The second-generation W463 G-Class, introduced for the 2019 model year, represented the most significant redesign in the model's 40-year history. While retaining the iconic boxy silhouette and ladder frame, Mercedes-Benz made it longer and wider, and critically, replaced the front solid axle with a modern independent suspension. This change dramatically improved its on-road handling and ride quality without sacrificing its legendary off-road prowess. The interior was also completely transformed, adopting the dual-screen MBUX infotainment system and luxury appointments from the S-Class sedan.
Collectors and enthusiasts value the G-Class for its unique combination of brutalist design, military heritage, and top-tier luxury. The AMG G 63 model is the most desirable, powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 577 horsepower. It offers supercar-like acceleration in a package that can conquer nearly any terrain. Limited production numbers, special 'G manufaktur' color options, and its undeniable status as a pop culture icon keep demand consistently high.
Market values for the second-generation G-Class are very strong, often trading near or even above their original sticker price, especially for low-mileage G 63s. High demand and limited new vehicle allocations from Mercedes-Benz create a floor for used prices. While the G 550 offers a slightly more accessible entry point, the AMG variant remains the benchmark for value retention and collector interest.
Buying Tips
- Check the large, expensive wheels and tires for curb rash or damage from off-road use.
- Test all functions of the dual-screen COMAND/MBUX infotainment system, as electronic gremlins can be difficult to diagnose and repair.
- Inspect the side-exit exhaust pipes on the G 63 for scrapes or dents, which can occur from road debris or improper lifting.
- Look closely for any imperfections on optional 'Magno' matte paint finishes, as they are very expensive to repair correctly.
- A complete Mercedes-Benz dealer service history is crucial, as proper maintenance of the engine and 9-speed transmission is vital for longevity.
Prices range from around $45,000 for older, first-generation models to over $244,000 for recent, high-specification AMG G 63 variants.
