10 Things to Know About the Redesigned 2025 Mercedes-AMG G 63
February 26 2025,
The legendary G-Class enters a new era with the redesigned 2025 Mercedes-AMG G 63. This iconic performance off-roader offers an enhanced driving experience both on pavement and rugged terrain, thanks to significant powertrain upgrades and suspension innovations. Now available at Canadian dealerships, the new G 63 maintains its unmistakable boxy silhouette while incorporating exclusive design elements that distinguish it as the flagship AMG model.
At its core, the 2025 G 63 features electrification technology that boosts performance while improving efficiency. The handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 biturbo engine now works alongside a 48-volt electrical system and integrated starter generator, creating a powertrain that delivers exceptional response in any driving situation.
1- Electrified Powerhouse Performance
The handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 biturbo engine produces 577 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque, with additional support from the integrated starter generator that adds 20 hp and 148 lb-ft at lower engine speeds. This impressive powertrain launches the G 63 from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds, despite the vehicle's substantial 2,640 kg curb weight. The top speed is electronically limited to 220 km/h, giving you thrilling acceleration while maintaining control.
2- Revolutionary Suspension Options
The optional AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension replaces traditional mechanical anti-roll bars with active hydraulic elements. This system dramatically reduces body roll during cornering while maintaining excellent wheel articulation off-road. The adaptive shock absorbers connect all four wheels hydraulically, allowing for precise control of body movements and improved traction on challenging surfaces. You'll feel greater precision on winding roads and enhanced comfort over obstacles.
3- Enhanced Off-Road Capability
With the AMG Offroad Package PRO, two additional driving modes maximize the G 63's capability beyond pavement. The "AMG Traction PRO" mode delivers maximum grip through wheel-selective braking and adjustable differential lock settings, while "AMG Active Balance Control" lets you select from three different roll stiffness settings based on terrain. The standard LOW RANGE reduction gear ensures you have optimal torque for climbing steep inclines.
4- Refined Transmission Technology
The AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission provides lightning-quick gear changes with nine speeds to keep the engine in its optimal power range. Multiple driving modes adjust shift characteristics from seamlessly smooth to aggressively sporty, giving you full control over the G 63's personality. The transmission's double-declutching function adds an emotional aspect to downshifts that enhances the driving experience.
5- Distinctive AMG Design Elements
Visual upgrades set the G 63 apart from standard G-Class models with an AMG-specific front bumper featuring three vertical louvers and stainless-steel inserts. The exclusive MANUFAKTUR Hyper Blue Magno paint option is available only for the G 63, while AMG crests on the hood and mirror projections reinforce its special status. Silver-painted brake calipers and five-twin-spoke 20-inch wheels complete the performance-oriented aesthetic.
6- Innovative Lighting Technology
Standard adaptive MULTIBEAM LED headlights utilize 84 individually controllable LEDs to illuminate the road based on driving conditions. This system automatically adjusts the light pattern for optimal visibility without blinding oncoming traffic. LED taillights provide bright, quick-responding illumination that enhances safety and adds to the distinctive look of the G 63's rear profile.
7- Personalization Options
Six different wheel designs ranging from 20 to 22 inches are available in up to three different finishes, allowing you to customize the G 63's stance. The optional AMG Exterior Carbon Fibre Package adds carbon fiber elements to the spare wheel cover, bumpers, and underride guards, along with darkened headlight housings and indicators for a more aggressive appearance.
8- Driver-Focused Interior
Inside, an AMG Performance steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather features seamlessly integrated capacitive controls and AMG DRIVE UNIT buttons with brilliant displays. These controls give you instant access to driving functions and drive programs without removing your hands from the wheel. AMG logos throughout the cabin—on the steering wheel, central display, door sill panels, floor mats and seat backrests—reinforce the G 63's performance pedigree.
9- Intelligent Drive System Control
Five on-road AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs—"Slippery," "Comfort," "Sport," "Sport+" and "Individual"—adjust engine response, transmission behavior, suspension, and steering. Three additional off-road drive programs—"Sand," "Trail" and "Rock"—optimize the vehicle's systems for specific terrain types. These customization options allow you to tailor the G 63's character to suit any driving situation.
10- Practical Capability
Despite its performance focus, the G 63 remains highly practical with 640 litres of cargo space, a 3,500 kg towing capacity, and a 560 kg payload rating. The 100-litre fuel tank provides extensive range between fill-ups, making the G 63 as suitable for long journeys as it is for short bursts of exhilarating performance.
