Mercedes has got a huge portfolio that’s filled with impressive and capable SUVs, sedans, wagons, coupes, roadsters, and EVs. While all of them reek of luxury, the automaker has a performance division, that needs no introduction, that puts some of the chosen ones on steroids and unlocks immense potential. The Mercedes-AMG models are some of the best sport, performance-oriented models that money can buy you today. This isn’t limited to roadsters and sedans, but also the SUVs and crossovers. Here’s a list of all the AMG SUVs and crossovers (and their coupe counterparts) that are currently on sale in 2022.
Mercedes-AMG GLA - $47,950
The entry-level AMG model is fairly well-loaded and is a good way to step into the luxury-performance market without spending big bucks. The Mercedes-AMG GLA is available in two iterations – GLA 35 and GLA 45. This isn’t a full-blown AMG by any means, and it would be a sin to expect the same here. It comes with ‘AMG body styling’, but is still a little too bland on the outside to be called an AMG. The feature list includes things like ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control, AMG performance front seats, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and 10.25-inch touchscreen system, and so on.
Both, the GLA 35 and the GLA 45, are powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. However, they are tuned differently. The GLA 35 makes 302 horses and 295 pound-feet of torque, whereas the GLA 45 puts out 382 ponies and 354 pound-feet of torque. In both cases, the engine is paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox and an all-wheel-drive system. The GLA 35 takes 5.2 seconds to sprint to 60 mph from a standstill, whereas the GLA 45 is 0.8 Seconds quicker (4.4 seconds). The top speed is rated at 155 mph. The 2022 Mercedes-AMG GLA 35 starts at $47,950, whereas the 2022 Mercedes-AMG GLA 35 starts at $55,400.
Mercedes-AMG GLB - $49,950
The AMG GLB is a five-seater as standard, but can be had as a seven-seater as well, thus making it the cheapest, most practical AMG model on sale currently. It looks just about right on the outside and makes for a good urban commuter and highway cruiser, as well as a nice weekend car for those adrenaline-filled drives. The feature list isn’t too different from the GLA and you get the same things around here.
AMG has given the GLB a much-needed power boost. it comes with the same engine and the state of tune as the GLA 35. This is a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder mill that makes 302 horses and 295 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox powers all four wheels. It takes 5.1 seconds to 60 mph from rest and on to a top speed of 155 mph. The 2022 Mercedes-AMG GLB starts at $49,950.
Mercedes-AMG GLC - $66,500
The AMG GLC is available in two body styles – SUV and the sloping roofline coupe. The GLC is where we would say the actual AMG lineup begins. It looks aggressive from all corners, comes with AMG exclusives like 20-inch Y-spoke wheels, features an AMG performance steering wheel, three-zone climate control, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 10.25-inch touchscreen system amongst other things. Both the body styles are offered in 12 exterior shades and a plethora of interior themes, too.
The AMG GLC 43 is powered by a 3.0-liter, bi-turbo V-6 powerhouse that churns out 385 ponies and 384 pound-feet of oomph. A nine-speed automatic routes power to all four wheels here. The AMG GLC is a quick vehicle, taking 4.7 seconds to sprint to 60 mph from rest and going all the way up to 155 mph before hitting the limiter. The GLC coupe also receives the same mechanicals without any difference in power specs or performance figures. The 2022 Mercedes-AMG GLC SUV is priced at $59,900 whereas the 2022 AMG GLC Coupe starts at $66,500.
Mercedes-AMG GLE - $74,150
The AMG GLE lineup offers the highest number of options all things considered. The Mercedes-AMG GLE is offered in two body styles – SUV and Coupe - and both of them come with two models underneath them – 53 and 63 S. The GLE range looks aggressive irrespective of which angle you look at it from. It rides on 21-inch wheels in the top-spec models and can be had with Night packages for a deadlier look. The creature comforts include things like ventilated front seats, a panoramic roof, Nappa leather upholstery, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 12.3-inch touchscreen system wrapped in a single glass, and so on.
Coming to the engines and performance, the GLE 53 is powered by a 3.0-liter, turbocharged inline-six engine with a mild-hybrid setup that makes 429 horses and 384 pound-feet of torque. It is mated to a nine-speed automatic gearbox and the famous 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system. It takes 5.2 seconds to 60 mph from a standstill in the SUV form, and 5.3 seconds in the coupe. The 63 S models are powered by a 4.0-liter, bi-turbo V-8 engine that churns out 603 ponies and 627 pound-feet of torque. Power is routed to all four wheels via a nine-speed automatic gearbox. Both, the GLE 63 S SUV and the GLE 63 S Coupe take 3.7 seconds to sprint to 60 mph from rest. The top speed on all the models is rated at 155 mph as standard.
As for the pricing, here’s how the AMG GLE models are priced:

Mercedes-AMG GLS - $135,400
AMG has taken even the flagship Mercedes SUV under its wings. It comes as a seven-seater as standard, but you can choose to make it a six-seater, too. Up to 23-inch AMG wheels, AMG carbon fiber trim, wood trims inside the cabin, AMG Performance steering wheel in either Nappa leather, microfiber, or carbon fiber, and other such things make the AMG GLS one of a kind. It even comes with five-zone climate control, Nappa leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, front massage seats, and a 12.3-inch pair of digital driver’s display and touchscreen system.
The AMG GLS 63 is powered by the same 4.0-liter, bi-turbo V-8 mill that’s plonked under the hood of the GLE 63 S twins as well. The power output is the same, too – 603 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of twist. It comes with a nine-speed automatic gearbox and a 4AMTIC+ all-wheel-drive system. The GLS takes just 4.1 seconds from 0 to 60 mph and has a top speed of 155 mph. The 2022 Mercedes-AMG GLS starts at $135,400.
Mercedes-AMG G-Class - $156,450
The G-Class in the AMG avatar is called the G63, and it is a legend in its own right. It is offered in 37 different exterior shades, that include exclusive G Manufaktur paints. It is luxurious and sporty in all ways possible, but what makes it even more special is the amount of off-road gear it has. Some of these off-road gears include three lockable differentials, an AMG ride control suspension, and a two-speed transfer case.
The iconic, boxy G-Class also receives the AMG treatment. It comes with the same 4.0-liter, bi-turbo V-8 engine as the GLE 63 S and the GLS 63, but in a different state of tune. The G63 puts out 577 ponies and 627 pound-feet of twist. It is mated to a nine-speed automatic gearbox and a permanent all-wheel-drive system. Despite the severely compromised aerodynamics, the G63 is capable of pushing to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds. The top speed on this luxurious off-roader, however, is limited to 130 mph. The 2021 Mercedes-AMG G63 starts at $156,450.
