With the Mercedes-AMG G63, it doesn’t matter whether you’re racing down the autobahn or crawling over the rocks of Moab at a snail’s pace; everything is easy. Valet parking will also be a breeze since the attendants will leave your vehicle right in front of them. With a 577-horsepower twin-turbo V-8 engine beneath its squared-off bonnet, AMG has upgraded the famous original G-class. There are plenty of modern tech and infotainment options in the G63’s cabin, and the leather-wrapped throne seat provides just the proper amount of support to keep you upright for any of the vehicle’s off-road adventures. For those who can afford it, the Mercedes G63 is a worthwhile investment in terms of ease of living.
In 2021, the Mercedes-Benz G-class will come standard with a wireless smartphone charging pad, and the G manufacturer customization service will be expanded to allow for an even greater degree of customization. Additionally, a new Night Package adds black exterior trim pieces, and a new Night Black Magno spare tire cover is also offered.
Due to its many customization possibilities, the 2021 G63 begins at $160,000, although most cars end up costing more than that. There are 20-inch wheels, variable suspension damping, a front brush guard, and leather upholstery in the Mercedes-G63 AMG’s standard package. There is a restricted set of essential equipment. Nevertheless, We’d go for the Seat Comfort package, which includes multi-contour seats with massaging and ventilation, and the AMG Trail package, which includes tires with the proper tread depth, for off-roading.
Transmission, Engine, and Performance of G63
The Mercedes-AMG G63 will be released in 2021 with a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 engine that generates 577 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. The all-wheel-drive system gets all of that power through a nine-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shifters. Three locking differentials and low-range gearing are standard on the G63, helping it to climb steep dirt terrain with remarkable ease. We measured G63’s zero-to-60 mph acceleration time on our test track at under 3.9 seconds. The G63 also gets AMG-specific suspension tuning in addition to its additional power. However, despite the improved ride quality, you shouldn’t expect many handling skills considering this SUV’s height and off-road purpose. The wind noise is terrible even at high speeds on the highway. When correctly equipped, the G63 can tow up to 6500 pounds.
MPG in the Real World and Fuel Efficiency
A quick, box-shaped SUV can’t be expected to be a savior of the wallet. The 2021 G63 gets 13/15 mpg city/highway according to the EPA. The G63 outperformed its EPA rating in our 75-mpg highway fuel efficiency test by generating a 16-mpg score.
Cargo, Comfort, and the Interior of the Vehicle
With its extreme rectilinearity, the cabin of an earlier G-class may seem familiar. Still, the 12.0-inch digital instrument panel and high-quality materials, as well as conveniences like a cupholder and a surround-view camera system, make this a thoroughly modern place. Front and rear seats are equipped to accommodate taller passengers and drivers. When you’ve got a full-size spare tire on the side-hinged door, it’s going to take some effort to get it open. There is 38 cubic feet of cargo capacity when the rear seats are folded down. When they’re folded (60/40 split), you’ll have roughly 69 cubic feet of storage.
