When navigating corners, this car doesn't handle, it actually carves out the corners. Many drivers have rated the experience as unreal as it seems the car is beating the laws that govern science and physics.
- Off-road driving is just as magical. Yes, the G63 gives a magical experience on the road, yet, the off-road experience is nothing short of pure magic. This is probably because of the bigger wheels. You can choose between 21-inches or 22-inches, both are available and can work on all terrains.
- Bullbars are the standard. All the G-Class vehicles from Mercedes Benz produces in 2019 come with bull bars, including the G63. The bars on the G63 goes around the lower part of the grilles. In the G63, the bars do not interfere with the camera system which is a problem with the G550.
- Cup holders. For the first time, a car in the G-Class range has cup holders. It is understandable since these cars only got to the US in 2002 and we all know the people in this country for their big gulps. There are two cup holders ahead of the gear selector and two in the front as well.
- The interior is mind-blowing. If you are turned on by interiors, this one will set you on fire. Even though the car looks aggressive on the outside, it is very plush on the inside. The door panels and seats are adorned with quilted leather. While there's some real metal in different parts of the cabin, there is real wood on the grab handle. Let's not forget the plastic that resembles brushed aluminum covering the air vents and some other parts of the dashboard.
- It's a vault. Three key features were infused into the new G63 from what we now refer to as the old G-Class. These include spare wheel cover, door locks, and headlamp washers. Of the three, people care most about the door locks. You'd actually hear a loud click when you unlock the doors and they rotate open. Every single sound made when you lock or open the doors of the G63 gives the amazing feeling of opening a vault.
- Side pipes. One of the most intriguing things about the G63 is the location of the exhaust pipes, at the side. Among all the G-Class cars, only the G63 has its side pipes very visible. The reason for this is ground clearance which is great considering the speed of the car.
- This car isn't cheap. We have already told you this earlier, but we just have to say it again. The G63 is not cheap and it is expected considering its features and the manufacturer.
