Engineering Verdict
“Aerodynamics of a brick, acceleration of a sports car. The independent front suspension makes it driveable daily, but it remains a heavy, body-on-frame truck.”
Mercedes-AMG G 63 specs. The boxy icon. 577 HP V8.

Historical Context
The G-Class has barely changed its shape since 1979, but the 2018 overhaul replaced the solid front axle with independent suspension, transforming its on-road manners.
Ownership Analysis
Solid powertrain. Wind noise and door seals are common complaints.
