It cranks out 603 hp and 627 lb.-ft. of torque, which is why this three-row SUV can rocket from 0\u201360 mph in about 4.1 seconds.&nbsp;That\u2019s&nbsp;sports-car territory wrapped in family-size proportions. The \u201chot inside V\u201d turbo layout puts the turbochargers between the cylinder banks, shortening airflow paths and helping the SUV respond quickly when you tap the throttle\u2014like jumping onto the freeway or darting around slow traffic on Bell Road. The Integrated Starter-Generator adds electric torque at low speeds. Think of it as an instant shove that helps you get moving without waiting for the turbos to spool up.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when cruising, AMG\u00ae Cylinder Management shuts down four cylinders to save fuel. You&nbsp;won\u2019t&nbsp;even feel the switch\u2014just notice fewer gas&nbsp;station stops. Dynamic engine mounts use magnetorheological fluid to adapt stiffness on the fly. Push the GLS 63 hard, and the mounts tighten, helping the SUV stay steady. Drive casually around Peoria, and they relax to keep things refined.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Read More &#8211;&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arrowheadmb.com\/blog\/2026-mercedes-benz-amg-cle-53-cabriolet-luxury-features\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>2026 Mercedes-Benz AMG\u00ae CLE 53 Cabriolet: The Luxury Highlights You Need to Know<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>How Are the Driving Dynamics of the 2026 Mercedes-Benz AMG\u00ae GLS 63 SUV?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This SUV is built to handle. AMG\u00ae Performance 4MATIC\u00ae+ sends power where&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;needed, even directing everything to the rear wheels when you want a more playful feel. On winding desert roads, the electronic limited-slip differential helps you carve corners with control. The AMG\u00ae SPEEDSHIFT\u00ae TCT 9G transmission keeps the engine in its sweet spot with sharp, quick shifts\u2014especially when using the paddle shifters in Sport or Sport+ mode. AMG\u00ae DYNAMIC SELECT adds six drive&nbsp;modes, including Trail and Sand, perfect for Arizona backroads. It also offers a customizable Individual mode, allowing you to adjust steering weight, exhaust sound, throttle response, and suspension stiffness. Speaking of suspension, AMG\u00ae RIDE CONTROL+ and Adaptive Damping use air springs and quick-reacting sensors to adjust height and firmness. The SUV can lower itself at highway speeds or lift to tackle deep ruts. AMG\u00ae ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL uses 48-volt-powered actuators to reduce body roll, making this big SUV feel surprisingly composed through turns.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For off-road situations, the OFFROAD menu and Transparent Hood camera view help you \u201csee\u201d obstacles hidden under the front end\u2014great for rocky or uneven surfaces. The Downhill Speed Regulation system&nbsp;maintains&nbsp;a steady crawl between 1\u201311 mph on steep slopes, allowing for smooth braking so you can focus on positioning the vehicle. Braking power comes from a high-performance AMG\u00ae system with big red calipers and hefty rotors to stay consistent during spirited drives. And for an extra punch of personality, the AMG\u00ae Performance Exhaust lets you pick how bold you want the V8 soundtrack to sound. Thanks to a Class IV trailer hitch, the GLS 63 can tow up to&nbsp;7,700 pounds\u2014perfect for pulling a boat to Lake Pleasant, a big camper, or a car hauler.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2025\/12\/10075504\/2026_Mercedes-Benz_AMG_GLS_63_b902_o.jpg\" alt=\"Adaptive Damping System in the 2026 Mercedes-Benz AMG\u00ae GLS 63 SUV\" class=\"wp-image-20402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2025\/12\/10075504\/2026_Mercedes-Benz_AMG_GLS_63_b902_o.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2025\/12\/10075504\/2026_Mercedes-Benz_AMG_GLS_63_b902_o-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2025\/12\/10075500\/2026_Mercedes-Benz_AMG_GLS_63_b901_o.jpg\" alt=\"Trailer Hitch in the 2026 Mercedes-Benz AMG\u00ae GLS 63 SUV\" class=\"wp-image-20401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2025\/12\/10075500\/2026_Mercedes-Benz_AMG_GLS_63_b901_o.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2025\/12\/10075500\/2026_Mercedes-Benz_AMG_GLS_63_b901_o-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Read More &#8211;&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arrowheadmb.com\/blog\/experience-the-power-and-precision-of-the-2026-mercedes-amg-gt-4-door-coupe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>A Thrill in Every Drive: 2026 Mercedes-AMG\u00ae GT 4-Door Coupe Performance Highlights<\/strong><\/a><strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Get the 2026 Mercedes-Benz AMG\u00ae GLS 63 SUV in Peoria, AZ!&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2026 AMG\u00ae GLS 63 is more than a luxury SUV\u2014it\u2019s&nbsp;a powerhouse wrapped in sophistication.
