2025 Mercedes G63 High Performance All Terrain

It may be a common sight these days on the streets of Beverly Hills, but the Mercedes-AMG G63's roots date back to 1979 when the original G-class SUV was an all-business military off-roader. Years later, the G63 version became renowned for its boxy styling, high-end interior finishes, audacious twin-turbo V-8 engine, and off-road prowess—a high-performance all-terrain luxury SUV with an iconic backstory. The current G63 is based on the slightly less ostentatious Mercedes-Benz G550, but under the AMG's hood is a 577-hp twin-turbo V-8; all-wheel drive and a nine-speed automatic transmission are standard. The G63 can rip up a drag strip just as easily as it can tip-toe down a jagged mountain trail. After completing both of those tasks it can then be used to turn heads as you pull up to the valet stand at a posh eatery. Really, the only thing not to like about this luxury off-roader is its six-figure price tag—but that's the cost of excellence and exclusivity mixed with an equal helping of outrageousness
