The Appeal
While the aesthetics of Mercedes-Benz’ iconic G-Wagon wisely stayed true to the 70s original, it was an entirely different story with the mechanicals. The G63 was the most extreme iteration of this approach, offering buyers a 571bhp punch to go with the go-anywhere capability.
Fettled by AMG around Mercedes-Benz’ V8 M157 powerhouse, the G63 also dialled in high levels of luxury, but it was the option to bespoke to buyers’ individual tastes that made it particularly beloved of the wealth and celebrities.
This 2015 G63 reflects that approach with its Desert Sand paintwork and carefully personalised interior. Running a very high specification and equipped with careful maintenance since its arrival in the UK in 2018, it is a well preserved and certainly distinctive G63, just as these models should be.

The G63’s party trick is to combine familiar, classic aesthetics with a thoroughly modern one. The factory Designo service enables buyers to bespoke their cars to a very high standard from a vast range of options.
The original buyer of this G63 certainly took advantage of that service, as the distinctive sand and black colour scheme attests. The extensive quilting gives the car a thoroughly individual feel while the array of technological and electrical features make driving feel equally special.
The condition of the cabin reflects the low mileage. There are no obvious signs of wear, even the high-traffic areas like the driver’s seat and steering wheel betray only very lights signs of use. We understand that the extensive list of features all work as they should.
The Exterior
- Rare Desert Sand (code 1464) paintwork with 20in AMG 5spoke black wheels
- Distinctive stance and in very good condition with no obvious marks or scuffs
- Straight panels with no immediately obvious chips or dents
- Chrome front nudge bar and black side steps
- Optional stainless steel spare wheel cover
- Scratch resistant factory clear varnish finish
- Chrome Package
- AMG Carbon Package
- Twin side exit exhausts
- Underside presents well with no MOT structural advisories
- Dunlop tyres with plenty of tread
- Lights and trim in good, undamaged and clear condition
The G63 neatly takes the boxy underpinnings of the G-Wagon and pumps them up as befits a vehicle with 571bhp under the right foot. The factory then offers a bespoking service to personalise each G63 for the buyer.
As with the interior, the exterior of this highly specified G63 benefits from that facility. The rare Desert Sand metallic paintwork was protected from the factory with a scratch resistant clear varnish finish that likely explains why this vehicle presents in such good condition. It sits on purposeful 20in black AMG five spoke rims that are in very good condition with no visible kerbing.
Elsehere there is a chrome package and carbon package and a big chrome nudge bar up front to complete the overall effect of a vehicle that really means business.
The Mechanics
- Twin turbo 571bhp M157 5.5litre V8 engine
- 7spd 7G-TRONIC ‘AMG Speedshift’ automatic gearbox
- Extensive service history with few miles since last visit
The M157 V8 engine at the heart of the G63 has powered some of the firm’s greatest performance machines. It is a brawny, burbling brute of a motor that puts over 570bhp to the wheels via a 7spd automatic gearbox, here fettled by AMG to improve shift times.
This vehicle was imported by the vendor in late 2018, with all documentation completed and paid correctly, and has then been maintained by the same independent specialist for each service and other light maintenance work. The history file shows that Mercedes-Benz parts were sourced and have been used throughout. Aside from route service work - the last service was in December 2022 - other work has been minimal, mainly involving a new radiator in April 2022.
Summary
The G63 made a super SUV of the versatile G-Wagon, offering a level of performance that can embarrass supercars. To complement the capability, the firm’s high end Designo bespoking service enabled buyers to personalise their G63s.
This low mileage G63 is one of the highest specified we have seen. It comes with the reassurance of good service history and an advisory-free MOT.
