India’s most desirable luxury car maker Mercedes-Benz India today, launched the MercedesAMG G63 in an ‘Offroad PRO’ variant. This top-end vehicle will be available in limited numbers underlining the exclusivity of the ‘Offroad PRO’ variant for AMG G 63 aficionados across Indian market. For decades, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class has remained an unmistakable automotive icon, combining timeless design, exceptional robustness and uncompromising off-road capability. Within this legendary lineage, the Mercedes-AMG G 63 has created a character entirely its own, bringing together the authentic DNA of the G-Class with exhilarating AMG performance and an unmistakable road presence. Its enduring appeal and continued patronage from Mercedes-Benz customers have transformed the AMG G 63 into a true icon, beyond a high-performance luxury off roader. With its more rugged visual character and AMG-specific off-road features, this variant elevates the G 63’s allterrain abilities and commanding presence to the next level.

 

Key Highlights of the Offroad PRO

 

AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension: The AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension supplements the standard AMG RIDE CONTROL with active roll stabilisation – perfectly matched to the characteristics of the various drive programs. Off paved roads, this allows high driving stability or greater axle articulation. This ensures ground contact and traction even in the toughest terrain. At the same time, the suspension increases comfort when travelling over bumps. Your G 63 is also virtually unstoppable with the exclusive off-road modes AMG Traction PRO and AMG Active Balance Control.

 

AMG Active Balance Control: In all off-road drive programs, you can individually adjust the roll stiffness of the AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension to the prevailing conditions in 3 stages – from low (LOW) to rigid (HIGH). You enjoy a more precise suspension tuning and even more stability off-road.

 

AMG Traction PRO: With this mode, you benefit from maximum traction in the “Rock” and “Sand” drive programs. After activating AMG Traction PRO, your G 63 controls the braking torque for each wheel individually. In bogged down situations, e.g. in deep sand, the vehicle can shovel itself free. You can also set the desired degree of locking in 7 stages as required.

 

PROFESSIONAL roof luggage rack: Stow larger luggage or expedition accessories safely on the roof. Thanks to continuous aluminium panels and a removable rear ladder, the area is fully accessible and easy to reach.

 

Offroad Wheels: Unique to this variant are the 20-inch AMG 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels painted in matte black with a diamond-turned rim flange equipped with 275/50 R20 tyres.
