Mercedes-AMG G63 2025

Editorial

The G-Class has been in production since 1979 and, in nearly half a century, hasn't changed its silhouette or its essence: a body-on-frame, differential locks, a vertical windshield, and doors that close with the sound of a safe. The AMG version turned a utilitarian legend into a cultural phenomenon: even people with no interest in cars recognize the G63, and that's exactly why people buy it. Within the Mercedes-AMG lineup, it's the flagship in terms of recognition, if not in numbers — an icon that sells itself.

Journalists who have tested the updated generation describe it as a paradox on wheels: an almost two-and-a-half-ton body-on-frame SUV that, at full throttle, rears its nose and launches forward with the fury of a sports car, all accompanied by the signature roar of a hot V8. At the same time, the latest version is the most controllable G-Class in its long history: the updated active suspension has tamed body roll, the steering has become quicker, and through corners the car holds itself together with an almost indecent composure for its silhouette. One review called it "an AMG GT on stilts," and going by feel, that's close to the truth: a cube on the outside, a sports car with theater on the inside.

The unit in the VertexRent fleet is the freshest, current version from the updated generation with the modern suspension — that is, exactly the car being ordered from dealerships today.

In Detail

The unit in the VertexRent fleet is a 2025 model year, Obsidian Black body, five seats. The powertrain is a 4.0-liter biturbo V8 producing 585 hp and 850 Nm of torque, all-wheel drive (4MATIC). Acceleration to 100 km/h takes about 4.3 seconds, with a top speed of 220 km/h, the factory-rated figure.

In practical terms, this means the G63 works equally well as a pre-purchase test — the waiting list and price of a new G63 are such that a day behind the wheel becomes cheap insurance against an expensive mistake — for status events (weddings, partner meetings, photo shoots), and for a family luxury weekend where both image and five full seats matter. Current rates by rental period, the deposit amount, and the mileage limit are listed in the "Sazby" block and in the facts card on this same page.

Equipment includes a modern infotainment system with smartphone support, comfortable sport seats, and a full set of driver-assistance and parking systems — especially valuable when maneuvering the tall body-on-frame body through narrow Prague courtyards.

Mercedes-AMG G63 2025 vs BMW X5 M Competition — icon or missile

The fleet's two most powerful SUVs play different games. The X5 M Competition is about efficiency: 625 hp, 290 km/h, handling that's sharp for a two-ton crossover, all for a considerably lower deposit and rental rate compared to the G63. The G63 is about presence: it's slower on paper (220 km/h) and notably more expensive to rent, but no X5M turns as many heads on Prague's cobblestones or delivers the sense of occasion that has people lining up at the dealership. The choice here isn't "which is faster" but "what you need from the car for this day."

What to check behind the wheel if you're considering buying a G63

People buy the G63 with their heart, but they should test it against everyday life. Start with the dimensions and driving position: the tall, upright architecture isn't for everyone, and maneuvering through narrow Prague courtyards and parking lots is an owner's daily reality. Then check the noise and fuel consumption: a V8 with a theatrical exhaust is wonderful on the boulevard and tiring past the five-hundred-kilometer mark — test yourself with a long haul. The updated generation's suspension deserves special attention: it has changed the car's character, and if you compared the G63 based on old test drives, the new version will surprise you. And don't skip checking family compatibility: the five seats here are genuine, but loading, sills, and ride height have their own quirks that only a real day of use will reveal.

Suggested Route

The G63 is equally at home on the cobblestones of the historic center and on the gravel of a forest road — few cars cover both genres at once. A good countryside scenario is Průhonice with its UNESCO-listed park-reserve, or Dobříš with its French garden: short, scenic drives within the daily mileage limit. Don't aim for Karlovy Vary without doing the math first — a round trip from Prague will exceed the standard daily mileage limit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the G63 be delivered around Prague?

Delivery service around the city is available — convenient for events, with the car brought to a hotel, a shoot location, or an office at the scheduled time. Check the exact cost of the service when booking.

How does this G63 differ from the fleet's other Mercedes-AMG G63 (a 2023 model)?

These are two units of the same model from different years: the 2025 unit is from the updated generation with the modern active suspension, a notably higher deposit, and a higher rental rate than the 2023 unit. The base engine specifications are similar for both.

Which is better to rent: the Mercedes G63 or the BMW X5M?

On paper, the X5 M Competition is faster and more affordable: 625 hp, 290 km/h, and a noticeably lower deposit. But people don't rent the G63 for the numbers — they rent it for the icon: the body-on-frame silhouette, the status, and the sound of the V8. If you want maximum dynamics for your money, go with the X5M; if you want the legend, go with the G63.

How convenient is the G63 for parking in Prague's historic center?

The body-on-frame SUV is larger than most crossovers in the fleet, and that's felt in narrow old-town courtyards and parking lots — a 360-degree camera and parking sensors help, but the experience of driving a massive car over cobblestones differs from that of compact sedans. It's worth factoring this in when planning trips around the center.

Can this car be driven outside the Czech Republic?

Yes, subject to arrangement with the manager — this rule applies to the entire VertexRent fleet with no model exceptions. The deposit doubles from the standard amount for a cross-border trip (the current amount is in the facts block on this same page). The destination and dates are arranged in advance when booking.
