About This 2016 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G 63 AMG

The G-Class is not just a vehicle — it's a cultural statement backed by decades of military-grade engineering. This 2016 G 63 AMG wears its heritage proudly while delivering modern AMG performance that few SUVs on earth can match. At 73,563 miles, this G-Wagen sits in a comfortable ownership sweet spot: broken in and proven, yet with substantial life ahead.

If you're shopping used luxury performance SUVs in Los Angeles County, this is a vehicle worth serious consideration.

2016 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G 63 AMG Performance and Engine

Twin-Turbocharged V8 Power

Under the hood of this G 63 AMG lives a hand-built AMG 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine — the same fundamental powerplant that earned AMG its fearsome reputation across the Mercedes lineup. This engine produces 563 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque, propelling nearly 5,500 pounds of boxy, body-on-frame SUV to 60 mph in around 5.4 seconds. That performance figure still turns heads in 2024.
 

7-Speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT+ Transmission

Paired with the 7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT+ automatic transmission, power delivery is both immediate and refined. The SPEEDSHIFT+ unit offers multiple drive modes including manual paddle-shift capability, allowing the driver to dial in the experience from civilized daily cruiser to full AMG attack mode. The full-time AWD system — built around three locking differentials — gives this G 63 capabilities that most performance SUVs simply cannot match off-road, while still delivering planted, confidence-inspiring handling on Glendale streets and California freeways.

Mercedes-Benz G-Class Features and Interior

The G 63 AMG Trim Experience

The G 63 AMG trim elevates the already premium G-Class to a different level entirely. Expect AMG-specific sport seats wrapped in premium leather, a flat-bottomed AMG steering wheel, distinctive AMG instrument cluster, and the unmistakable side-exit exhaust pipes that produce one of the most recognizable engine notes in the automotive world.

Inside, the cabin blends rugged structural integrity with genuine luxury appointments. The elevated seating position, substantial door thunks, and analog toggle switches for the locking differentials give the G 63 a purposeful, mechanical character that no crossover can replicate. The COMAND infotainment system handles navigation, audio, and connectivity. Buyers upgrading from standard luxury SUVs consistently describe the G-Class interior experience as unlike anything else on the road.

Mercedes-Benz G-Class Reliability and Ownership

The G-Class has one of the most unusual reliability profiles in the luxury SUV segment. Its platform has been continuously refined since 1979, meaning known failure points have been engineered out over decades. The G 63 AMG's twin-turbo V8 is generally considered robust when maintained correctly, though prospective buyers should ensure oil change intervals have been respected given the performance demands of turbocharged operation.

Common ownership notes for this generation include maintenance of the front differential seals, the air suspension (on equipped models), and the COMAND system software. AMG models benefit from factory-spec synthetic oil and genuine Mercedes filters. Overall, well-maintained G63s are known to be durable, long-term investments — it's not uncommon to see them with 150,000 or more miles still performing strongly. Budget-conscious buyers should factor in AMG-tier maintenance costs, which are higher than standard Mercedes models but par for the course given the performance level delivered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2016 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG a good buy?

Yes — for the right buyer. The 2016 G 63 AMG delivers genuinely rare performance, iconic styling, and a cabin experience no crossover SUV can replicate. It holds its value exceptionally well compared to other luxury SUVs of the same era, and demand remains strong. Buyers should be comfortable with AMG-level maintenance costs and ensure the vehicle has a documented service history.
 

How many miles is too many on a used G 63 AMG?

The G-Class platform is remarkably long-lived. At 73,563 miles, this example is mid-life by G-Wagen standards. Well-maintained G63s frequently exceed 150,000 miles. The key factors are maintenance records, proper oil change intervals, and differential service history — not mileage alone.
 

What does the G 63 AMG trim include over the standard G-Class?

The G 63 AMG adds AMG's hand-built 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 (replacing the standard V8), AMG-tuned suspension, the SPEEDSHIFT+ 7-speed transmission, AMG sport seats, the signature side-exit exhaust, AMG body styling cues, and AMG-specific instrument displays. It's a comprehensively upgraded vehicle — not simply a badge swap.
 

What should I inspect when buying a used G 63 AMG?

Focus on differential seal condition, transmission fluid service history, cooling system health, and the COMAND infotainment functionality. A pre-purchase inspection from an independent Mercedes specialist is always worthwhile on any AMG purchase. Also verify that the exhaust, suspension, and engine management systems have not been modified in ways that could affect long-term reliability.
 

Is the 2016 G 63 AMG fuel efficient?

No — and buyers should understand this going in. The G 63 AMG is rated at approximately 12 mpg city and 15 mpg highway. This is a vehicle you buy for performance, presence, and capability — not fuel economy. Factor this into your total cost of ownership calculation alongside maintenance and insurance.
