The iconic Mercedes-AMG G 63 continues to push boundaries in the world of performance off-road vehicles, offering unparalleled power, agility, and style. This all-new iteration not only enhances its legendary off-road prowess but also sets new benchmarks for on-road performance, comfort, and cutting-edge technology. From its electrified AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine to the groundbreaking AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension, the latest G 63 reinforces its position as the ultimate performance vehicle in the luxury off-road segment.
Electrified Power: AMG 4.0-Litre V8 Biturbo
At the heart of the new Mercedes-AMG G 63 lies the familiar but now even more potent AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine. Delivering a robust 430 kW and a torque-rich 850 Nm, this powerhouse offers a thrilling driving experience both on and off the beaten path. However, the real innovation comes from the integration of 48-volt technology, combined with an integrated starter-generator (ISG) that provides an additional 15 kW of power and 200 Nm of torque for those moments that demand extra performance.
This electrification ensures the G 63 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds, a feat made possible by the engine’s instantaneous responsiveness. The vehicle reaches a top speed of 220 km/h, with an optional AMG Performance Package pushing the limits even further—achieving a top speed of 240 km/h and cutting the 0-100 km/h time to just 4.3 seconds. Whether navigating city streets or tackling challenging terrains, the G 63 offers an exhilarating driving experience like no other.
AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL: Unmatched Handling and Comfort
The all-new Mercedes-AMG G 63 introduces the innovative AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension, a sophisticated system that blends dynamic handling with supreme comfort. Available as an option or as part of the AMG Offroad Package PRO, this system features active, hydraulic roll stabilisation that replaces conventional mechanical torsion-bar transverse stabilisers. The result is reduced body roll, improved ride comfort, and greater handling precision.
The suspension is adaptive and continuously adjusts to the driving conditions, providing a smooth and comfortable ride even on rough terrains. When cornering, the system uses hydraulic elements to minimize body roll, enhancing camber stiffness and providing exceptional steering precision. Off-road, the system excels by maintaining optimal axle articulation, ensuring that the G 63’s wheels stay in contact with the ground for maximum traction and stability.
Advanced Off-Road Modes: Enhanced Traction and Capability
For those who venture off the beaten path, the G 63 offers two additional off-road driving modes when equipped with the AMG Offroad Package PRO. “AMG Traction PRO” optimises wheel torque control to deliver maximum traction on challenging surfaces such as rock and sand. Meanwhile, “AMG Active Balance Control” adjusts the roll stiffness of the vehicle depending on the road surface and terrain, providing improved ground contact, body control, and off-road traction.
The result is a vehicle that effortlessly transitions between smooth tarmac and rugged trails, offering the perfect balance of agility, power, and off-road comfort. Whether it’s scaling rocks, carving through sand dunes, or navigating muddy trails, the G 63 is designed to conquer it all.
AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G Transmission: Lightning-Fast Shifting
Powering the Mercedes-AMG G 63 is the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission, a 9-speed torque converter transmission that delivers lightning-fast shifts and unparalleled driving dynamics. This system offers a range of driving characteristics, from seamless, comfortable gear changes to quick, sporty shifts that enhance driving excitement. The transmission ensures the engine stays in its optimum power band, delivering smooth acceleration and exceptional performance whether on the road or off-road.
In addition, the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission is paired with AMG DYNAMIC SELECT, which allows drivers to tailor the driving experience to their preferences. With five on-road driving programmes—Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport+, and Individual—and three off-road modes—Sand, Trail, and Rock—the G 63 adapts to any environment, ensuring an exceptional driving experience at all times.
Distinctive Design: The Perfect Fusion of Luxury and Performance
From the moment you lay eyes on the all-new Mercedes-AMG G 63, it’s clear that this is a vehicle built to perform and impress. The exterior is defined by a bold AMG-specific front bumper with vertical louvres, aggressive stainless-steel inserts, and adaptive MULTIBEAM LED headlights. A striking new exterior colour, MANUFAKTUR hyper blue magno, is available exclusively for the G 63, further accentuating its performance-oriented aesthetic.
The vehicle also features new 20-inch AMG alloy wheels, silver-painted brake callipers, and a carbon fibre exterior package that highlights its performance credentials. The carbon fibre finish on the spare wheel cover, bumper inserts, and visual underride guards is a nod to the G 63’s racing heritage and unmistakable luxury. Inside, the cabin is adorned with AMG Performance touches, including a three-twin-spoke nappa leather steering wheel, AMG logos, and high-quality trim elements in black piano lacquer.
Luxurious Interior with the “Supersport” Mode
Step inside the G 63, and you’re greeted by a luxurious, driver-focused interior designed for both comfort and performance. The “Supersport” mode on the driver’s display adds a dynamic touch, featuring a central tachometer with an eye-catching 3D perspective, complemented by real-time AMG-specific driving information, such as telemetry data and driving modes.
For those who demand the utmost in luxury, the SUPERIOR Line Interior offers an elevated cabin experience, with additional nappa leather trim, diamond-pattern elements, and multi-contour active seats with massage and climate control functions.
