The Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon is more than just a vehicle; it’s a rolling monument to status and engineering. With its iconic boxy silhouette and commanding road presence, the G 63 AMG sits at the pinnacle of many automotive wish lists. But the initial price tag, staggering as it may be, is often just the beginning of the story.
Luxury car manufacturers are masters of the art of customization, offering a dizzying array of options that can escalate the final cost dramatically. For the discerning buyer looking to create a truly one-of-a-kind G-Wagon, the accessories list can feel like a high-stakes menu where a single selection can rival the cost of an entire family car.
When Options Cost More Than a Car
To put it into perspective, selecting the “Full Leather Package” for the G 63 AMG’s interior will add approximately ₹25 Lakh to your bill. To put that number in context, that’s the entire price of a Hyundai Creta. The personalization doesn’t stop there. For those seeking a more aggressive, sportier aesthetic, the AMG exterior carbon fibre package is available for ₹12.5 Lakh.
The list of à la carte upgrades is extensive and meticulously crafted for every part of the vehicle:
- Aesthetic & Exterior: A Brilliant Blue Magno paint job (₹10.5 Lakh), a black-painted roof (₹2.5 Lakh), or even a spare wheel cover painted to match your vehicle’s colour (₹2 Lakh).
- Performance & Styling: 22-inch AMG forged wheels (₹1.5 Lakh) or having the front and rear brake calipers painted black (₹1.1 Lakh).
- Interior Opulence: A cherry wood luggage compartment floor (₹3.8 Lakh), a Nappa leather upgrade (₹1.5 Lakh), or carbon fibre inserts for the steering wheel (₹1.3 Lakh). For rear-seat passengers, high-end MBUX entertainment units come in at ₹4.75 Lakh.
The truly shocking figure emerges when you tally up all these optional extras, including the full leather package. The total comes to a breathtaking ₹58.95 Lakh.
Let that number sink in. That’s more than the on-road price of a top-of-the-line Toyota Fortuner in Mumbai (approximately ₹52.11 Lakh), with money left over. The base G 63 AMG starts at around ₹4.83 Crore on-road. Once you’ve checked every box on the options list, you’re looking at a final price nearing ₹5.41 Crore.
What Justifies the Price Tag?
Beyond the customizable luxuries, the G 63 AMG’s core identity justifies its cult status. It’s a rare machine that blends military-grade ruggedness with palatial comfort. The cabin is a masterclass in design, featuring a rugged yet sumptuous interior anchored by a sweeping twin 12.3-inch screen display for the dashboard and infotainment.
It’s packed with features designed for supreme comfort, including a breathtaking Burmester 3D surround sound system, ambient lighting, three-zone climate control, and powered, ventilated, and massaging front seats.
Under the hood lies the heart of a beast: a handcrafted 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine that produces a colossal 577 bhp and 850 Nm of torque. This power is channeled through a 9-speed automatic transmission and a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, making the G-Wagon as capable on a mountain trail as it is commanding on a city street.
Ultimately, owning a G-Wagon is a statement. And for those with the means, that statement can be fine-tuned with options that transform an already exceptional luxury SUV into a deeply personal—and astronomically expensive—masterpiece.
