Mercedes-AMG G63

Tuesday, May 14, 2024 12:00 AM

The iconic G-Class silhouette shrouds a wholesale update that now makes the mighty and capable G63 a proper super SUV There’s a new electric G-Class and the ICE versions, including this bombastic Mercedes-AMG 63, have been hybridised. Has Graz gone woke? Are pigs soaring over fields with Beezlebub ice skating beneath them?The short answer is no. The AMG has the mildest of mild hybrids (A 48v integrated starter generator) and reassuringly, it is still an ostentatious, in your face display of wealth, and opulence and a massive signal to the proletariat that you are better than them because you can afford to ignore tedious objectives such as price, interior space or mpg.As such, its rivals are hard to pinpoint. The Range Rover has a similar heritage, the Land Rover Defender V8 has the same off-roading ability and badass V8 soundtrack. While the Ineos Grenadier is similar in ethos, but is a bit more of a workhorse.Then there are performance SUVs, such as the Porsche Cayenne and Aston Martin DBX 707.
