1. G-Class AMG® G 65

Starting off our list of the best Mercedes-Benz SUV models is the G-Class AMG® G 65. G-Class models are built to be one of the luxury brand’s top all-terrain SUVs. The tough yet elegant design of the AMG® G 65 makes off-road adventures look easy. It features three lockable differentials to balance traction and torque for a variety of off-road challenges. The V12 AMG® engine makes it one of the most powerful Mercedes-Benz SUV models with its whopping 621 horsepower. See what sets it apart from other luxury SUVs today.

2. GLA 250 4MATIC®

This luxury model is best known for its safety, convenience, and AWD system. The 4MATIC® all-wheel drive automatically detects slick conditions and redirects power to whichever wheels need it most for extra stability. Radar helps detect hazards and starts braking if the car in front of you stops suddenly.

Another feature that makes this one of the best Mercedes-Benz SUVs is that you can buy hands-free access to the trunk. Just a gentle ‘kick’ under the bumper opens up the spacious trunk and cargo space.

3. GLC 300 4MATIC®

If you’re looking for a more compact Mercedes-Benz SUV, the GLC may be just what you’re looking for! This slimmer SUV is designed for maximum comfort and interior luxuries that may include heated seats, rear-door sunshades, a panorama roof, and even ionizer-purified, fragrance-infused air. High-tech assistance helps you perform tasks like cruising, changing lanes, and parking with ease. This model is lightweight, nimble, and fuel-efficient without sacrificing off-road performance.

4. AMG® GLC 43 Coupe

AMG® engines were originally built for race cars. Now, they’re available for fast and powerful cars on everyday Shavano Park roads. This smaller and sleeker SUV feels more like a race car than a bulkier model. Its nine speeds and 9G-TRONIC® transmission provide flexibility and power to quickly change speed. It even accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in only 4.8 seconds!

This car slows down just as well as it speeds up. Its brakes are large and cast with their perforations in place (rather than drilled in later) for increased precision and power. See how this Mercedes-Benz SUV performs on the open roads by setting up a test drive.

5. AMG® GLS 6S3

Looking for the best Mercedes-Benz SUV that’s also family oriented? This seven-passenger vehicle features excellent entertainment like two screens and two DVD players so your second-row passengers can enjoy entertainment together or separately. Its systems help its heavier frame as a full-size vehicle to maneuver around corners safely and easily. Its LED headlights, taillights, and daytime running lights are brighter, longer-lasting, and more efficient than average car lights.

Mercedes 26. GLE 550e 4MATIC® Plug-In Hybrid

What if you want an eco-friendly Mercedes-Benz SUV? With its reliable MPGe ratings and low emissions, this model helps the environmentally conscious protect the planet and their gas money.

If you’re shopping for state-of-the-art pre-owned Mercedes-Benz SUV models, consider the GLK 250 BlueTEC® 4MATIC®.
