Mercedes-Benz India has launched its G63 AMG in the country at Rs 1.45 crore (ex-showroom Mumbai), replacing the G55 AMG that was launched two years ago.
The sports utility vehicle (SUV) was first showcased at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show.
“The G-Class has the essential attributes of a Mercedes-Benz: dynamism, comfort, safety and status. Yet its pedigree and classic form has been retained across the 34 years of its existence. The G-Class retains its shape, rugged design and the same mission to cope with extreme conditions,” Mercedes-Benz India Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer Eberhard Kern said.
With luxurious interiors, discreet modifications in design and styling, enhanced safety features, a new infotainment system, the vehicle comes with a 5.5-litre supercharged AMG engine.
The G63 AMG SUV is a high-performance off-roader and is imported from Germany to India as a completely built unit.
The G-Class stars in the sequel A Good Day to Die Hard featuring Bruce Willis as the iconoclastic cop John McClane.
In a first of its kind engagement, the launch of the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG in India is also the platform to announce the premiere of the much awaited movie, A Good Day to Die Hard . The star-studded cast include Jai Courtney and Sebastian Koch. Released across Indian theatres this movie is being translated across 5 Indian languages.
