High Fuel Efficiency, High Performance


AMG Chairman Ola Källenius stated, "While the performance, exclusivity, and driving experience have certainly been elevated to a new generation befitting the predecessor, what we must particularly emphasize this time is the high efficiency."

As the chairman's words suggest, the newMercedes-BenzML63 AMG is characterized, first and foremost, by its high fuel efficiency.

The ML63 AMG is equipped with an AMG 5.5-liter V8 twin-turbo engine that boasts a maximum output of 386 kW (525 hp) and peak torque of 700 Nm, making it even more powerful than its predecessor. With the optional AMG Performance Package, the V8 engine's output further increases to a maximum of 410 kW (557 hp) and 760 Nm of torque. It achieves 0-100 km/h in 4.7 and 4.8 seconds, with a top speed of 250 km/h, delivering sports car-level performance despite being an SUV. Nevertheless, it is 4 kilograms lighter and achieves 28% better fuel economy than the previous model. Both packages achieve 11.8 liters per 100 km. CO2 emissions are 276 g/km.

Furthermore, the ECO start/stop function is a notable feature that enhances fuel efficiency. When the C mode is selected via the selector, it activates and automatically stops the engine during temporary stops. The "AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC" also contributes to improved efficiency, not only by promising sportier driving for the driver through improved and streamlined gear shifts and associated component responses, but also by enhancing efficiency.

The new ML63 AMG leaves no stone unturned in terms of performance, with improved brakes and enhanced roll stability during cornering thanks to the newly developed "Active Curve System." With the AMG package, the engine cover is made of high-quality carbon, the brake calipers are red, and the steering wheel is covered in Nappa leather.
The base model is priced at 108,885 euros, with the AMG Performance Package adding an additional 7,021 euros.
