Mercedes-Benz G-Class W463

Mid-Size SUV

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Mercedes-Benz G-Class W463 is a mid-size SUV in production from 1989 to 2017. It was available with a range of inline-4, inline-5, inline-6, V6, V8, and V12 engines that displaced 2.0 to 6.0 liters.

The single most iconic SUV in the world, the W463 has the longest production run of any modern vehicle. Through numerous iterations, it gradually became an ultra-luxury offroad vehicle loved by the nouveau riche as well as enthusiasts.

Some of the most exciting models include the G 65 AMG featuring the V12 bi-turbo engine, the 4x4² that has tremendous ground clearance, and the 6x6.

Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, will appreciate the extraordinary approach, departure, breakover, and climb angles that the chassis offers. Engineers at Mercedes-Benz clearly didn't think aerodynamics are that important for this vehicle, with a miserable 0.54 coefficient of drag to show for it.
