Power Meets Purpose

Under the hood, the 2025 AMG G 63 still roars with 577 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque, launching this 5,800-pound fortress from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds. Hybrid assist adds smoother restarts, low-speed boost, and a touch of efficiency, though fuel economy remains an honest 14–16 mpg. Towing capacity sits at 7,000 pounds, and yes the trio of locking differentials, ladder frame, and two-speed transfer case are still there. That’s not marketing fluff. That’s real hardware.

Why It Stands Apart

Most luxury SUVs today lean into aerodynamics and silence. Not the G 63. This one growls. Its turning circle is still truck-like, and the doors close with that famous bank-vault clunk. But for 2025, ride comfort improves thanks to AMG Ride Control and optional AMG Active Ride Control. Inside, you’ll find tank-like ergonomics paired with modern upgrades: a Surround View camera with Transparent Hood, advanced driver assistance, and Mercedes’ latest infotainment system. It’s old-school toughness dressed in modern luxury.

The Rivals It Doesn’t Fear

Range Rover pampers. Lamborghini Urus thrills. Aston Martin DBX courts exclusivity. But the G 63 remains unapologetically itself rugged yet polished, purposeful yet extravagant. Its $186,100 starting price puts it on par with rivals, but customization is where things climb quickly. Forged wheels, bespoke MANUFAKTUR paints, and extended leather interiors often push transactions well over $200,000. And still, waitlists remain.

Who Should Buy It?

The G 63 is for those who want presence with substance. It’s at home on a ranch, in a city garage, or outside a five-star hotel. Families benefit from its roomy back seat, flat load floor, and winter-proof drivetrain. But if you crave whisper-quiet efficiency, Tesla’s electric G 580 or a Range Rover may suit you better. This is not the SUV for blending in. It’s the SUV for making a statement.

The Bigger Picture

Mercedes is walking a fine line: modernize without diluting what makes the G-Wagon special. Hybrid assist proves the point added efficiency, no loss of soul. Even a 2025 recall for certain G models over an electronic stability program lamp hasn’t dampened demand. Resale values remain strong, and the G 63’s design refuses to chase trends. In a world of rounded edges and wind-tunnel clones, the G-Wagon stays defiantly square. And that’s exactly why people love it.
