Unveiled in March this year, Mercedes-Benz South Africa has released pricing of the updated G-Class headed by the ever-popular AMG G63.
Line-up will expand in 2025 with the G450d that replaces the current G400d, and the all-electric G580.
Adding an additional 15kW/200Nm for short bursts, the V8, on its own, produces an unchanged 430kW/850Nm routed to all four wheels through the double clutch 9G TCT gearbox.Still with the trademark three locking differentials and low range, the AMG G63 will get from 0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds, despite weighing 2 640 kg, before topping out at a limited top speed of 220 km/h.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an augmented reality Head-Up Display, a so-called Off-Road Cockpit with a series of displays, including transparent bonnet view display, completes the interior, along with a new keyless entry system. In diesel guise, the 3.0-litre straight-six develops 27kW/50Nm more than in the G400d with outputs of 270kW/750Nm – this excluding the mild-hybrid system.
All-electric G580, previously set to wear the name EQG, will makes its South African market debut in 2025. Image: Mercedes-Benz Biggest difference from the combustion G-Class at the rear is the smaller spare wheel cover that now houses the charging equipment. Image: Mercedes-Benz
