2024 Mercedes-AMG G 63 Grand Edition

The 2024 Mercedes-AMG G 63 Grand Edition: A Limited, Luxury Off-Road Icon Reimagined

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class, an unrivalled symbol of robustness and luxury since its inception in 1979, is once again creating a stir with the introduction of a unique variant - the 2024 Mercedes-AMG G 63 Grand Edition. This special edition G-Class sets a new benchmark in exclusivity with a production run limited to 1,000 units and a marked contrast in exterior colors that pays homage to its lineage while amplifying its distinctiveness.

Styling: Classic Meets Contrast

Mercedes-AMG, the high-performance division of Mercedes-Benz, has taken the bold aesthetics of the G 63 a step further with the Grand Edition. The familiar yet distinct profile of the G-Class, the beloved off-roader, gets a fresh look with the MANUFAKTUR night black magno paint scheme. The design further stands out with gold-colored details that present a stark contrast, highlighting the vehicle's design lineage tracing back to the first G model from 1979.

Iconic Emblems and Exclusive Details

The Mercedes-AMG G 63 Grand Edition introduces for the first time the AMG logo and the Mercedes star in an exclusive kalaharigold magno color. The iconic Affalterbach emblem proudly adorns the hood, also in kalaharigold magno. Further enhancing the vehicle's appeal are the tech gold 22-inch AMG forged wheels, featuring a cross-spoke design, matt black central locking nut, and a Mercedes star. The ‘Grand Edition’ side foiling also utilizes the tech gold color. An addition worth noting is the customized AMG Indoor Car Cover, offering protection from dust and scratches.

Interior: A Study in Contrast and Luxury

The Grand Edition's cabin stays true to the G 63’s luxurious image while embracing the black and gold theme. Upon entering, occupants are welcomed by illuminated 'AMG' emblems on the black door sill trims. The seats, upholstered in G Manufaktur black nappa leather, feature contrasting gold stitching, and gold-edged plaques with the AMG logo are embedded into the backrests. The roof grab handles are crafted from nappa leather, and even the trim piece in the inlay of the grab handle on the passenger side is an attention-grabbing carbon with copper thread, bearing a "Grand Edition" badge. The AMG Performance steering wheel, clad in DINAMICA microfiber, integrates a G 63 plaque in the steering wheel clasp, further asserting its uniqueness.

Ordering and Pricing

The ordering for the Mercedes-AMG G 63 Grand Edition has begun, starting at a price of 228,896.40 euros, which includes the expressive equipment package. For our U.S. audience, we'll keep an eye out for updates regarding the model’s availability, specifications, and price in the American market.

Redefining the Off-Road Legacy

In its Grand Edition guise, the Mercedes-AMG G 63 reaffirms its iconic status in the performance off-road vehicle segment. With its potent drive, AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension, and AMG-specific driving programmes, it seamlessly merges power, refinement, and capability. However, with such a limited production run and an ambitious blend of contrast, comfort, and cutting-edge features, one can't help but wonder whether this new edition will appeal to the broader G-Class fan base or attract a niche clientele. Nonetheless, the Grand Edition is indeed a grand celebration of the G 63's success story, which is evidently far from over.
