Mercedes Benz-AMG G63

Description

A box-shaped rocket ship, boosted performance doesn’t compromise off-road prowess, a millionaire’s Jeep.

The high-powered G63 is a hugely capable luxury off-roader with compromises that contribute to its character.

This AMG-badged G63 breathes fire in the face of the tamer Mercedes-Benz G-class, which we review separately. A 577-hp twin-turbocharged V-8 gives this Hollywood cowboy quicker acceleration than a Ford Bronco Raptor. Still, its hefty price tag separates the CEOs from the average Joes. A luxury room on 20-inch wheels, the G63’s high-quality cabin materials and techno-fabulous cockpit offer the best of Mercedes’s already impressive swath of modern amenities. An even wilder 4×4² model features a long-travel suspension, heavy-duty portal axles, and more than 13 inches of ground clearance.
