In 1972, Mercedes-Benz was churning out two-door coupes, four-door sedans, and Pullman limousines. Apart from its Unimog utility vehicle, a purpose-built 4x4 wasn’t anywhere on the company’s radar. Then Mohammad Reza, the Shah of Iran, placed a call to MB’s headquarters.

Reza was keen on buying a German-built off-roader – trouble was, such a thing didn’t exist. To make the Shah’s vision a reality, Mercedes-Benz recruited Austrian military vehicle manufacturer, Steyr-Daimler-Puch to do the development work. Over the next seven years, the ‘G-Model’ took shape. Finally, in 1979, the hand-built 4x4 entered production.

Each year, the G-Model (known later as the G-Wagon) became more refined, but also more capable. Leather, wood-grain trim, and air conditioning were juxtaposed with three locking differentials, short overhangs, and torquey powertrains. Soon after the G-Wagon changed its name to G-Class, it became a status symbol.

Today, the G-Class - especially the G63 - spends little time off paved roads, but remains a rugged, capable SUV. Following its 2019 redesign, the G63 carries over with only mild tweaks for the 2021 model year (and won't be produced at all for 2022).

The G63 brings a 4.0-liter bi-turbo V8, iconic styling, and sumptuous amenities to the battle for superfluous automotive spending (where the BMW X5 M Competition, Land Rover Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic, and Lamborghini Urus await). Which six-figure statement piece is best? Find out in this in-depth review.

I drove one of these a few weeks ago because my friends parents own a MB dealership and my friend surprised me picking me up in a brand new G63 in gorgeous dakota brown matte paint. These things truly make you feel like youre the king of the road

[nyckae]

Crazy too cuz the G wagon sounds WAY more deeper and vibrant in person. It's like a Bass amplifier

One of the most passionate, detailed and exciting car reviews I’ve seen!! My ULTIMATE dream car! Looking forward to more G wagon content.

[mbulelontsibande]

Missed watching your reviews, keep it up Miles

[alymanperformance]

I really loved that gorgeous blue colour!!!

[bennettvu]

All that flat roof space and there’s no panoramic roof available? C’mon now

[digital-artz]

I love the G63 and Have a feeling I’ll be owning it very soon

[seeno]

Subscribed. I think what would take this channel to the next level, alittle more performance driving. Maybe some twisty roads. You don’t have to dedicate a ton of time, but maybe 1-2 min. The freeway pulls I’ve seen are nice, but aren’t quite enough. Make those in addition to ( maybe on both these and the no talk). I can tell you’re a perfectionist and that you notice very minute details. You remind me exactly like my brother. Everything else is stellar 😄

The blue color fits perfectly with the Mercedes g class.

[mrsaveabuck]

Thank you for this, you did an amazing job !

[albertokosteri]

Cause a SUV may have air suspension doesnt mean that it is more capable off - road than G63. There is no doubt that G wagon is the most capable off road out there.. great video by the way

21:24 Don't worry about the backseat because most owners of G-wagons rarely have passengers at the back. Most of their friends can afford and will always bring their own luxury vehicles.

[leo-tndp]

Do you think a medium sized german Shepard would fit in the trunk? I'm thinking about getting a g wagon.

[mikkelreese]

"aint nothing but a g thang baby" ...Likes

[taylorja]

The China Blue spec is beautiful but I'd pick a different interior color

[InterstateRaziTV]

is Raymond Reddington's NEW RIDE!

[oralbrissett]

i think its so cool i like it the g-wagon the name says it all

[RedWaveComing]

just wondering what options are in your G63....debating for either G63 or Durango Hellcat

[AB-X]

Lol.. Mercedes won't make the biturbo V8 for 22. That didn't age well.
