For more information about G-class fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. In our 75-mpg highway fuel-economy test, the G63 matched its EPA rating by delivering a 16-mpg result. The EPA rates the G63 at 13 mpg in the city and only 16 mpg on the highway. Fuel Economy and Real-World MPGįrugality is not within the grasp of a fast, box-shaped SUV.

Ride comfort is vastly improved versus older the G-wagen, but given this SUV's towering height and off-road mission, you shouldn't expect much in the way of handling ability. Along with its extra power, the G63 has AMG-specific suspension tuning. At our test track, the nearly 5800-pound G63 rocketed to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds. Low-range gearing (2.93:1 reduction) is standard, as are three locking differentials, allowing the G63 to scale steep dirt grades with ridiculous ease. A nine-speed automatic gearbox with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters sends that power to the all-wheel-drive system (4Matic in Mercedes marketing lingo).
Regular G63s come with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine that makes 577 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque. We would option our G63 with the Seat Comfort package (to get the multi-contour seats with ventilation and massage) and the AMG Trail package to unlock the proper tires for off-roading. The standard equipment list is quite livable, however, since every Mercedes-AMG G63 comes with 20-inch wheels, adaptive dampers, a front brush guard, leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, and three-zone climate control. Although the G63 starts at around $180,000, most go for considerably higher than that due to their myriad customization options.
