Engine Specs
The 2019 AMG® G 63 sports a handcrafted AMG® 4.0L V8 biturbo engine that replaces the previous 5.5L V8 biturbo engine.

The eight-cylinder engine delivers muscular power at all engine speed ranges while also achieving maximum efficiency for low fuel consumption and emissions.
Top Speed & 0-60 Time
Thanks to the engine’s smart design and performance-enhancing features, the iconic off-road SUV sprints from 0-60 MPH in just 4.4 seconds–which is 0.9 seconds faster than the previous model. The AMG® G 63 boasts an incredible maximum speed of 137 MPH or 149 MPH with the AMG® Driver’s Package.
AMG® Performance 4MATIC® All-Wheel Drive

The system features rear-biased torque distribution with a 40-60% front/rear split, a change from the preceding model’s 50:50 distribution, ensuring greater agility and improved traction during acceleration. The system’s off-road reduction gear has also been further developed with a transfer case reduction ratio of 2.93:1, which is higher than the preceding model’s 2.1:1 ratio.
