U.S. GL63 AMG May Cost Twice That Of Base GL

Emmanuel P November 27, 2012

We all know the adage, if you have to ask, you can’t afford it. It’s something that the majority of Mercedes owners may not really worry about. But Mercedes-AMG fans do know that the in-house tuner’s products have a hefty premium. So, if the base GL-Class costs around $60,000 dollars, well, computing twice that amount is a no brainer.

That’s a hefty chunk of money, and a few would-be buyers would probably think twice about shelling out that amount. But the AMG badge doesn’t go on a Mercedes product without some solid engineering behind it. In the GL’s case, it’s primarily the 550 horsepower powertrain coupled to a seven-speed DCT and all-wheel drive. Mercedes though still has to finalize details like rated towing capacity, mileage, trim level and other U.S.-specific details before finalizing the price. But with an idea of what this svelte-looking brute will cost, you can start making arrangements with your banker.
