're wondering is if you'd have this over its main rival, the BMW X5 M Competition?

[@atechguy923]

I'd take the GV80 over the both, and still have some pocket money

[@ToyotaCelicaDude1]

I don't know how often Redline sees his comments, but, you should start doing more cars that the masses can afford on top of all of these awesome luxury cars. I miss when I used to be able to come to this channel for a diverse selection of reviews, lately it's been a ton of cars that most people can't afford

[@wagrj5738]

@@davidlegkodukh6969 you're absolutely right. But you know no dealership, be it in the certified pre-owned section of an official M-B dealer or just some standalone used dealer lot, will ever price one of these to honor such depreciation. Especially after only one year. Every leech that is a used car salesman will definitely push that unjustified high price tag long after the value has plummeted.

Great review as always! Though it seems a lot of car reviewers always miss out on the extra configurable functions of the left AMG Drive Unit. If you tap on it you can change it to do different functions such as exhaust valves, suspension, etc. It's more configurable than the Porsche's dial (and better looking) and I believe AMG had it before Porsche as well.

[@dylanw890]

The point that you mentioned about the EQ boost technology replacing the starter noise is pretty cool! During the engine start it didn't make a cranking noise, it was just a flip of the switch kind of noise

[@damilolaakanni]

I prefer the looks of this to the GLE coupe. Plus, it's more practical. If you're getting an AMG GLE 63S, this is the one to get.

This interior design is just beautiful. But it does have some hard scratchy plastics in places where there shouldn't be. And that row of plastic buttons on the dash feel so flimsy and cheap. You could easily rip that right off with one hand. Not as solid as the BMW X5 or even the GV80, and both of those are cheaper. And the Genesis is MUCH cheaper. I just think if you're going to charge the most in class, you better have the best of everything. Benz could do better, imo. Anyone else?

If an individual should want more power than a Maybach GLS 600 and still wants the executive 2-row seats with heated, ventilated and massage function plus a 3rd row, then they should get the GLS 63 s ..... That's why the GLE 63 S doesn't offer cooled second-row seats...
