2013 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G 63 AMG

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG is the rare modern SUV that still delivers genuine, old-school hardware and unmistakable character—then turns the volume up with AMG performance. The G-Wagen’s core formula remains intact: a body-on-frame foundation built for real-world durability, a purposeful stance, and the mechanical traction hardware that made it famous long before “luxury SUV” became a category. For 2013, Mercedes elevated the lineup in a meaningful way by introducing the G 63 AMG, pairing that traditional G-Class engineering with an even higher-performance powertrain, while also updating the interior electronics and adding more safety-related features.

The 2013 changes are the kind you notice every time you drive it. The interior was reworked with an updated dashboard layout that places the COMAND infotainment screen front and center, and the latest mbrace2 telematics system joined the mix. The result is a cabin that keeps the G’s utilitarian roots but adds modern usability where it matters. Outside, the updates are subtle but specific—new mirrors with integrated turn signals, AMG-specific front-end details, and LED daytime running lights—keeping the design unmistakable while sharpening the look for 2013.

This particular example is exactly the kind of G 63 enthusiasts gravitate toward: just 46,825 miles, a Clean CARFAX, and finished in a head-turning Designo Night Black Matte exterior over a Black Designo Leather interior. It’s a specification that suits the G’s personality perfectly—bold, aggressive, and instantly recognizable. Under the hood sits AMG’s 5.5L twin-turbocharged V8, delivering the kind of thrust that makes the G 63 feel shockingly quick for a vehicle of its size, and that power is routed through a full-time AWD system designed for serious traction and stability.

And this is where the G 63 stands apart from most high-dollar SUVs: it isn’t just styled to look capable—it’s equipped with the hardware to back it up. You get the G-Class signature three locking differentials—front, center, and rear—giving you the mechanical grip that off-road enthusiasts respect because it’s direct, deliberate, and effective. In other words, this is the real deal: a luxury SUV that still carries true trail-rated engineering at its core, even if it spends most of its time on pavement.

Inside, the G 63’s cabin blends luxury with a purposeful driving position and a clear sense of occasion. The front seats are power adjustable and include Driver’s Dynamic Seat Control, and both front seats offer heated and ventilated functionality. The updated infotainment setup integrates AM/FM, Bluetooth, navigation, and a rearview camera, giving you modern convenience without overcomplicating the experience. Add in a power sunroof and a usable rear cargo area, and the G 63 delivers the utility you expect from an SUV—while still feeling like nothing else on the road.

As an AMG Edition, this 2013 G 63 carries the added performance identity that has made the AMG versions the most sought-after in the G-Class world. If you’re looking for a vehicle that combines serious AMG power, full-time AWD capability with three diff lockers, and the unmistakable presence of a hand-built G-Wagen—finished in an ultra-distinctive Designo matte specification—this is the one that checks the boxes in the way enthusiasts actually care about.
