Updated Mercedes-AMG G63 gets power boost, new tech - here’s how much it costs in South Africa

The grandest G-Wagon of them all has been given an electric boost, but you’ll be glad to know that its potent V8 twin-turbo heart remains intact.

That’s a shade under R200,000 more than the outgoing version, which is probably inconsequential at this level. Mercedes claims the G63 can now sprint from 0-100km/h in 4.4 seconds in standard form, and 4.3 seconds when using the Race Start function that comes with the optional AMG Performance package. For the record, the current G63 takes 4.5 seconds to get to 100.

Derived from the performance division’s sports cars, it features active hydraulic stabilisers that can compensate for body roll movements in fractions of a second. It’s also said to offer improved axle articulation in off-road settings.There are some big tech changes in the cabin too, with the G63 finally inheriting Merc’s new-generation MBUX infotainment system, complete with augmented reality navigation, which displays the road ahead with overlaid graphics pointing to the next turn.
