AMG G63 vs Toyota Land Cruiser: OFF-ROAD RACE & BATTLE

.............................................................

Who’s ready for an almighty off-road battle?!

We’ve got the super luxurious Mercedes-AMG G63 going head-to-head against the Toyota Land Cruiser Commercial across a series of off-road challenges to see whether luxury can topple utilitarian once they leave the tarmac.

When it comes to the power stakes, the G63 easily has the Toyota beat. With a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet, this AMG can put down 585hp & 850Nm of torque! In comparison, the Land Cruiser rolls up with a 2.8-litre turbo diesel that can only produce 204hp & 420Nm.

In terms of off-road capabilities, they both come with more than enough ability to tackle some off-roading, including low-range modes and central locking diffs. However, while the Toyota is set up for any terrain, the G63 arrives with road tyres and a low-slung exhaust!

That’s not all though! While the Toyota is relatively cheap at £37,000, the AMG costs around £157,000! So with that in mind, is Mat prepared to push it to the limit off-road?!

You’ll have to keep watching to find out!

Name a better SUV than the AMG G63. We'll wait...

[janmatejka]

Significant difference is how you behave with each car - G Wagon makes you afraid of scratching it but with Toyo you are tossing it around like old rug :D

Bruh that Land Cruiser. Wasn't expecting that!!. The driver seriously wanted to win the 1st challenge.
Shoutout to him honestly.🤣🤣🤯🤯

[mueedhassan]

Always wishing for an actual Land Cruiser V8 to be out here representing the actual Land Cruiser community, heritage and performance! You can do this Carwow!

[Firebolt]

So you’ll be faster driving a Land Cruiser like you stole it than driving a G-wagon like you borrowed it from your boss

[CITRUS--]

This definitely was an easy entry into the "Carwow's most pointless and useless comparisons ever, purely for your entertainment" list 🤣🤣🤣

[badenwheeler]

I love how this isn't even the full out land cruiser and it still won.

[George-wevy]

Matt took longer to come off the brake during the down hill test.

[fahim]

Why not use a full spec 5 door version of the Land cruiser Prado? That would be a much fair comparison between the two cars.

[richiericha.k.ajdmcardriver]

4:01 That was insane. Crazy to see how that Land Cruiser flew up in the air, by a few feet.

[rneoman]

Landcruiser won the downhill challenge too, Matt didn't take off until the cruiser was already on the decent, timing them going down would be better.

[wayando]

Cheapness is a definitely a feature when going off-road.

[Midg-tdty]

I would like to see a repeat of the test without any consideration for that g class value. Step on it, dont worry about damaged rims and suspension just treat it as if it were a 37k Landrover.

[urbanbunny]

Is there a reason you guys never do actual, equal comparisons? These cars have nothing in common. Why not get a normal G, or a specced Land Cruiser? Road tyres on an off-road course… come on Matt.

[Yashuop]

Your consistency and quality of content never disappoints!❤️

[RV_]

That’s actually the problem with the G. It can be a great off-roader but because of all the ridiculously expensive and "luxurious" stuff it just isn’t capable enough. I mean only Yannie can afford to take such a car off roading without worrying. 😂

[athangpatil]

We want to see rolls Royce cullinan doing off-road 🤣🙂

[chrishewson]

In the real world, the land cruiser would be better overall, I think the commercial land cruiser has smaller wheels and its a bit basic. The Gwagon is too expensive and not as practical, would love to see a range rover/discovery up against the g wagon

[oosawa]

I will definitely take the Land Cruiser over any SUV's because that's the only suv that you can take it to off-roading without worrying

[tdodge]

5:10 of course Mat is going to get down the hill last if you set off long after the other vehicle
