2025 MERCEDES-AMG G63 REVIEW - THE V8 LIVES!

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Mercedes-AMG G63 retains its iconic V8 engine, delivering 577 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque, enhanced by a 48v mild-hybrid system. Reviewers praise the V8's satisfying sound, especially the European exhaust note with burbles and backfires, though they anticipate the North American version to be even louder. The G63 offers a refined driving experience with its 9-speed torque converter automatic, optional AMG Ride Control with hydraulic anti-roll bars for flat cornering, and adaptive dampers. While not as comfortable as the electric G580 in Comfort mode, it provides a significant improvement over previous G63 models. The interior receives a long-awaited update with new infotainment, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and keyless entry. The vehicle excels both on-road and off-road, handling high-speed courses and jumps with surprising capability. The reviewers highlight the premium interior materials and build quality. Ultimately, the choice between the G63 and the electric G580 comes down to personal preference, with the G63 appealing to those who value the V8 experience and the potential end of its era.
