2022 Mercedes-Benz AMG G-Class: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The key change for the 2022 Mercedes-Benz AMG G-Class is the late-year addition of the G 63 AMG 4x4². The regular G 63 carries over without a major lineup-wide update.
About the 2022 Mercedes-Benz AMG G-Class
2nd generation (2019-2024), fourth model year; first year for the G 63 AMG 4x4²
The AMG G-Class combines the G-Wagen’s upright, instantly recognizable body and serious trail hardware with a hand-built V8, sports-car acceleration, and a richly trimmed cabin. Its core appeal is unusual breadth: permanent AWD, low-range gearing, and three locking differentials support difficult terrain, while premium audio, large displays, and leather appointments suit daily luxury use. Few competing performance SUVs match its mix of heritage, visual presence, and genuine off-road hardware.
The regular G 63 blends a handcrafted 577-hp V8 with permanent AWD, low-range gearing, three locking differentials, Nappa leather, and twin 12.3-inch displays. The new G 63 AMG 4x4² takes the same basic formula farther off-road with portal axles and greater ground clearance, while keeping luxury touches such as massaging and ventilated front seats.

Frequently asked questions
What changed on the 2022 Mercedes-Benz AMG G-Class?
The main 2022 change is the addition of the G 63 AMG 4x4². It combines the regular G 63's 577-hp V8 and luxury cabin with portal axles and a taller, wider high-clearance chassis.
Was the Mercedes-AMG G 63 4x4² sold as a 2022 model?
Yes. The G 63 AMG 4x4² joined the U.S. range late in the 2022 model year, even though several reviews presented it to shoppers as a 2023 model.
How does the 2022 G 63 AMG 4x4² differ from the regular G 63?
The 2022 G 63 AMG 4x4² has portal axles, substantially greater obstacle clearance, and a taller, wider chassis. It keeps the regular G 63's 577-hp V8, low-range gearing, three locking differentials, and luxury-focused cabin.
Did the regular 2022 Mercedes-AMG G 63 receive a major update?
No. The regular 2022 G 63 carries over without a significant mechanical, styling, safety, or infotainment update; the year's notable development is the specialized 4x4² joining the range.
Is the 2022 Mercedes-Benz AMG G-Class a new generation?
No. The 2022 AMG G-Class is the fourth model year of the second generation introduced for 2019. Its new 4x4² derivative makes this a trim-change year rather than a full redesign.
