The engine
One man, one engine philosophy
Limited number of master techs/engineering is Affalterbach Germany
Hand building these AMG engines
When they’re done they sign them and plaque them
603 hp 627 lbft
Also now with a 48V mild hybrid system ~17 mpg (4runner)
Transmission
AMGs 9 speed is my favorite
So sharp so snappy
Goes to all 4 wheels obviously
0-60 in 4.1 sec
Air suspension
Adaptive air suspension for performance
Active anti-roll bars powered by mild hybrid
But also for convenience (trunk & get in/out)
Running boards
Kind of unnecessary
Trunk
Very big
2nd and 3rd rows electronic up and down
Big cubby underneath with space saver spare
Dome lights
Crystals
Super bright
Cupholers
Heatde and cooled
Everything has massage seats now, dazzle me with cupholders
Wheels
LOVE the multispoke AMG wheels
These are 23 in
Silver on center hub and rim (explain rim)
Wrapped in PS4 tires
Plus beefed up red AMG brakes underneath
Exterior AMG things
MASSIVE panamericana grille - very square
Lower fascia - blacked out night package
Front fender bi-turbo badge
Rear quad rhombus tips
Rhombus always means V8
Seats
Quilted black leather
Heated & cooled up front
Massage up front
Heated in rear
No heated third row - can get that on Palisade now
But also heated armrests front and rear…dope
Seat controls
Classic Mercedes seat controls are on the door
BUT the driver can control the passenger seat from their side
Third row check
Decent size!
Has electronic toggle to move 2nd brown back in place
Other things***
Second row
Great size
Falt floor
Captains chairs here
Climate zone and vents
Towing
Normal GLS can tow up to 7700 lbs
Same in the 63 from what I saw…amazing
Drive modes
Of course normal, sport, comfort etc
But also trail and offroad modes…yeah right
Acoustic comfort package
Upgraded acoustic glass for sound deadening
Also a heat resisting membrane so doesnt get so hot
Running lights
Triple diode to signify S designation class
Rear wiper
This is their biggest SUV
And yet the tiniest rear wiper
We see this a lot actually or we dont see a rear wiper at all…Lexus RZ
Carbon fiber
Everywhere on the interior
Even through the back
Ambient light
Even in the Cayenne console handles (love btw)
Does it have the crazy lighting***
AMG track pace
Seems like a funny thing to have on a massive 3 row SUV
But i guess if you want to turn lap times you can
Window shades
Rear powered window shades
Driver can control them
Also MASSIVE pano roof with shade
AMG steering wheel
My favorite steering wheel in any car
Drive mode on right
Porgrammable toggles on left
Alcantara
Huge metal paddles
Digital cluster
Obviously you have it, endless customizability
HUD has almost too much info (customize)
Center info
MBUX is awesome
360 cameras are great
AR navigation
Endless customizeability
Still physical climate controls tho
Center console
Transmission
Traction control
Air side level
Damper control
Exhaust
Distronic
Great autopilot
Soft close doors
Very lux
