2019款奔驰G63将亮相3月的日内瓦车展，该车0-96公里/小时加速时间仅需4.4秒，比其前代车型快了近1秒。这款车搭载了一台4.0升V8双涡轮引擎，功率430千瓦/577马力，比老款车功率提升10千瓦/14马力，扭矩850牛米，比老款车增加了100磅-英尺一样，同时新车重量降低了174公斤，因此性能获得提升。与引擎搭配的是AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9速变速箱和AMG Performance 4MATIC四驱系统，后者可将60%动力传递至后轮。而AMG悬挂经过重新调校并标配自适应可调减震，可进一步优化普通道路和越野行驶性能。该悬挂绝大部分设置可通过AMG动态选择功能进行设置，可提供四种不同的选择，而第五种模式可由驾驶员进行优化。在外观上，G63采用了独特的竖条格栅，前脸是标准的AMG风格，进气口略微增大，轮拱也进一步外延以便能容纳22英寸（选装件）的轮圈。改进后的主动排气系统将V8引擎的声浪和废气通过车身左侧的排气尾管传递出来。此外，独特的车标，AMG侧踏板和红色刹车卡钳和高性能刹车盘都显示了车身外装获得了进一步升级。G63将于年底上市，奔驰将在今年晚些时候公布价格。
2019 Mercedes-AMG G63 Packs 577 HP, Goes 0-60 In 4.4 Seconds
It’s barely been a month since we were introduced to the first all-new Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV in many years. Now, we’re ready to embrace the amped-up version from AMG, and as you probably expect, it’s no slouch. Say hello to the 2019 Mercedes-AMG G63, and we’ll just cut right to the good part. This boxy SUV will rip to 60 miles per hour in 4.4 seconds, which is nearly a full second better than its high-performance predecessor.
How does the G63 accomplish such a feat? You’re probably thinking the ample AMG-supplied power boost deserves all the credit, but that’s only part of the story. The familiar 4.0-liter biturbo V8 is retained for the G63, but it’s massaged to belt out 577 horsepower (430 kilowatts). That’s certainly plenty of oomph, but compared to the previous G63 it’s only a 14-hp (10 kW) improvement. Therefore, credit must also be given to the significant weight loss between new and old models – 375 pounds (174 kilograms) to be specific.
You might also notice that the G63’s 577 hp matches that of the AMG GT R. You’re not wrong, but in the SUV this engine generates a monumental 627 pound-feet (850 newton-meters) of twist, which is over 100 more than you’ll find in the GT R and 60 more compared to the previous AMG G63. Add all these factoids up and suddenly you have a boxy G-Class that can outrun many hardcore sport sedans in daily stoplight-to-stoplight battles.
Of course, the new G63 is more than just its engine. Handling the power is an AMG Speedshift TCT nice-speed automatic with a full-manual mode available, shifted via paddle shifters on the AMG-specific sport steering wheel. AMG-tuned 4MATIC all-wheel drive is set up to send 60 percent of the power rearward, while AMG suspension tweaks offer standard-issue adaptive adjustable damping, which can be optimized for on- or off-road performance. Most settings, of course, can be adjusted through the AMG Dynamic Selection functions, which can provide four present options or a fifth option which can be customized by the driver.
Visually, the Mercedes-AMG G63 is easily distinguished by its unique vertical-bar grille. The front fascia is AMG-specific as well with slightly larger intakes, and the wheel arches have a bit more flare to accommodate larger wheel options up to 22 inches in diameter. A revamped active exhaust system sends the V8's song exiting through cool side-exit pipes, with two noise settings available for either a mellow rumble or something a bit louder. Special badging, AMG door sills, and red brake calipers with perforated disc brakes are part of the AMG upgrade as well.
The 2019 Mercedes-AMG G63 will debut at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show in March. Pricing will be revealed later, with models going on sale by the end of the year.
