A luxury SUV has become the must-have vehicle in the driveway and with a plethora of contenders perhaps none of them have generated quite as much interest over the last few years as the new G-wagon and in particular the G63 AMG. For the first time since its conception in the late 1970’s, the G-Class has been fully re-engineered from the ground up. With reduced weight, increased stiffness and strength and a totally redesigned suspension and off-road system it gives a much more sure-footed handling experience than previous generations.

Despite huge technical advancements in both driveability as well as comfort and luxury, the G63 has managed to maintain much of its character and appeal from its boxy design to the satisfyingly solid clunk when you close the doors. All the iconic features remain including the bonnet mounted indicators, exposed hinges and side exit exhaust, which continue to give this 4x4 a unique style and utilitarian charm.
