2025 Mercedes-AMG G63: The Icon, Supercharged

The Mercedes-AMG G63 isn’t just a vehicle—it’s an icon. Revered for its unmistakable boxy silhouette and brute V8 power, the G63 continues to represent the ultimate blend of military-grade toughness and high-end luxury. For 2025, Mercedes keeps the tradition alive with subtle design tweaks, advanced tech, and enhancements that keep this legend on top of the ultra-luxury off-road world.

What’s New for 2025?

The 2025 Mercedes-AMG G63 receives a light facelift, with key upgrades focusing on efficiency, technology, and comfort:

• Mild hybrid V8 with EQ Boost for better efficiency and instant torque
• Updated MBUX infotainment system with dual 12.3-inch displays under one curved glass
• New active suspension tuning for improved ride comfort
• Subtle exterior updates including reshaped bumpers, LED matrix headlights, and wheel options
• Introduction of AMG Performance Package+ for even sharper dynamics

Performance: Thunder with a Touch of Hybrid

Under the hood, the 2025 AMG G63 still houses the beastly 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8. However, it now benefits from a 48-volt mild-hybrid system that adds a brief boost of 21 horsepower and smoothens power delivery.

• Total Output: 585 horsepower
• Torque: 627 lb-ft
• 0–60 mph: 4.3 seconds
• Top Speed: 149 mph (electronically limited)
• Transmission: AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9-speed automatic
• Drivetrain: Full-time AWD with locking differentials and low-range gearbox

Despite its tall, boxy profile and 5,800+ lb curb weight, the G63 still hauls like a sports car, with a glorious V8 soundtrack to match. The new mild-hybrid system improves stop/start smoothness and slightly boosts efficiency to an estimated 14 mpg city / 17 mpg highway.

Off-Road Chops with Urban Swagger

While most G63s will live in the city, this AMG SUV hasn’t forgotten its rugged roots. It features three 100% locking differentials, a low-range gear set, and adaptive AMG Ride Control+ suspension with adjustable damping.

New for 2025 is “AMG Active Balance Control,” which electronically adjusts roll stiffness for better stability both off-road and at speed on twisty mountain roads.

Ground clearance is nearly 9.5 inches, and the G63 offers approach and departure angles that would make many trail SUVs blush. Still, it’s just as happy gliding up Rodeo Drive as it is climbing dunes in Dubai.

Interior: Craftsmanship Meets Command Center

Step inside the 2025 G63 and you’re surrounded by luxury materials and cutting-edge tech. Mercedes blends classic switchgear—like the solid “click” of the locking diff buttons—with sleek ambient lighting and a twin-display layout under a single glass housing.

• 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster
• 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment (MBUX) with “Hey Mercedes” voice control
• Burmester 3D Surround Sound System
• Nappa leather upholstery with contrast stitching
• Carbon fiber or wood trim options
• Massage front seats, heated/ventilated front and rear seats

The cabin is roomier than ever, with an upright windshield offering commanding visibility. The driving position is king-like, and the optional AMG Performance steering wheel comes trimmed in Alcantara with drive mode toggles.

Tech & Infotainment

The 2025 G63 features the latest MBUX infotainment system, now with:

• Wireless Apple CarPlay / Android Auto
• Over-the-air updates (OTA)
• Augmented reality navigation
• Head-up display with AMG-specific graphics
• Interior camera with gesture control & driver monitoring

You can also connect your phone via the Mercedes Me Connect app to precondition the cabin, track location, or schedule maintenance from anywhere.

Safety and Driver Assistance

The G63 is loaded with the latest active safety and semi-autonomous driving features, including:

• Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC (adaptive cruise control)
• Active Steering Assist
• Active Brake Assist with pedestrian detection
• Blind Spot Assist with Exit Warning
• Traffic Sign Assist
• Surround-view camera system
• Rear cross-traffic alert

These systems are more seamless and refined for 2025, helping the G63 feel easier to drive despite its imposing size.

Exterior Design and Customization

Visually, the 2025 G63 doesn’t stray far from tradition—and that’s a good thing. It remains iconic with its upright profile, exposed hinges, and side-mounted spare tire. But there are new design details:

• Updated LED headlight signature
• Restyled bumpers for better airflow
• New AMG-specific grille design
• Expanded Manufaktur paint palette including matte and metallic finishes
• Wheel choices from 20” to 22” AMG forged alloys

Optional Night and Carbon packages allow you to personalize the G63 even further, turning up the menace or the class depending on your taste.

Pricing

The 2025 Mercedes-AMG G63 starts at an estimated $182,000, but most models will be optioned well past the $200,000 mark with packages like:

• AMG Performance Package+: $7,500
• Manufaktur Signature Interior: $5,900
• Night Package II: $3,000
• 22” Forged Wheels: $2,400
• Carbon Fiber Interior Trim: $1,500

Fully loaded G63s can easily reach $225,000–$230,000.

Specifications Summary

Verdict: The G-Wagen Refined, Not Redefined

The 2025 Mercedes-AMG G63 is exactly what it should be: an ultra-luxury SUV with genuine off-road DNA, unmatched street presence, and performance that would embarrass some sports cars. With its refined tech, added efficiency, and optional customization, it’s more desirable than ever.

It’s not practical. It’s not cheap. But for those who want to command the road—or the trail—with style and attitude, nothing else compares.
