# Mercedes-AMG G 63

URL: https://performanceandprestige.co.uk/cars/mercedes-amg-g-63

Its 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 makes 577bhp and 850Nm, reaching 62mph in 4.5 seconds, which is absurd for a 2.5-tonne box on a ladder frame with three locking differentials. Five seats and a 667-litre boot. We arrange this one through a vetted partner, so the rate is a guide until the car is confirmed.

## What is the Mercedes-AMG G 63 like to drive?

Nothing like a modern SUV, which is the appeal. It sits on a ladder frame with a solid rear axle, so it leans in corners and thumps over sharp edges, and the driving position is upright and commanding rather than sporting. Then you use the throttle and the AMG V8 hurls two and a half tonnes to 62mph in 4.5 seconds with a noise that sets off car alarms. It is a comedy of an object and enormously good fun.

## How much does it cost to hire a G Wagon in the UK?

Each day includes 150 miles, with extra miles at 125p. A £3,000 refundable deposit is held on a credit card at handover, and the insurance excess is £3,000. Driver minimum age for this car is 28.

## Is the G 63 practical as a family or business car?

More practical than it looks. Five full seats, a 667-litre boot behind them, a high driving position and a cabin trimmed to the same standard as a Mercedes saloon. The one thing to plan around is the side-hinged rear door, which needs about a metre of clear space behind the car to open, so a tight multi-storey bay is not its friend. Fuel consumption in town is heavy.

## Can the G 63 actually go off-road?

Genuinely, yes. It keeps the three locking differentials, low-range transfer case and 700mm wading depth that made the G-Class a military vehicle, which almost no rival still offers. Our hire terms require off-road, green-lane or beach use to be agreed in writing beforehand, because it is not covered as standard. Ask before you book rather than after.

## Frequently asked questions

### How many seats does the Mercedes-AMG G 63 have?

Five, all usable by adults, with 667 litres of boot space behind the rear bench. It is one of the most practical cars we list, and the one we suggest when a group needs to travel together and still arrive in something memorable.

### What age do you need to be to hire a G 63?

Twenty-eight or over, with a full licence held for at least three years and no more than six points. That is lower than our supercar criteria because the insurance profile is different. We confirm eligibility at enquiry, before anything is agreed.

### Is the G 63 limited to 137mph?

Yes, electronically. The limit reflects the tyres and the aerodynamics of a shape drawn in the 1970s rather than any shortage of power. In practice it is irrelevant on a UK road, where the car's low-speed shove is the part you actually use.

*Performance & Prestige hires vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Rates include VAT. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*

*Pre-launch note: the rates, driver criteria, deposits, excesses and mileage allowances quoted here are read from Performance & Prestige's own catalogue data, which is still being confirmed with the owner and the insurer.
