The Indian automotive segment has never been so active that
flew of launches across various price bands. In fact I am keep telling my team
that you were all lucky to win a decade when the industry witnessing the most
exciting and performance oriented models from across the world and I am not
just suffering to super cars. Range Rover sport and the Porsche Cyan Turbo has
opened up a new segment of emerging super SUV’s in India and latest one to join
this segment is Mercedes reply to the British and German offerings. Its call the
GL63AMG and comes with an engine that puts out almost 50 % more power then even
the Ferrari California. Well stay tune, as we diverse deeper in to the details
of this mega SUV today.
While there have million finer details about the GL that I
can talk about but lets start the review by discussing the heart of the matter.
Something that is surprises in this SUV’s is from its cheaper diesel power
assembly. Under the massive hood is an equally massive power plant that is fine
built; a twin turbo, 5.5 L petrol unit with 8 cylinder position in a V
configuration, this engine puts out over a 550 Bhp of power along with 760 Nm
of torque. The put forwarding to prospective the GL63AMG put out 4.5 times of
power and almost 4 times a torque as compared to petrol A Class. With and
engine like this at your command is just not mistaking punch line on your face
but the way the GL63AMG picks up the
speed from lowest of RPM and eating up gaps in traffic and disappearing up view
from the other motorists and all these complete by the sweetest exhaust nod we
have heard from any SUV’s in India. Brilliant stuff is this.
Of course being an SUV the GL63AMG can also take a fare bit
of off roading as well, though we doubt any owner will indulge in endings like
these. Raise of the suspensions this thing can think of the most challenging
experience some thing that we found out from the diesel siblings last year. It’s
only the road by styling that can be early and can be a slight issue on rainy
spots and slippery wet snow roads. This engine is made to the AMG’s speeds
shift plus 7 lead tronic systems that has 7 gears and 3 transmission modes.
There is an automatic, double d cap function as well to enhance the emotional
experience and of course driving safely. The three modes get accelerated paddle
and shift curve and these are C, S and M. now what you are hitting down the
city roads and daring down with extra stretch the GL63AMG is importing stance
will give you a more that just give you a handsome of glances. Are media car
came with a special kit of AMG as well which usually makes it better over a
standard model. Talking about front of the car, a new grill with two glowing
chrome lines, a new front bumper with AMG styled eight shift centered eight m,
AMG specific daytime running LED’s and new AMG alloy wheels and new rear bumper
with quadrille tail pipes but it is large in dimensions with 5.1 meter of
length and 1.9 meter in width and 1.8 meter for height you don’t have to honk
twice to make other drivers to give you way on the road. It all happens
automatically and as you overtake hatchback in sedans you literally tower over
them while being cuckooed in a typical Mercedes environment. Talking of environment,
the GL63AMG has the exact interior designed in normal GL but of course with lot
more features added. Fly in the huge cabin and you have more than enough space
to host a small dinner party. It is even enough letter to save the most
expensive Sedan
being loaded upper and lower section of the instrumentation panel a bet line
upholstered in man made black leather. This SUV is blend with full convenient
features. Let me take a deep breath for these features out. Electric seat with
memory and heated rear seats and both heat and cool front seats, electric
mirror with auto dimming, climate control air conditioning and entertainment
system with DVD screen, a massive panoramic sunroof, parking camera with
sensors that supports a 360 degree view including the top shots, electrically
reclining third row seats, 9 air bags, Mercedes tsys sytem, Fraction control,
active curve system, down hills revolution, crumple zone impact beams and so
on, you also got a night vision assist system which hardly usable in India and
if don’t get in to much, you adjust support and massage functions of the front
two seats with click of button in its command interface and to get off from
morning hangover you can even use the warm function of front two cup holders to
keep your super strong coffee hot as you drive to you stud farm or after
importing client meeting. The AMG stretch is loaded with Stainless steel door
handles with AMG Lettering, AMG Doormat, AMG instrumentation cluster with 11.4
cm TFT multifunction display, AMG main menu including the race time of and of
course the 320 KMPH dial. Then there is AMG performer 4 Spoke steering wheel
with flat in bottom and AMG bag in the back seat and there is Chrome look
electronic key with AMG emblem and stainless steel paddle. The GL63AMG find
itself in a jungle of sports. A jungle that has other creatures in the firm of super
isolated Sedans, super cars, converted ones and super powerful SUV’s all
fighting for space in Rs. 122 crore brackets. The biggest and the most powerful
Mercedes offering in India,
roam around feeling like it massive rivals jungle and drive it to top in term
of sales.
Power and performance, they come at a price and in this case
the GL63AMG has a price of Rs. 1.66 Crores Ex showroom Delhi adding
approximately 30 Lakhs and the on road price goes to more than 2 Crores Bracket
and yet we are complaining. This SUV is completely unique. It will do what
other can’t. Eyes catching features, Safety Aids, Comfort zones and of course
day time performance that can be convertible and this sounds like a real super
car. If you are very deep pocket and looking for super SUV then go ahead and
indulge in GL63AMG.
