2024 Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz G-Class (or G-wagen, if you're nasty) is an off-road-oriented midsize luxury SUV that comes in standard G 550, performance-tuned AMG G 63 and outrageous AMG G 63 4x4 Squared specification. Each includes a generous list of standard equipment. Feature highlights include:

G 550
It's not the most expensive version of the G-Class, but the G 550 provides everything you need for storming the castle:

  • Turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine (416 horsepower, 450 lb-ft of torque)
  • Nine-speed automatic transmission
  • All-wheel drive
  • Two-speed transfer case with low-range gearing
  • Three locking differentials (help provide extra off-road traction)
  • 19-inch wheels
  • Brush guard
  • Tow hitch receiver
  • Three-zone climate control
  • 12-way power-adjustable front seats
  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated front and rear seats
  • LED ambient interior lighting
  • Power sunroof

Highlights of the onboard technology include:

  • 12.3-inch digital instrument display
  • 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity
  • Satellite radio
  • Navigation system
  • Mercedes Me connected services (one-year trial subscription)
  • 15-speaker Burmester surround-sound system

Mercedes G-Class driver assist features include:

  • Semi-automated parking system
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the G-Class and the car in front)
  • Automatic high-beam headlights

AMG G 63
For added power and bragging rights, the AMG G 63 is ready to serve with:

  • Turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine (577 hp, 627 lb-ft)
  • 20-inch wheels
  • Upgraded headlights
  • AMG body styling
  • AMG performance brakes
  • AMG performance exhaust
  • AMG adjustable adaptive suspension
  • Upgraded leather upholstery
  • Synthetic suede headliner
  • Surround-view camera

AMG G 63 4x4 Squared
Introduced in 2022, the AMG G 63 4x4 is impossible to ignore thanks to:

  • Raised suspension
  • Unique portal axles with wider track
  • 22-inch wheels
  • All-terrain tires
  • Exclusive paint colors
  • Matte-finish carbon-fiber interior trim
  • Synthetic suede-wrapped AMG steering wheel

Key option packages for the G-Class include the following:

  • Exclusive Interior package (premium leather and synthetic suede interior)
  • Seat Comfort package (ventilated and massaging front seats)
  • Night package (adds blacked-out exterior trim and details)
  • AMG Line package (G 550 only; adds AMG-inspired exterior and interior style enhancements)
  • AMG Trail package (AMG G 63 only; adds off-road-optimized suspension, all-terrain tires)
  • Numerous exterior and interior customization options

Which G-Class trim does Edmunds recommend?

The G-wagen is all about making a statement, and even though the G 550 offers more capability than a typical buyer will ever explore, it doesn't have the rorty exhaust and awesome speed and road presence of the AMG G 63. Plus, Breckan and Cyndee in the McMansion next door might throw shade, and nobody wants to deal with them. The AMG G 63 4x4 Squared is undoubtedly more impressive, but its off-road-tailored hardware might make the trek to Whole Foods a tad too bumpy.
