This has to be the only Mercedes-Benz product for which the AMG model outsells the non-AMG—any time I see a G-Class, it’s almost never a G550.

My brain is telling me this car is stupid, my heart is telling me its badass

This video needs a "Headphones Required " sign. What a beautiful noise! I love watching that tach. The fuel gauge, not so much. What a power trip that vehicle is.

Literally just saw one of these do a small acceleration on the road and the way the front lifts is WILD to see. Also the exterior noise when it idles is oh-so-nice. Its also not that big for a modern SUV which is super nice. If I had f-you money id have one as an offroader without a doubt.

[SuccessAvenueYT]

I will always love this car. It always delivers a mafia vibe.

[shpley]

This spec looks very good, actual full black, amazing.

One of the devellopment guys said they had the specific requirement to keep the door sounds and the door lock sounds from the old one. As people just find them so iconic that the "new" version (in 2018) had to have that, despite the materials being partially different.) So there is thought and purpose in these sounds in the new/current one.
edit: and in real life, i never get tired of seeing one of the AMG ones (being tested by the factory) accellerating full on. Them lifting the front looks so great, funny, insane and mighty at the same time.
edit2: 16:58 Yes it will have that feature. (and where i live, it seems the elctric one might be cheaper than the Diesel or gasoline one as it doesn't have the extra fuel consumption tax...)

not a big Mercedes fan, but if I had to choose a SUV, this is it. I think the car is perfect, outside and inside.

[kdubb]

I saw one on the freeway the other day that looked just like that! It was awesome! The door close and lock sound is so satisfying!

[CarreraRS]

Nothing else on the road says, "Look at me! I'm a rich asshole!" any louder than one of these

[edalder]

This G63 is the ultimate vehicle for the bodyguards of Bond villains and you won't tell me otherwise.

[ElijahHaskins]

when you revved it up sounds real nice especially in 3rd gear and 2nd gear

[zachspeck]

I used to not like G-wagons because of everything they represented. Then I rode shotgun in a G63. And now I’m in love.

[d-manz]

Im not really a car guy but I've been watching your videos to help me be more confident on the road and it's mainly the videos with life lessons, im currently 22 without my license and it feels like im wasting it but one of your videos helped me to try and be more adventurous

[RyanRoadReaper]

I think that the only SUVs on the road today that would attract more attention than this would be something like a Bentayga, Urus, or maybe a Purosangue.

[CurtiMado]

The Gwagens get a lot of hate but the reality is they’re probably one of the best production vehicles on sale. Does the price point suck? For sure.

[Odghunter]

When you said crazy Moab stuff I instantly thought of Whistlindiesel 😅

[PretentiousBrownie]

I've always had this weird affinity for the G-Class, but have never particularly enjoyed driving/riding in them; to me, they felt exactly like their platform and style would suggest. Still, they were extremely durable and novel, so hey, it was hard to argue too much!

Then I drove a 2022 G 63 and my perceptions were immediately changed! The refinement took a definite step forward, the chassis became even more situated and planted - it felt (slightly) less like a big Wrangler, and way more tank-like. The interior upgrades made an absolute world of difference, and the minute bits we'd interact with felt considerably more ergonomic and modern.

Brakes definitely were touchier than I expected, but had a good amount more positive feedback than more typical Bronco and Wrangler counterparts.

The power train is intoxicating. It just has this unbelievably uncanny ability to be the comfortable and durable grocery-getter, and then be the most raucous, rambunctious, ridiculous V8 4X4 monster in the same breath. It's genuinely wild! Even past AMG G-Classes just didn't quite hone that in as well, and more "typical" AMG models like the C 63 or E 53 are almost expected to be that solid all the time, so it's never a surprise!

After my own drives, I love seeing how experienced drivers respond to these things, and it's always great to hear your takes and see where you find each vehicle's niches and unique attributes. Keep it up!

That V8 sounds EVIL! The theme of the G63 is "Highway to Hell."

[williamlong]

The door lock/unlock needs to be an optional Apple text tone. V8 would make for a pretty nice ringtone, too
