Used 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV Trims Comparison

The Mercedes-Benz G 550 is powered by a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine and produces 416 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque. A nine-speed automatic transmission sends the engine power to all four wheels. And as is customary for the G-Class, a complete set of lockable differentials (front, center and rear) can be actuated as needed by the driver to control wheelspin on tough terrain.

Since the G-Class is a luxury SUV, it comes standard with a broad range of creature comforts such as 19-inch wheels, three-zone climate control, leather seats, driver-seat memory functions, heated front seats, and a Burmester surround-sound system.

Driver assist and safety equipment includes active lane centering, front collision mitigation, and Pre-Safe, which configures the cabin to minimize a collision's impact on passengers.

Power-hungry SUV drivers will find satisfaction with the AMG G 63. Although the G 63 comes with a 4.0-liter turbocharged engine just like the G 550, the engineers at AMG juiced it up to produce 577 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque. It also has a revised nine-speed transmission that serves up quicker shifts and adaptive suspension damping for better chassis control.

Features and technology carry over from the G 550, but the AMG G 63 comes with an aggressive look thanks to different wheels, grille, wheel arches and side-exit exhaust.

Notable options for the G-Class include the Seat Comfort package (multicontour front seats with ventilation and massage), the Exclusive Interior package (upgraded interior upholstery and trim) and an upgraded digital gauge cluster display.
