Luxury car maker Mercedes-Benz on Tuesday launched the GL 63 AMG sports utility vehicle (SUV) in India priced at ₹ 1.66 crore (ex-showroom Mumbai).

This is the fourth model launched by the German car maker in India in 2014, after the new generation S-Class, which was launched in January, followed by the C-Class grand edition and the ML500 Guard edition.
