Power Meets Precision Off-Road with the 2025 Mercedes-AMG® G 63

The 2025 Mercedes-AMG® G 63 carries forward the unmistakable G-Class design and pairs it with a suite of advanced systems that redefine off-road performance. Behind its signature boxy silhouette and handcrafted AMG® V8 lies a highly sophisticated foundation built for control, articulation, and pure capability. From its ladder-frame chassis to the AMG® Active Ride Control Suspension, every component works together to balance raw strength with remarkable smoothness across any terrain.

AMG® Active Ride Control Suspension

The AMG® Active Ride Control Suspension represents the biggest leap in the G 63’s off-road engineering. Instead of relying on traditional anti-roll bars, it uses a hydraulic network that connects all four struts. The system actively adjusts pressure through pumps and valve blocks to counteract body roll in milliseconds. On-road, this delivers flatter cornering and immediate steering response. Off-road, it enables maximum wheel articulation and traction by allowing the suspension to fully extend on uneven surfaces. The result is a system that provides both greater comfort and capability, adapting seamlessly to any driving condition.

In rough environments, the suspension’s ability to vary stiffness lets the G 63 glide over ruts, rocks, and loose soil without jolting the cabin. It’s also more responsive to changes in terrain, ensuring each wheel maintains contact and grip where it matters most.

AMG® Offroad Package PRO

Drivers seeking the full breadth of the G 63’s potential can opt for the AMG® Offroad Package PRO. This configuration combines the Active Ride Control Suspension with all-terrain tires and off-road programming that refines the vehicle’s behavior across multiple surfaces. Within this package, AMG® introduces two specialized modes that fine-tune how the SUV performs in challenging conditions:

• AMG® Active Balance Control: Adjusts roll stiffness between low, medium, and high levels depending on terrain and driving speed. Lower stiffness enhances articulation for rocky or uneven surfaces, while higher settings improve stability and precision on dirt roads or high-speed off-road runs.
• AMG® Traction PRO: Focuses on maintaining traction where it’s needed most. Through wheel-selective braking and electronic control of the longitudinal differential, it channels power to the wheels with the best grip. The driver can further adjust distribution through seven selectable levels using steering-wheel controls.

Together, these features allow the G 63 to switch from precise trail crawling to fast off-road performance without hesitation.

Intelligent Drivetrain & Differential Systems

The G 63 maintains its traditional trio of locking differentials—center, rear, and front—allowing it to distribute torque evenly across all four wheels. Paired with the permanent 4MATIC® all-wheel-drive system and low-range gearing, it ensures progress on steep grades and loose terrain. Unlike other high-performance SUVs that rely primarily on traction control systems, the G 63 still delivers the mechanical feel that off-road purists value.

When combined with the electronic systems from the AMG® Offroad Package PRO, the result is a drivetrain that adapts instantly, managing torque delivery and braking input to achieve a balance of power and control rarely seen in a performance vehicle of this size.
