The Mercedes-AMG G 63 combines the traditional G-Class shape with a handcrafted 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine, AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive and a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. For buyers considering a Mercedes-Benz G-Class for Sale in Dubai, the G 63 remains one of the most recognisable high-performance luxury SUVs, but its appeal is not limited to appearance.
The current G 63 produces 585 hp and 850 Nm of torque, with a 0–100 km/h time of 4.4 seconds. It also retains the G-Class’s three differential locks and low-range transfer case, giving the AMG version genuine off-road hardware alongside its road performance.
The G 63 uses a 3,982 cc twin-turbocharged V8 producing 430 kW, or 585 hp, with maximum torque of 850 Nm. The engine is paired with an AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission and AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive, while a 48-volt starter-generator provides additional electrical assistance during acceleration and supports smoother operation of the powertrain.
Mercedes-AMG quotes 0–100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, which is particularly notable for a vehicle with the G-Class’s size and upright body. The mild-hybrid system is not a separate electric powertrain; instead, it supports the V8 and electrical systems while helping improve response and efficiency.
The G 63 also keeps the hardware that makes the G-Class more than a road-going luxury SUV. Three selectable differential locks and a low-range transfer case allow the driver to manage traction when the surface becomes difficult, although most owners will spend considerably more time on paved roads than on technical terrain.



The G 63 retains the square profile that has defined the G-Class for decades, but AMG adds its own visual and aerodynamic details. The AMG-specific radiator grille, larger air intakes, AMG wheel-arch extensions and four-branch side-oriented exhaust system distinguish it from the standard G-Class models.
The upright design gives the G 63 a very different presence from most modern performance SUVs. It looks deliberately boxy rather than trying to reduce its visual height, which is one reason the model remains so recognisable even from a distance.
For Dubai buyers, the exterior is also part of the ownership equation. AMG wheels, Night Package elements, MANUFAKTUR paint and other factory options can change the appearance and final price considerably, so two G 63s from the same model year may have noticeably different specifications.
Inside, the G 63 combines the traditional upright driving position of the G-Class with Mercedes-Benz’s current digital interface. The cabin can be specified with premium materials such as Nappa leather, carbon-fibre trim and other AMG finishes, while the MBUX system provides navigation, media, vehicle functions and voice control.
Available comfort equipment can include multicontour and massage functions, ambient lighting and a premium Burmester sound system. The exact equipment depends on the market specification and selected options, so buyers should check the original build sheet rather than assuming every G 63 has identical equipment.
The cabin is also designed around the practical requirements of a large SUV. The rear seating area provides useful passenger space, while the rear-mounted spare wheel remains part of the G-Class’s distinctive exterior layout.



The G 63 is equipped with a range of driver-assistance technologies designed to make a large and powerful SUV easier to operate. Depending on specification, these can include Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Assist, Traffic Sign Assist and parking assistance with camera-based visibility.
A 360-degree camera system is particularly useful in a vehicle with the G-Class’s upright body and large exterior dimensions. It can make tight parking spaces and low-speed manoeuvring easier, although cameras and electronic assistance should not replace checking the vehicle’s surroundings directly.
The G 63 also uses AMG high-performance braking hardware to manage its substantial power. Driver-assistance systems can reduce workload, but they are not autonomous driving systems and the driver remains responsible for controlling the vehicle.
Fuel consumption is one of the less impressive areas of G 63 ownership, which is unsurprising given the combination of a large V8, high power output, four-wheel drive and a relatively heavy body. Mercedes-AMG currently lists combined WLTP consumption in the region of 14.7–15.7 L/100 km on its global G 63 page, depending on configuration and test specification.
Actual consumption in Dubai can vary significantly with traffic, driving style, temperature, tyre specification and time spent idling. Heavy urban traffic and frequent acceleration will naturally produce a different result from steady motorway driving.
The 48-volt mild-hybrid system helps support the powertrain, but it does not transform the G 63 into an economical SUV. Buyers choosing this model are primarily paying for performance, engineering and the G-Class package rather than low running costs.




The current official Mercedes-Benz Gargash Dubai website lists the Mercedes-AMG G 63 from AED 1,049,900, including 5% VAT. That is a much more useful reference point than the older AED 819,800 figure previously published in this article.
The final price can rise substantially depending on factory options, special editions, wheels, interior specification and MANUFAKTUR personalisation. Mercedes-Benz also offers different G-Class versions in Dubai, so buyers should make sure they are comparing the G 63 with the correct model rather than the G 500 or electric G 580.
Used-market prices are even more dependent on the individual vehicle. Model year, mileage, GCC specification, accident history, service records, options and ownership history can all have a significant effect on asking price.
For buyers comparing cars for sale in Dubai, the best approach is therefore to compare the actual specification and condition of each G 63 rather than relying on one average used price.
The G 63 retains the core off-road architecture that makes the G-Class different from many performance SUVs. Its ladder-frame construction, permanent all-wheel drive, low-range transfer case and three differential locks give it the mechanical hardware needed for difficult surfaces.
AMG also equips the G 63 with AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension with adaptive damping. The system allows the vehicle to change its response according to the selected driving mode, helping it balance road performance with the requirements of uneven terrain.
That does not mean every G 63 owner should take the vehicle into deep sand. The large wheels, expensive tyres and substantial weight make correct tyre pressures, recovery equipment and driving technique important when using the vehicle off-road.
For UAE owners who regularly visit desert areas, the G 63 has genuine off-road capability. For those who mainly use it around Downtown Dubai, Jumeirah or Sheikh Zayed Road, much of that hardware will remain unused.



A G 63 requires more attention to running costs than an ordinary SUV. The V8 engine, performance brakes, large wheels, specialised tyres, sophisticated suspension and extensive electronics can all increase the cost of ownership when components eventually require replacement.
Service history is particularly important when buying a used example. Buyers should check maintenance records, inspect the engine and transmission for leaks or abnormal behaviour, examine suspension components, verify brake and tyre condition, and confirm that the vehicle has not been heavily modified.
For imported vehicles, the regional specification should also be confirmed. GCC-spec cars can have different equipment, warranty arrangements and history from vehicles originally sold in other markets.
The safest approach is to arrange an independent inspection before purchasing a used G 63, especially when the asking price is significantly below comparable GCC-spec examples.
The Mercedes-AMG G 63 remains unusual because it combines the structure and off-road hardware of the G-Class with the performance of a 585 hp twin-turbo V8. Its 850 Nm of torque, 4.4-second 0–100 km/h acceleration and AMG Performance 4MATIC system give it serious performance, while the three differential locks and low-range system preserve the G-Class’s off-road identity.
For Dubai buyers, the current starting price of AED 1,049,900 places the G 63 firmly in the high-end luxury SUV market. The real purchase decision, however, depends on the exact specification, warranty, service history and intended use rather than the badge alone.
The G 63 makes the most sense for someone who wants the distinctive G-Class design but also wants substantially more performance than the standard versions. It is not the most efficient or practical choice in every situation, but its combination of road performance, luxury and genuine off-road hardware is what continues to separate it from conventional performance SUVs.

That side-exit exhaust detail hit home—nothing beats hearing that AMG roar bouncing off Sheikh Zayed Road’s glass towers. I noticed you mentioned the 700 mm wading depth, which is wild for an SUV this luxurious. But here’s my thought: with fuel economy at 7.6 km/L, do you actually see many owners in Dubai caring about running costs, or is the G63’s appeal so much about presence and performance that nobody minds the thirsty V8?
Exactly, Salem. Most G63 owners here aren’t sweating over fuel bills—it’s about the statement the car makes. You buy a G63 for the roar, the road presence, and the desert dominance, not for economy. Still, that mild-hybrid touch is a nice nod toward efficiency, even if it’s not the main selling point.

August 18, 2025 at 10:19 amThat Panamericana grille with the side-exit exhausts—honestly, it’s like the G63 was designed for Dubai’s skyline echo. 🔥 What stood out for me in your review is the resale value you mentioned; it’s crazy how strong these hold compared to other luxury SUVs. But here’s what I’m curious about: do you think most G63 buyers here really use those triple locking differentials in the dunes, or is it more of a flex for the city streets?
Mr.Amin
September 3, 2025 at 1:20 pmGood point, Khalifa. Truth is, a lot of G63s never touch the sand—it’s all about the look in Downtown or JBR. But for the ones who actually take it to Liwa or Al Qudra, those differentials are the difference between cruising over dunes and digging yourself out. It’s the rare case of a feature that’s both a flex and fully functional.
