Hi guys and welcome to the channel! My name is Nick O'Leary!
Now today we're looking at one of these which is a Mercedes-AMG G63 Magno Edition.
Now for starts as with all G-Class's or G-Wagons they have such presence on the
road and offer that extremely aggressive stance especially when it comes to a Mercedes-AMG model.
So for starts you've got the AMG specific grille and then of course you've got the red brake
callipers and black wheels everything about this car just offers that amazing stance on the road.
Now compared to G-Wagons from years and years ago this one's undergone quite a few changes
ranging from a slightly different chassis, to a different body,
different engines, gearbox basically everything's a little bit different!
However this one's actually about 170 kg lighter compared to the previous models from years ago
but it still retains some of that awesome off-road experience that these cars can achieve.
And while we're on the topic of the previous G-class's
the new one is actually 53 mm longer and 121 mm wider so in all all this
extra room actually goes to the passengers on the inside so this benefits everyone!
So for the front leg room you get 38 extra mm, rear legroom is increased by a further 150 mm.
The front shoulder room 38 mm more, the rear shoulder room is an extra 27 mm
and then the front elbow room and rear elbow room 68 mm for the front and 56 mm for the back.
Now when it comes to customising a G-Class at the factory there are
usually quite a few options to choose from compared to like your typical Mercedes.
Now with the introduction of this new model you also have a new thing called "G Manufaktur".
"G Manufaktur" basically means you have more colour options for the exterior
and more colour options for the seats as well.
Now this particular car here is a Mercedes-AMG G63 Magno Edition and more specifically it's a
designo night black magno it turns everything matte black so we're talking the paint
even the badging on the side the V8 BITURBO and even the wheels as well.
And for one of these I think it's quite fitting!
So guys let's talk about this engine!
So in a Mercedes-AMG G 63, they house a 4.0 L V8 Bi-Turbo and the Bi-Turbo meaning two
turbos. So with all that in mind it outputs 585 hp meaning it's 0 - 60 time...wait for it!
Is 4.5 seconds! Which is crazy fast for a car like this. Now also its top speed is
137 mph but if you want you could opt for a thing called the "AMG Drivers Package"
which will remove this limiter meaning its top speed will be 149 mph which again for a car
like this and its size, aerodynamics as well obviously being quite square is crazy fast!
So yes all round very very very fast. Now as with all Mercedes AMG's on their top end models
they also have the signature plaque even in 2021 as well! So this car is no exception,
once this person has made this car they'll put their plaque
on the engine to signify that they made this with their bare hands! Very very nice!
So what's it sound like? Well of course this video wouldn't be complete without
a sound test but i'll save that for the end! So stick around for the end and we'll show you
what it sounds like with the exhaust valves open and the exhaust valves closed as well.
So then guys let's get on to the main part of the video going through the interior
starting off in the boot but before we do that...Notice there is genuinely a spare
wheel on the back of the car because this can do some pretty intense off-roading you
never know when you might need it so a very welcoming feature!
So let's have a look at the boot! Now it opens up this way and the thing that always catches my eye
is the high quality materials that you'll find in the back so in some cars you'll sometimes
find some good materials in the front and of course more premium manufacturers will offer
leather everywhere and that sort of thing. But sometimes you'll find there'll be some
more evidence of plastics when you go to the rear of the car which for me isn't the problem because
I spend most of my time in the front driving but even in a G-class here you'll find...look I mean
look at this fine detail on the back here so so nice. Kind of makes me want to sit in the back!
So stats on the boot is 667 L with these seats as they are here with them up
if you fold them down it will go up to 1941 L so a huge increase there and there's a tow bar
as well in case you want to do any towing. The towing capacity braked is 3,500 kg.
Now for those with a keen eye you can probably see those TV screens there in the back or multimedia
screens so this features the Rear Entertainment Package lets have a look see what those do.
So when it comes to the rear seats this particular car has the Rear Entertainment Package and what
this is basically two screens here allowing you to have separate content on each.
Now there's a couple of ports so if I tap home
there's USB there's HDMI and Aux as well so you can plug in your favourite content.
For me I've got a USB stick plugged in at the moment and
just playing a video on the screen like this.
Now traditionally with some older G-Wagons and even any other Mercedes for that matter
with Rear Entertainment you used to have these kind of Mercedes-Benz headphones
and those were the only ones that worked with the car.
Now that's changed so now this has been opened up with just
traditional Bluetooth so you can actually connect your favourite
Bluetooth headphones and just use any headphones now so before you had to use
the Mercedes-Benz headphones and you had to visit the workshop to get it paired which I
think was a bit of an inconvenience now you can just use any headphones which is a huge bonus.
Now it's not all about rear screens so let's go see through some other things here so we've got
double glazed windows for the rear here ambient lighting and again that really fine
material on the back. We've got heated seats for the rear, little storage just in here.
Now in the back as well there is climate control so the climate control can be adjusted for the
temperature and the fan speed separately to the front and down here there's a USB port
with a 12 V socket and I'm sure just like normal there's cup holders in here..yep!
And also there's through loading as well just in case you need to
put any long items through from the boot to the front.
Now up front the interior of the G-class is amazing
most people's eyes are drawn straight away to this awesome widescreen display which you know if I tap
on the sat nav looks amazing you can see very very clearly your speed in front of you sat nav here.
And even things like this carbon fiber on the steering wheel and right in the middle as well
IWC clock as well it just looks amazing every single detail.
Now some people their eyes are drawn straight away to this handle here now that handle does
actually serve a purpose. It is genuinely for the passengers to hold on to when
you're kind of going off-road because obviously it can be a little bit bumpy
and speaking off-road these three buttons here are the diff locks.
So first up why do cars have diffs or also known as differentials?
Well to keep it really really simple the way a diff works when cornering is by releasing one
wheel and driving all the power to the wheel of least resistance. However when this happens to a
car when doing some extreme off-roading the car is going to be sending power to this wheel here
because it is the wheel with the least resistance because it's off the floor.
So this is where a diff lock comes in. A diff lock ensures the power goes through to both wheels at
the same time meaning it'll turn this wheel and this wheel so you can get out. Of course
this is a very very extreme example but it does illustrate the G-Wagon's full off-road capability
so basically these buttons allow you to lock the diff on the center the front or the rear.
So going underneath these buttons you'll see that the climate controller is here
and then underneath this we have NAVI, RADIO, MEDIA, TEL and VEHICLE.
Quite simply that is for this screen and it's controlled using this touch pad here or this wheel
or the left hand side of the steering wheel.
So if I tap home you'll see there's NAVI, RADIO,
MEDIA, TEL and then there's a few extra things down here like VEHICLE where you
can adjust the displays lights and a few settings and that sort of thing.
So quite simply if you go into the sat nav very very clear but
the good thing is with this is you can customise this screen over here as well
and even put the Sat Nav over on this side if you wanted.
Now of course this particular setup is very unique to this Mercedes-AMG
you can of course change this to some more traditional dials if you like the kind of
classic look with two dials either side and maybe you can have your speed in the middle like normal.
But I know quite a few people quite like the...the kind of SUPERSPORT look that this screen offers.
Now of course this being a dedicated off-roader G-Wagons used to be very geared up towards
just for off-road use and then unfortunately the kind of on-road use was well not that
comfortable. Now I'm pleased to say that this car has been set up for off-road and on-road so
you'll find that the newer G-Wagons certainly you can always tell with the new shaped grille
those are the new ones. They're going to have some very very good on-road performance as well
and kind of give you that Mercedes-Benz luxury experience you'd expect. Of course all this can be
customised using the DYNAMIC SELECT button you can basically swipe this up and down and go through
these different modes from slippery to Individual you've got Comfort, Sport and Sport + as well.
So there's loads there to choose one as you can see compared to some other Mercedes there's
a huge long list of stuff that it changes on the car and the one that always catches
everyone's eye is the exhaust so let's have a look see what that sounds like!

I guess if you fancied one yourself have a look in the description down below there's
a link to Sandown Mercedes-Benz where they might be able to get you one if you fancy one yourself!
