2027 Mercedes-Benz G-Class: Specs, Lineup, and Off-Road Capability
The 2027 Mercedes-Benz G-Class opens with a single model: the Mercedes-AMG G 63. It pairs real off-road hardware with top-tier luxury. The handcrafted 4.0L V8 biturbo with hybrid assist produces 577 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque. Power reaches all four wheels through the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G-TRONIC transmission and permanent all-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case. Three lockable differentials, seating for five, and a 7,000 lb towing rating make it as capable off pavement as it is on the drive to work.
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
The 2027 Mercedes-Benz G-Class Lineup
For the 2027 model year, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class arrives in one configuration: the Mercedes-AMG G 63. It is the newest G-Class you can order today.
The G 550 and the all-electric Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology continue as 2026 models. Shoppers exploring the G-Class family right now are therefore looking across two model years rather than one. All of them share the same foundation: a ladder-frame chassis, three lockable differentials, and the upright geometry that has defined the G-Class since the original military-derived vehicle. You can explore the rest of the range in our Mercedes-Benz model research library.
Exterior Design and Personalization
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class carries one of the most recognizable silhouettes in the automotive world. The upright body, exposed door hinges, round headlamps, and rear-mounted spare wheel are unmistakable. Decades of refinement have added luxury, but the basic shape has not changed.
The Mercedes-AMG G 63 measures 191.9 inches long, 78.1 inches wide, and 77.4 inches tall on a 113.8-inch wheelbase. Side platform steps add visual character and make climbing in easier.
Few vehicles offer this much choice. The MANUFAKTUR program opens up gloss, metallic, and matte Magno paint finishes. Interior colors reach well past the standard range. Options include Bengal Red, Sage Grey, Espresso Brown, Platinum White, and Tartufo Brown.
Three packages change how the exterior looks. The AMG Night Package replaces brightwork with blacked-out trim. The Night Package Plus and Night Package Magno tiers extend that treatment to the exhaust system, wheel arches, and bumpers. The AMG Carbon Fiber Package adds exterior carbon fiber to the brush guard, bumper insert, underguard, mirror housings, and spare wheel cover.
Performance and Off-Road Hardware
The numbers tell the story immediately. The handcrafted twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 produces 577 hp at 6,000 rpm and 627 lb-ft of torque across a 2,500 to 3,500 rpm plateau. That low, wide torque band is what matters when you merge onto a freeway, climb a grade, or pull a loaded trailer.
Power routes through the nine-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G-TRONIC, with paddle shifters on the wheel. From there it reaches all four wheels through a two-speed transfer case and three lockable differentials. Each one locks in sequence from a set of buttons on the dash, so you can add traction as the terrain demands it.
The suspension pairs an independent double-wishbone front end with a rigid rear axle on coil springs. The AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension adds adaptive damping with driver-selectable modes. It is available through the AMG Performance Package and the AMG Offroad Package PRO.
The Mercedes-AMG G 63 reaches 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. Standard top speed is 137 mph. The AMG Performance Package raises that ceiling to 149 mph through its Top Speed Delimiter, and also adds RACE START, AMG Track Pace, and red brake calipers.

EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy
The Mercedes-AMG G 63 carries EPA-estimated ratings of 14 mpg city and 16 mpg highway on premium unleaded fuel. A mild-hybrid system supports energy recuperation and start-stop operation, which offsets part of the demand created by a 5,842 lb curb weight and a high-output V8.

|---|---|
| City | 14 mpg |
| Highway | 16 mpg |

Interior Comfort and Cargo Space
Step inside the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and the shift from rugged exterior to refined interior is immediate. The cabin seats five in a 2+3 arrangement. Front bucket seats include memory functions, and leather covers the instrument panel and doors, combined with wood accents on the panel, doors, and center console.
Rear shoulder room measures 57.4 inches, which is wide enough for three adults across the bench. Rear legroom of 39.5 inches means passengers sit comfortably on drives of any length. Nappa leather seating comes in several colors. MANUFAKTUR widens that range again and adds custom stitching.
Two packages upgrade the seating. The Seat Comfort Package adds drive-dynamic multicontour front seats with massage, ventilated seating, rapid seat heating, and the ENERGIZING Package Plus. The Exclusive Interior Package Plus bundles those seat features with exclusive Nappa leather on the upper door panels, kneepads, and inner tailgate.
| Interior Dimension | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| Headroom | 41.9 inches | 40.5 inches |
| Legroom | 38.7 inches | 39.5 inches |
| Shoulder room | 57.8 inches | 57.4 inches |
| Seating capacity | 2 passengers | 3 passengers |
| Cargo volume | 68.6 cu ft, rear seats folded | 37.4 cu ft, behind rear seats |
Technology and Connectivity
The Mercedes-AMG G 63 arrives with a dual 12.3-inch display setup. One screen serves as the digital instrument cluster and the second as the central infotainment touchscreen. Both run MBUX, which supports touchscreen input, touch pad control, and natural-language voice control activated by Hey Mercedes.
Navigation adds 3D maps, an off-road display, and augmented reality overlays that guide you turn by turn. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as is the Burmester 3D Surround Sound System with Dolby Atmos and sound personalization. Satellite radio comes with a six-month trial.
Mercedes me connect handles the connected side of ownership. It enables remote lock and unlock, remote vehicle start, find-my-car, theft and tow-away alerts, vehicle diagnostics, and over-the-air software updates.
Three options round out the technology list. The MBUX Rear Seat Entertainment system adds two wireless headsets. A dashcam is available. Trailer Maneuvering Assist adds automatic steering and a reversing aid, which helps if you tow often.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Blind Spot Assist, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, brake assist, stability control, and a backup camera are all standard on the Mercedes-AMG G 63.
The PRE-SAFE system prepares occupants for an impending impact by tensioning seat belts and applying brake pressure before a collision occurs. Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC adaptive cruise control links to the navigation map for predictive speed adjustment at exits, junctions, corners, and city speed zones. Its stop-and-go function brings the vehicle to a complete stop in traffic and resumes automatically.
Traffic Sign Assist reads posted speed limits and displays them in the instrument cluster. Parking is supported by PARKTRONIC sensors at the front, rear, and sides, combined with the Surround View Camera System and its 3D enhanced view.
Driver-assistance and advanced safety systems are supplemental aids and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. Availability, operation, and effectiveness vary by trim and equipment and depend on factors including road, weather, traffic, and vehicle condition. Always keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. See your owner’s manual for system limitations and details.
