The 2009 Mercedes Benz ML 63 AMG may be a heavy family SUV, but its unexpected levels of aggressive acceleration and handling are attributes that even the wildest driving enthusiast can welcome.

The exterior styling is gorgeous. You’ve got to love the huge presence the Mercedes Benz ML 63 AMG has on the road. The nods of approval are plenty, so you better ready yourself for catching the attention of passers-by. Massive quad exhausts, massive tyres, strikingly good looking alloys, a purposeful chunky nose and swooping lines make the Mercedes Benz ML 63 AMG truly stand out from other road goers. The deep front spoiler and sporty rear spoiler, widened wheel arches, and imposing 19-inch wheels create a fiend of an SUV.

You’ll travel in style as well as premium safety. Antilock disc brakes are standard on the Mercedes Benz ML 63 AMG, as are front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. Stability control is standard as well, and the system features a rollover sensor. Active bi-xenon headlights, and front and rear park assist are standard. Alongside the dynamic handling systems and the safety features such as airbags and restraint systems, the unitised body further enhances the safety of the M-Class. The high-strength passenger cell is also protected by the energy-absorbing front and rear structures. The Mercedes Benz ML 63 AMG keeps you on the right track: the standard-fit ESP/4ETS dynamic handling control system helps you snugly on the road, and on the rugged off-the-road terrain. The onboard electronics intervene in potentially critical situations.

On the road, the Mercedes Benz ML 63 AMG mesmerises the occupants with a huge amount of talent. This is a muscle car as quick as any current 4×4 in a straight line – Porsche Cayenne Turbo S included. It’s under the bonnet that the new naturally aspirated 6.3 litre V8 excites. The engine provides breathtaking performance with an output of 375 kW and a peak torque of 630 Nm. The two tonne mass accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just five seconds and will flash through to an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h.

The inside of the big Merc is totally and lavishly equipped. Front and rear fog lamps, heated side mirrors, cruise control, electric front seats with power lumbar, a leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, leather upholstery, a trip computer, a refrigerated glove compartment and a powerful stereo with a CD/MP3 player and steering-wheel audio controls. Satellite navigation, and Blue tooth communications as well as keyless ignition and entry, and voice-recognition capability are just some of the goodies on offer. Fit and finish inside the Mercedes Benz ML 63 AMG, especially with the optional wood or metallic accent packages, is excellent.

For a big off roading SUV that offers swift acceleration from nearly any speed, is totally controlled in the handling department and always impresses with its premium luxury and safety features, you can’t overlook the Mercedes Benz ML 63 AMG. It’s a pearler.
