Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG

Mercedes is bullish about the prospects of its performance oriented road cars in India and just so as to prove it, it has launched yet another AMG in the country. This time it is the ML63 AMG and it joins the AMG SUV lineup comprising of the GL63 AMG and the G63 AMG.

The ML63 AMG, which is priced at Rs 1.49 Crore ex-showroom in Delhi, is powered by the same 5.5-litre, turbocharged V8 petrol engine doing duty under the bonnet of the GL63. However, in the ML63 AMG, the engine produces 550PS of max power, almost 30PS lower than its larger, seven seater sibling. The ML63 might be lower on power, but the 2.2 tonne SUV still manages to dispatch the 0-100kmph run in 4.7 seconds. And that's down to its flat and high torque curve that peaks at 760Nm. The engine is coupled to a 7-speed torque converter unit. The ML63 AMG's top speed, meanwhile, is a governed 250kmph.

The ML63 AMG is available only in one trim level in India, and it is a fully specced out one. To go along with its crore plus price tag, the ML63 AMG comes with all the equipment you could desire, and some more. It's draped in expensive leather; the interior is a nice mix of rich looking an feeling plastic and metal inserts; and it feels airy. Equipment wise, it gets climate control, cruise control, panoramic sunroof, fully powered electric front seats with memory, and the latest COMAND system. In addition, there are plenty of airbags; there's ABS; and there's ESP, just to keep all that power in check. And, course, the AMG sport suspension.

The ML63 AMG will go up against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and though it might not have the latter's dynamic ability, it is equally fast, and in fact, more affordable.
