Mercedes G63

In the city, the G 63 doesn't blend in with the crowd. Its boxy silhouette sends a pretty clear status signal, but beneath the luxurious veneer, it's still a genuine G-Class at work — with four-wheel drive, low-range gearing, three differential locks, off-road driving modes, and a digital Offroad Cockpit. At the same time, the V8 engine delivers 585 hp and 850 Nm, launching this off-road machine from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, all with the comfort you'd expect from a luxury model. And it's precisely this blend of authentic engineering, performance, and prestige that makes you wonder why the G 63 resonates so strongly with Polish customers.

Poland registers around 700 to 750 G-Class vehicles a year, with the G 63 accounting for as much as 85% of them. The facelift sharpened that distinction: the G 500 switched to a six-cylinder engine, leaving the V8 to the flagship AMG. Buyers have responded. In recent months, the G 63 has been Poland’s best-selling AMG model, while the country ranks fourth or fifth in Europe for AMG sales, depending on the source. Either way, the G 63 is a major force in the segment. Its remarkable local success also raises a wider question: how is the G-Class faring across Europe?

European demand for the G-Class is gathering pace. In the second quarter of 2026, global sales rose 3% year on year, led by gains of 25% in Europe and 42% in Germany. The G 63 shares in that success while retaining its place as the flagship AMG, pairing serious off-road hardware with luxury-car pace and comfort. Such breadth comes at a price: its V8, rugged mechanicals and status bring substantial weight, fuel consumption and running costs.

At more than 2.5 tonnes, the G 63 is neither cheap to buy nor to run. Driven hard, it can consume close to 17 l/100 km, although most owners will rarely test its full off-road ability. The sturdy construction, V8 performance and luxury comfort all carry a cost, but they also underpin the model’s market position. With price forming part of its prestige, the practical question is how to finance the purchase.

For most G 63 buyers, the price in the configurator is only the opening figure. Mercedes-Benz CEE says leasing is the preferred way to finance the most expensive high-end models, with long-term rental chosen less often. The car’s prestige reflects its capabilities and market position, but a sensible purchase also requires a clear view of the total cost of finance.
