2017 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG Edition 463 - Test Drive & Detailed Review

Today I went for a test drive & review the NEW 2017 Mercedes Benz G63 AMG. The car is worth over $170,000 and is worth every penny!

Thanks Bashar,

Great video! I have a new 17 in graphite grey with that red interior (well, the red interior that excludes the front console parts) and this video nicely sums up a lot about the vehicle you just don't find kicking around all in one spot.

One thing - you mention 7 people? I gather you must be including rear troop carrier seats (no video of the rear storage area) because otherwise its a 5 seater; I have only seen troop carrier seats in a G in Hong Kong and I doubt they are legal in North America where I have mine.

I would also say, in my experience with my 500 (I have yet to drive my new one as I am out of the country but it has been picked up) that it looks big, but inside is actually almost small feeling. A lot of friends that have gotten into it have all said the same thing; looks big from outside but inside it is quite narrow. And yea, as per parking, sure, its got heavy steering but its easy to park as the visibility is so good.

And dang, 41c day, that is toasty!

Thanks dear, I love your color combo! pics cannot do justified this car is epic...The car is very tall and wide and for parking it will cause some issues in tight spots but with all the 360 cam its easier and the car shape makes the visibility excellent

I can't fit a E class service loaner in the space I usually park my G63. It looks big due to height and shape, but it's pretty small inside and out. At 6'6" I love the headroom though.
