The performance and sports car brand now occupies a unique position in the competition again as it presents its new mid-size performance SUV at the NYIAS 2017, the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 4MATIC+ SUV and Coupé plus the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S 4MATIC+ SUV and Coupé. For the first time, a mid-size SUV is now also available with the powerful 8-cylinder biturbo in two output variants. The basis for this is provided by the AMG 4.0‑litre V8 engine with 476 horsepower (350 kW) or 510 HP (375 kW) in the GLC 63 S and GLC 63 S Coupé variants. Acceleration from 0‑100 km/h (62mph) in just 3.8 seconds also impressively demonstrates: the new SUVs hold a special position in their market segment. The Performance SUVs also feature air spring suspension with adaptive adjustable damping, AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive with fully variable torque distribution, a rear-axle limited-slip differential and a high-performance braking system. As a visual indication of their links with Mercedes-AMG sports cars, the new models sport the AMG Panamericana grille, which was previously reserved for the AMG GT family. In addition, the new models offer all the advantages of a Mercedes-SUV: ample room for passengers and luggage, comprehensive array of safety equipment and superior traction, also in the wet or in wintry road conditions.

The new mid-size Performance SUVs celebrate their world premiere in April 2017. Start of sales is on 16 June 2017, while the market launch begins in September 2017.
