Having debuted the updated G-Class globally in March 2024, Mercedes-Benz has now added the facelifted AMG G 63 SUV to its Indian lineup, priced at Rs 3.60 crore (ex-showroom) before any options. This new G 63 features subtle cosmetic enhancements compared to its predecessor and comes with several new features. Notably, its price is lower than the final edition of the outgoing model, the G 63 Grand Edition, which was priced at Rs 4 crore .
Exterior and Performance
The 2025 G 63 showcases minor exterior updates, including modifications to the grille, updated bumpers, and new wheel designs. Significant changes occur beneath the surface, where the familiar 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine is now integrated with a 48V mild-hybrid system. The power output remains at 577 bhp and 850 Nm, with the hybrid system providing an extra 20 bhp during hard acceleration. Mercedes claims a swift 0-100 km/h time of just 4.3 seconds, while the top speed is electronically limited to 240 km/h.
Suspension and Features
The suspension system has been upgraded with new adaptive dampers and a hydraulics-based roll stabilization system to enhance ride quality. For the first time, the G 63 is equipped with a ‘Race Start’ function, enabling launch control. Additionally, it features the latest MBUX infotainment system, highlighted by a new 12.3-inch central touchscreen—an industry first for the G 63. The updated graphics include a redesigned off-road control unit, providing drivers with essential information for off-road adventures. This unit also introduces a transparent hood function, utilizing an underbody camera to help drivers visualize terrain and obstacles hidden under the SUV’s bonnet. Other amenities include Mercedes’ new Augmented Reality Navigation system, a 760 W Burmester 3D sound system, customizable ambient lighting, and 360-degree cameras.
