About the 2026 Mercedes-Benz AMG G-Class
2nd generation (2019-present), second year after the 2025 mid-cycle refresh
Mercedes-AMG positions the G 63 as the high-performance expression of the G-Class: a handcrafted V8 luxury SUV with unmistakable upright styling and genuine low-range off-road hardware. Its appeal is the unusual combination of explosive acceleration, a leather-lined cabin, permanent AWD, and three locking differentials. Unlike road-focused performance SUVs, it preserves the G-Class's ladder-frame toughness and trail capability while adding AMG sound, speed, and commanding road presence.
The AMG G 63 remains the performance-focused G-Class, pairing a 577-hp twin-turbo V8 with permanent AWD, a two-speed transfer case, and three locking differentials for serious off-road use. It also has a side-exit performance exhaust, dual 12.3-inch displays, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Nappa leather, premium Burmester audio, and a broad set of driver-assistance features.
