The G‑63 Offroad PRO opens at ₹3.80 crore, a price that puts it well above the flagship G‑63 but still below the ultra‑luxury Rivian R1T, which starts at ₹4.5 crore. Its 4.0‑litre bi‑turbo V8 spits out 585 hp and 850 Nm, with a mild‑hybrid 48‑volt kit that gives a 15 kW bump when the engine is low. The all‑wheel‑drive layout can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, a speed that feels more like a sports car than a workhorse.
The real draw is the off‑road arsenal. Mercedes‑Benz has slotted in AMG Active Ride Control, a hydraulic roll stabiliser plus adaptive dampers that let you pick low, medium or high roll stiffness. Two driving modes—AMG Active Balance Control and AMG Traction PRO—tune suspension roll and wheel‑by‑wheel braking torque for sand, rock or mud. Outside, a removable rear ladder gives access to a roof rack, while matte black 20‑inch alloy wheels keep the look rugged yet refined.
In the same segment, the Land Rover Defender 110 and Range Rover SVAut pull up with 350 hp and 700 Nm, but they lack the V8’s sheer head‑on power and the dedicated off‑road cockpit that the G‑63 flaunts. The cockpit displays steering angle, altitude, tyre pressures and differential lock status, and even streams a bonnet‑camera view for the driver. For buyers who want a luxury badge that can actually climb a hill, the G‑63’s combination of raw torque, hydraulic suspension and a 48‑volt mild‑hybrid makes it a heavyweight champion.
Mercedes‑Benz India says the Offroad PRO will be sold in a handful of high‑end dealerships and is limited in quantity, a move that keeps demand high and preserves exclusivity. While the launch is immediate, the rollout will be phased across metros, with the first units expected to hit showrooms in the coming months. For the enthusiast looking to own a piece of the G‑class heritage that can also tackle a jungle trail, the Offroad PRO is a rare find that blends performance, technology and prestige in one heavy‑metal package.
