2015 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G 63 AMG®

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G 63 AMG 4MATIC is what happens when brute force meets pure class. Its an old-school military tank dressed in a designer tuxedo, powered by a 5.5-liter BiTurbo V8 that cranks out 536 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque. Thats enough grunt to launch this big, boxy beast from 0 to 60 in around 5 seconds, which feels even faster when youre sitting in a cabin wrapped in quilted leather and carbon fiber.

This isnt your average SUVits a statement. The G 63 keeps the iconic look of the original G-Wagen, complete with flat body panels, exposed door hinges, and a vertical windshield, but with AMG flavor dialed to 11. When you fire it up, the exhaust note isnt just loudits theatrical. It growls, crackles, and pops like its trying to scare lesser cars out of your way.

Despite its off-road roots and boxy shape, the ride is surprisingly refined on pavement, and the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system means it can still handle snow, mud, or a mountain pass without breaking a sweat. Inside, it's all luxury: heated and ventilated seats, a premium sound system, and tech that was cutting-edge in 2015. Its got space for five, and enough cargo room to haul everything youd need for a weekend at a ski resortor a spontaneous desert escape.

Bottom line? The 2015 G 63 AMG is loud, fast, luxurious, and unapologetically bold. It's not trying to blend in, and it definitely doesn't care about fuel economy-this is a rolling fortress with flair.
Reviews:
* Strong V8 engines; go-anywhere capability; unmatched presence; luxuriously appointed cabin. Source: Edmunds
* The G-Class keeps elevating the pinnacle of refinement. From its advanced lighting to its classic upright shape, its purposeful elegance is both unmistakable and irrefutable. Its sturdy ladder frame and galvanized steel body are hand-welded. The frame is flowed with hot wax to resist corrosion. Even with its dramatically fresh design, ergonomically optimized layout and advanced luxuries, the G-Class cabin remains a living tribute to a tradition of hand craftsmanship that's all but vanished from the earth. Exquisitely handcrafted designo leather and cabin trim (standard on the G63 AMG) offers an extensive palette of personalization options, with eight colors of Nappa leather, three woods and carbon fiber from which to choose. As you make your way off-road, three sequentially lockable differentials offer increasingly masterful capability. Each differential can be locked in sequence (center, rear, and front) via a set of buttons on the dash, to help maintain the ideal balance of torque and traction for the situation. The 382-hp G550 V-8 generates 391 lb-ft of torque, with an exceptional 75 percent of it on tap at just 1,000 rpm. The G63 AMG is able to crank out 536hp and 560 lb-ft of torque. A dual-stage intake and continuously variable timing of both its intake and exhaust valves enhances efficiency and emissions. The standard G-Class permanent all-wheel drive system continually sends power to all four wheels. Advanced entertainment, navigation and communication systems work with intuitive ease in the G-Class.
