The second-generation Mercedes-Benz G-Class is about to come in for its first round of updates.
The original Mercedes-Benz G-Class stuck around for four decades and was given multiple updates over the years to keep it fresh. We're not sure how long Mercedes plans to keep the current G-Class on the shelf before giving it a redesign, but it looks like the automaker will at least give the vehicle periodic updates in similar fashion to its predecessor., and now we have spy shots depicting a tester for the updated G63 from AMG.
Judging by the camouflage gear on the G63 prototype, we'll likely see a revised fascia introduced up front. And while the general shape of the grille should remain unchanged, a new mesh pattern is expected.We're told that the dash was also covered up, suggesting some changes inside as well. A key update inside should be the addition of Mercedes' MBUX infotainment system, which features in every current Mercedes bar the G-Class.
The G63 is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 good for 577 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque. While AMG has just launched ain its GT 4-Door Coupe, we don't expect the G63 to go the plug-in hybrid route just yet. A more likely bet is the addition of the mild-hybrid system already offered with the 4.0-liter V-8 in some Mercedes models. The system features an electric motor capable of adding a temporary boost of 21 hp and 184 lb-ft. AnHigh-Res Gallery:
