2017 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 SUV gallery

The Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 is a rapid SUV with a twin-turbocharged V8 engine

The standard GLC 63 has 469bhp, while the GLC 63 S gets 503bhp

It's capable of getting from 0-62mph in 3.8 seconds - making it faster than a Porsche Macan Turbo

Other rivals include the Audi SQ5, Jaguar F-Pace and Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio

Mercedes is selling vast numbers of SUVs, and the GLC 63 is sure to be particularly desirable

An optional sports exhaust is worth the money, giving the V8 engine its full singing voice

There's plenty of equipment inside, including Nappa leather seats and an intuitive Comand infotainment sytem

Despite its performance credentials, the GLC 63 is just as roomy and practical as the standard model

Body lean is almost non-existent, but firm suspension and huge wheels make for a fidgety ride

Standard 4MATIC four-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox make the GLC 63 easy to drive quickly
