Pricing for the all-new Mercedes-AMG G63 has been announced.
Although we saw the all-new G63 for the first time at the 2018 New York Auto Show (NYIAS), it's taken a bit of time for pricing to reach the market. We assume that the Germans are doing this, wisely, due to exchange rates as well as potential tariff risks.
Finally, we've got the base price, which is $147,500*.
*This price does not include title, taxes and fees.
While the G-Class is a style icon and packs plenty of power thanks to its forced induction, 4.0-liter V8, one has to wonder if that's starting to get a bit too ambitious for the G. One thing we know for sure: This vehicle will still be picked up by various status seekers, including celebrities and athletes across the board.
That said, I am left wondering: Is the G63 priced RIGHT or is it TOO MUCH?
What say you, Spies?
