The hottest G-Wagen sold new in Australia is now available in an off-road flagship variant, adding new suspension that's claimed to boost off-road capability.
The price of the 2026 Mercedes-AMG G63 V8 off-roader has hit a new high with the addition of an Offroad Pro variant offering greater capability on and off-road.
Priced from $383,900 plus on-road costs, it costs $15,500 more than the standard AMG G63, which was updated late last year with revised styling and mild-hybrid assistance.
Central to the upgrades is AMG Active Ride Control suspension that replaces the sway bars – which link one side of the vehicle with the other to reduce roll – with hydraulic valves that resist roll at each wheel.
The result is the promise of improved stability, and greater off-road wheel articulation.
It has been "specially tuned" with larger damper piston diameters and enlarged pressure reservoirs, and allows the stiffness of its body roll prevention to be configured between Low, Mid and High settings for its AMG Active Balance Control system.
It also includes AMG Traction Pro software claimed to manage "braking torque at each wheel, offering seven adjustable stages to improve traction in sand, mud or rocky conditions."
Other changes for the Offroad Pro include 20-inch AMG five-twin-spoke alloy wheels in matt black with silver surrounds, wrapped in all-terrain tyres.
Also added are 'Professional' branded rear mud flaps, a Professional-series roof luggage rack, a rear ladder, and rubber floor mats.
Mirroring the regular AMG G63, standard features inside include nappa leather upholstery, dual 12.3-inch screens with augmented-reality satellite navigation, a Burmester 3D surround sound system, wireless phone charging, and climate-controlled upholders.
The 2026 Mercedes-AMG G63 Offroad Pro is on sale now, bringing the line-up to six variants – the broadest it has been in the modern history of the G-Class wagon in Australia.
