Mercedes-AMG’s 4-Matic all-wheel-drive technology routes power to all four wheels. Mercedes-AMG claims that the GLC63 S can accelerate from 0-60 in just 3.6 seconds.

Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrafoligio combines the excitement of an Italian supercar with the practicality of an SUV. The twin-turbo, 2.9-liter V6 engine produces 505 horsepower.
