Live updates: Second-gen Mercedes-AMG G 63 launched in India

Tuhin Guha Updated: October 05, 2018, 11:57 AM IST

The second generation of the Mercedes-AMG G 63 is being launched in India today. This is the first full generation change for the iconic SUV since it debuted in 1979. Like its predecessors, extensive changes have been made to this SUV to make it fit to carry the G 63 moniker. Aside from the relatively untouched looks of the new G-Class, the G 63 comes with AMG-specific trim both inside and out.

This new version, with its more refined, practical and up-to-date underpinnings, looks to keep all those attributes intact in a package that is more accessible, efficient but equally imposing.
