This means the transmission, engine, anti-lock brakes, and traction control all act differently for better use in an off-road setting. The luxury sedan can even adjust its clearance from the ground to better navigate large rocks or steep inclines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arrowheadmb.com\/clp-2016-mercedes-benz-gle-class-phoenix-az\">2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE Features<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>GL63 AMG<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_16027\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16027\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-16027 size-full\" style=\"max-width: 100%; padding: 5px; float: right;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2015\/08\/17095847\/Customer-talking-to-a-salesman-fg-B_b.png\" alt=\"Customer talking to a salesperson\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2015\/08\/17095847\/Customer-talking-to-a-salesman-fg-B_b.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2015\/08\/17095847\/Customer-talking-to-a-salesman-fg-B_b-300x195.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-16027\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Customer talking to a salesperson<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Another highlight of the GL-Class that people overlook is the GL63 AMG.
