Overview
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 4x4² model features a long-travel suspension, heavy-duty portal axles, and more than 13 inches of ground clearance.
Mercedes doesn't change the formula by much for the 2023 G63. A new G manufaktur Logo package is now available as well as two new exclusive paint colors for the G63 4x4 Squared: Copper Orange Magno and Brilliant Blue Magno. The G63 4x4² can also be optioned with a Cherry Wood floor luggage compartment, which is something new for 2023.
Pricing and Which One to Buy

G63 4x4 $350,150
0$250k$500k$750k
Although the G63 starts at around $180,000, most go for considerably higher than that due to their myriad customization options. The standard equipment list is quite livable, however, since every Mercedes-AMG G63 comes with 20-inch wheels, adaptive dampers, a front brush guard, leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, and three-zone climate control. We would option our G63 with the Seat Comfort package (to get the multi-contour seats with ventilation and massage) and the AMG Trail package to unlock the proper tires for off-roading.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Regular G63s come with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine that makes 577 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque. A nine-speed automatic gearbox with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters sends that power to the all-wheel-drive system (4Matic in Mercedes marketing lingo). Low-range gearing (2.93:1 reduction) is standard, as are three locking differentials, allowing the G63 to scale steep dirt grades with ridiculous ease. At our test track, the nearly 5800-pound G63 rocketed to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds. Along with its extra power, the G63 has AMG-specific suspension tuning. Ride comfort is vastly improved versus older the G-wagen, but given this SUV's towering height and off-road mission, you shouldn't expect much in the way of handling ability. And there's still quite a bit of wind noise at highway speeds.
