2025 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG Offroad Pro W463 Australian Version

• The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG Offroad Pro adds the optional AMG Active Ride Control suspension with hydraulically linked dampers and selectable off-road roll stiffness settings.

• Unique exterior elements include a roof rack, mud flaps, 20-inch wheels with off-road-focused tyres, and a body kit tailored to genuine terrain use.

• The model retains the AMG-handbuilt 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with hybrid assist, producing 577 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque, paired with AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive and dual-range transfer case.

Exterior Enhancements for Real Terrain

The 2025 G 63 AMG Offroad Pro isn’t styled for urban flair alone. The body shows a purposeful stance — the roof rack and mud flaps stick out, clearly signalling capability rather than show. The 20-inch wheelset, wrapped in more rugged tyres, sits flush within the body’s squared wheel arches. These visual cues suggest a G-Wagen prepped for more than just pavement.

The front end retains the G-Class’s iconic upright grille and round headlights, but the Offroad Pro adds subtle revisions: more pronounced protectors, added cladding and a steel-style bumper giving an impression of reinforced durability. The colour and finish remain premium, but these design decisions emphasise readiness. In comparison to rivals like the Land Rover Defender V8 Bond Edition or Jeep Grand Wagoneer L, the G 63 Offroad Pro leans heavier into off-road authenticity.

Underneath: Suspension and Chassis Upgrades

The defining mechanical upgrade in the Offroad Pro is the AMG Active Ride Control suspension system. Rather than conventional anti-roll bars, this version uses hydraulically interconnected dampers. In Off-Road Pro mode, the system can cut roll stiffness to as low as 1,500 N/degree, enhancing axle articulation over rough terrain. In Sport+ or road modes, that stiffness rises to as much as 6,000 N/degree.

The underlying drivetrain mirrors the standard G 63 — the handcrafted AMG 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, enhanced with a 48-volt hybrid assist system, produces 577 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque. A nine-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT automatic and AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive with low-range transfer case deliver power to the wheels.

The Offroad Pro package also adds selectable off-road drive modes (Trail, Rock, etc.), tuned to leverage the damping system’s full range. The result: more predictable articulation, better wheel contact over uneven surfaces and improved stability when the terrain shifts.

Interior: AMG Luxury Meets Intent

Inside, the Offroad Pro maintains the luxurious materials expected of AMG’s flagship SUV — hand-stitched leather, carbon-fibre trim and advanced MBUX infotainment. But there are additions suited to the off-road theme: mud-resistant floor mats, reinforced centre console detailing and additional switches for off-road mode selection. The roof rack’s mounting points are visible from the interior, connecting the garment of functionality with the material finish.

Driving aids and safety systems match the elevated entry: advanced camera views for terrain side-hills, optional underbody view, and enhanced lighting assist when venturing into unpaved conditions. The Offroad Pro doesn’t strip luxury; it layers capability on top.
