2019 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG

For a vehicle which was made as utilitarian as possible and initially meant for military use, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class also known as the G-Wagen is now a luxury four-wheel drive SUV that is firmly intended for discerning civilians. Its box-style design which stems from its military heritage is still evident in the new iteration of the G-Wagen, which is a styling cue that has continued from the first one way back in 1979. It’s still a body-on-frame SUV and comes with three (front, rear, and centre) locking differentials to this date, maintaining its tough and ‘go-anywhere’ ethos, despite the leather and wood-lined interiors with digital screens and all the creature comforts one would expect from a Mercedes-Benz. Our subject vehicle is a carefully used 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G63 AMG with just 11,310 miles on the odometer, located in California.
