2019 Mercedes-AMG G63 Gallery

The legendary G-Class gets even more impressive, in the shape of this, the 2019 Mercedes-AMG G63. The engineers in the German automaker’s performance division take the G-Wagon and throw a custom 4.0-liter biturbo V8 under the hood, tuned for 577 HP and 627 lb-ft. of torque. The result is a truck that does 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds, a full 0.9 seconds faster than its 5.5-liter predecessor.

Meanwhile the AMG team has also reworked the 4MATIC all-wheel drive, with a typical 40:60 front to rear power distribution. You get the same on- and off-road settings as the regular G-Class, but an update to the nine-speed transmission with support for double-declutching and a manual mode. Paddle shifters on the performance steering wheel allow you to take control there.

Outside, there’s a striking body kit and a very appealing AMG Night package. Inside, the same tech as we’ve seen gracing the latest S-Class and E-Class brings the 2019 G63’s dashboard bang up to date. Pricing will be confirmed closer to the luxe truck’s US arrival later in 2018.
