2024 Mercedes-AMG G63

The 2024 AMG G63 is a carryover model. A refreshed G-class with more aerodynamic styling and new powertrain choices is scheduled for 2025 to herald the arrival of the new EQG G-class EV.

The G63 relies on a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine making 577 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque. A nine-speed automatic funnels torque to the all-wheel-drive system (4Matic in Mercedes marketing lingo) with low range and triple locking differentials (center, front and rear) to ensure maximum grip should the driver put a wheel off-road.

The G63 has a maximum towing capacity of 7000 pounds, and trailer stability assist software is included. Though it’s improbable anyone would utilize a G63 as a primary tow vehicle, the capability is there if you need it.

Although the G-class’s basic square-shouldered profile remains, the interior benefits from the same high-quality materials, and tech and convenience accouterment that dot the Mercedes lineup. There’s leather upholstery, a 12.0-inch digital instrument panel, cupholders and a surround-view camera system. Heated front and rear seats, and leather-bound AMG steering wheel also make the standard list. Taller drivers and passengers will find plenty of head- and legroom in both the front and rear.

Each G63 includes a 12.3-inch infotainment interface with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and navigation as standard equipment. A Burmester surround sound system, three 12-volt power outlets and a household A/C outlet in the cargo area help keep things civil. Also included is a three-year subscription to Mercedes-Benz’s connected car services, which provides basic features such as remote engine start and stolen vehicle tracking. Options include Wi-Fi and a rear entertainment system, which features dual 10.0-inch touchscreens, each of which has its own USB, auxiliary, and HDMI ports.
