In 1972, Mercedes-Benz was churning out two-door coupes, four-door sedans, and Pullman limousines. Apart from its Unimog utility vehicle, a purpose-built 4x4 wasn’t anywhere on the company’s radar. Then Mohammad Reza, the Shah of Iran, placed a call to MB’s headquarters.
Reza was keen on buying a German-built off-roader - trouble was, such a thing didn’t exist. To make the Shah’s vision a reality, Mercedes-Benz recruited Austrian military vehicle manufacturer, Steyr-Daimler-Puch to do the development work. Over the next seven years, the ‘G-Model’ took shape. Finally, in 1979, the hand-built 4x4 entered production.
Each year, the G-Model (known later as the G-Wagon) became more refined, but also more capable. Leather, wood-grain trim, and air conditioning were juxtaposed with three locking differentials, short overhangs, and torquey powertrains. Soon after the G-Wagon changed its name to G-Class, it became a status symbol.
Today, the G-Class - especially the G63 - spends little time off paved roads, but remains a rugged, capable SUV. Following its 2019 redesign, the G63 carries over with only mild tweaks for the 2021 model year (and won't be produced at all for 2022).
The G63 brings a 4.0-liter bi-turbo V8, iconic styling, and sumptuous amenities to the battle for superfluous automotive spending (where the BMW X5 M Competition, Land Rover Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic, and Lamborghini Urus await). Which six-figure statement piece is best? Find out in this in-depth review.

I drove one of these a few weeks ago because my friends parents own a MB dealership and my friend surprised me picking me up in a brand new G63 in gorgeous dakota brown matte paint. These things truly make you feel like youre the king of the road

[@seeno1]

Subscribed. I think what would take this channel to the next level, alittle more performance driving. Maybe some twisty roads. You don’t have to dedicate a ton of time, but maybe 1-2 min. The freeway pulls I’ve seen are nice, but aren’t quite enough. Make those in addition to ( maybe on both these and the no talk). I can tell you’re a perfectionist and that you notice very minute details. You remind me exactly like my brother. Everything else is stellar 😄

[@bamaboy2814]

Very interesting car and very good review. The ride and maintenance on the older vehicles was awful. I hear people talk about the new steering and ride quality, however, no one can give me a relevant compassion in ride quality. I have owned S Class, E Class, M Class, GL Class, etc.... is the ride quality, comfort and space on par with any of these vehicles?

[@MilesPerHr]

It's going to be a firmer ride with its body-on-frame architecture.

[@marshal_2023]

That bermuster speaker on the trunk or back of the car are extra option and it’s not in every G63

[@MilesPerHr]

It was listed as a standard feature on the spec sheet they gave me.

[@snipesnipe3682]

By definition, necessity in a car would be wheels, a motor, and a seat. The G63 is so beyond what's "needed," and yet that's what makes it so special

[@MilesPerHr]

Yes, but It isn't currently in production.

[@tashingadekune9141]

Why aren’t they making a G wagon 2022 model ?

[@MilesPerHr]

Because AMG isn't producing a V8 for the 2022 model year (in any car), and since the G550 and G63 are exclusively V8 powered, they won't be sold.

Your comment screams “I have no class!”

[@nosaoyemade9618]

@@badgerman2414 not driving or not liking the G wagon does not equate to not having class. You don’t even know me, I just made a comment about a car and nit about a person. People like you want to impress others and get what they cannot afford and gave their cars repossessed. We put four children through private schools and colleges and paid out of pocket and they are top universities, I g he Ave driven the LX 470, the GS 430 the ML500 and now the kids have grown and gave their own homes without anyone co-signing for them. So if you call me classless, so be it. Let’s see what you have accomplished in life other than been unwise. There are very wealthy people who don’t care to spend their money on expensive cars but you can’t even afford to rent in their neighborhoods. Do not do something to impress others, be smart, young man.
