Luxury-lined new AMG G-Class to top $250,000
The Mercedes-AMG G-Class 63 has a 4.0-litre V8 producing 430kW of power and 850Nm of torque that can haul the square-edged SUV from standstill to 100kmh in 4.5 seconds.
That's impressive power from a smaller capacity bent eight, given the previous model generated 420kW/760Nm from its 5.5-litre unit.
Production begins globally from June this year, but it won't reach our shores until August 2019.
While an off-roader at heart, the AMG derivative of the 'G-Wagen' will have passengers in the lap of luxury. Mirroring the luxurious E-Class saloon, the G-Class will have two 12.3-inch widescreen displays, a 590-watt Burmester surround sound system with 15 speakers, ambient lighting with 64 colours and eight colour schemes, sliding glass sunroof, sports exhaust...all sitting on massive 21-inch AMG five-twin spoke alloy wheels.

Other luxuries include heated seats (front and outer rear) covered in high-end Nappa leather, three-zone climate control, leather-finished dashboard with open-pore ash wood trim and microfibre roof liner.
Safety includes nine airbags, radar cruise control, lane keeping assist which can help steer the car within lines during highway conditions, as well as an automatic braking system, as well as a function which prepares both the vehicle and occupants if a collision is inevitable.
