AMG G63 RETURNS! MY FIRST DRIVE IN THE NEW G WAGON

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes-AMG G63 receives a significant update with the addition of a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, enhancing its already potent 4.0L TT V8 engine with an extra 20hp and 200Nm of torque. The reviewer highlights the updated interior, new performance suspension, and keyless entry as welcome improvements. While the V8 soundtrack remains a strong point, the reviewer notes the increased use of speaker-generated sound due to regulations. The G63 demonstrates impressive on-road dynamics for its size, offering a fun driving experience with a broad capability range, from comfortable cruising to spirited B-road attacks. The review also introduces the all-electric G580 (formerly EQG), praising its immense torque, quiet operation, and advanced off-road capabilities like G-Turn and G-Steer. However, the reviewer leans towards the G63 for its traditional V8 character and soundtrack, suggesting it remains the preferred choice for enthusiasts, while acknowledging the G580's impressive technological advancements and off-road prowess.
