The 5,093-lb Mercedes-Benz ML63 gets 11 mpg in the city.
Although both these chiseled SUVs from Stuttgart get an estimated 11/15 mpg city/highway, they are vastly different machines. As the name suggests, this uber-ML has a 6.3-liter V8, 503-hp engine tuned by Mercedes' AMG magicians. While it can comfortably coddle a family of four, that's not really the point. Instead, this mean-looking variant of the otherwise tame ML is meant to take on BMW's potent X5 M and the spiciest of Porsche's Cayenne variants. Keeping that sort of company isn't something that comes cheap, whether at the dealer or at the pump. The same goes for the G 550, although its image is less boy-racer and more urban assault vehicle stuffed with a 5.5-liter V8. Sharing the same numerals as Gulfstream's $60 million super-jet, Mercedes' four-wheeled so-called Gelandewagen has roots in military service, to which its still-boxy looks and spartan (if leather-draped) interior pay tribute. If you ever think you'll need to battle not just the morning commute but also desert warlords, this is your vehicle of choice.
