The Mercedes-AMG G 63, affectionately known as the G-Wagon, is one of the most iconic SUVs in the world. With its signature boxy design that has barely changed since its debut, the G-Class is more than just an off-road vehicle — it’s a symbol of status, power, and exclusivity.
Its dimensions are bold, measuring 4,764 mm in length, 1,867 mm in width, and 1,954 mm in height, backed by a generous 241 mm ground clearance that makes it capable across a wide range of terrain. Its distinctive boxy silhouette sets it apart from other luxury SUVs — the G-Class still looks like a military vehicle that’s been transformed into a top-tier luxury machine.

At the heart of the G 63 is an AMG 4.0L V8 Bi-Turbo engine (M177), which in the latest generation is paired with a 48V mild hybrid system. General specifications:
