Used 2020 Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The G-Class comes in the base G 550, which is full of plush amenities, or the all-conquering G 63 AMG. Standard features include:

G 550
Starts you off with:

  • Turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine (416 horsepower, 450 lb-ft of torque)
  • Nine-speed automatic transmission
  • 19-inch wheels
  • All-wheel drive
  • Two-speed transfer case
  • Three locking differentials (help provide extra off-road traction)
  • Three-zone climate control
  • Heated front and rear leather seats
  • LED ambient interior lighting
  • Sunroof

Technology and safety features include:

  • Digital instrument display
  • 12.3-inch central touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity
  • Burmester surround-sound system
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the car back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle behind you is about to cross your vehicle's path while in reverse)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the G-Class and the vehicle in front)

AMG G 63
Includes all G 550 equipment and adds:

  • Turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine (577 hp, 627 lb-ft)
  • 20-inch wheels
  • AMG body styling and unique grille
  • AMG performance brakes
  • Adaptive damping suspension
  • Upgraded leather upholstery
  • Faux suede headliner

Notable options for the G-Class include:

  • Seat Comfort package (upgraded front seating)
  • AMG Line (G 500 only, adds AMG-inspired exterior and interior style enhancements)
  • AMG Trail package (G 63 only, adds off-road optimized suspension, all-terrain tires)
  • Various interior customization packages
  • Rear-seat entertainment system

Which G-Class trim does Edmunds recommend?

The G 550 offers plenty of standard equipment to make its presence feel special every time. Its turbocharged V8 engine has plenty of power, so we see little reason to upgrade to the AMG version. We do recommend adding the optional Seat Comfort package for the ventilated front seats and massaging feature — a little welcome pizzazz in this throwback SUV.
