The 2025 Mercedes-AMG G63 has arrived in Australian showrooms with notable enhancements, including a mild-hybrid system and updated technology, all while maintaining its iconic design and performance capabilities.
A Familiar Beast with a Modern Touch
Let’s start under the bonnet. The G63 retains its legendary 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, delivering a heart-thumping 430kW of power and a jaw-dropping 850Nm of torque. But here’s where it gets interesting: Mercedes has added a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. This clever tech offers an extra kick of up to 15kW and 200Nm during acceleration. Think of it as the automotive equivalent of having a turbocharged espresso shot when you need it most. The hybrid system doesn’t just boost performance—it also helps make this beast a little kinder to the planet.
Subtle Design Tweaks, Big Presence
From the outside, the G63 is unmistakably G-Class. Its iconic boxy shape and commanding presence remain intact, but Mercedes has given it a few updates to keep things fresh. Redesigned bumpers and a revamped grille give it a sharper, more modern look. Inside, the updates are even more noticeable. The latest MBUX infotainment system takes centre stage, offering intuitive controls and advanced connectivity. Whether you’re blasting down the freeway or crawling over rocky trails, you’ll have tech at your fingertips to keep you connected and entertained.
Driving Comfort Meets Off-Road Prowess
Let’s not forget what makes the G63 truly special—it’s just as comfortable conquering rough terrain as it is gliding through city streets. The 2025 model introduces AMG Active Ride Control, an advanced suspension system that uses hydraulic roll stabilisation and adaptive damping. In simple terms, this means better handling and a smoother ride, no matter where you’re headed. It’s the kind of technology that turns a luxury SUV into a go-anywhere vehicle, equally at home in the Outback or outside a five-star hotel.
Whether you’re looking to dominate the urban jungle or explore the great outdoors, this powerhouse has got you covered.
