Mercedes-AMG G63 (2025) Price Locked in for SA

The updated Mercedes-AMG G63 has just gone on sale in South Africa. Here’s pricing, plus a look at what’s changed for 2025.

The Mercedes-AMG G63 is an icon when it comes to luxury vehicles dripping in cool. With a potent 4.0-litre V8 biturbo V8 petrol engine making 430 kW and 850 Nm, the updated Mercedes-AMG G63 means business.

Not only does it feature an incredible soundtrack, but it has the performance to match, with a claimed 0-100 kph time of just 4.4 seconds and it will run to a limited top speed of 220 kph. For this update, a 48-volt EQ Boost integrated start generator, or hybrid hardware to you and I, has been installed and this has two main benefits, instant responsiveness and slightly reduced fuel economy. Speaking of, Mercedes-AMG claims 14.7 L/100 km.

As before, there’s a 9-speed automatic transmission and what’s a G-Class without its three selectable differential locks? The updated G63 features AMG Ride Control suspension with electronically controlled dampers, with three settings.

The biggest change can be found in the cabin where the G-Class finally receives the MBUX system which has been neatly integrated into a skateboard-style infotainment and digital instrument cluster combination. Each screen is 12.3-inches and if other modern Mercedes-Benz products are anything to go by, screen clarity and user friendliness are excellent.

If the V8-powered G63 is a bit much, Mercedes-Benz SA has confirmed the diesel-powered G450d and all-electric G580 (EQG) will be joining the local range in early 2025, and pricing will be communicated in the new year.
