The 2026 Mercedes-AMG G63 Offroad Pro has been confirmed for Australia and, as the name suggests, features several off-road-focused upgrades designed for rugged terrain, making it the new flagship of the esteemed G-Class range.
Priced at a whopping $383,900 excluding on-road costs ($15,500 more than the regular G63), the Offroad Pro combines additional intelligent suspension and exclusive driving modes with more cabin equipment in a more robust package.
This includes AMG Traction Pro, which manages torque distribution to each individual wheel in seven different levels to improve traction in slippery conditions.
Also exclusive to the special G-Wagen is the AMG Active Ride Control to improve wheel and suspension articulation off-road.

Active Ride Control includes an active stabilization package with specially tuned off-road damper settings achieved by larger diameter shock absorber pistons and larger pressure accumulators.
It also boasts AMG Active Balance Control, which offers three different roll stiffness settings to improve stability on various surfaces such as sand, gravel, rocks and other challenging terrain.
The Off-Road Pro features all-terrain tires in place of the standard road-going rubber tires on 20-inch matte black alloy wheels, with additional mud defense contained by rear mud flaps and rubber mats in the cabin and cargo area.
There are also more loading options thanks to a standard “walk-in” roof rack and rear-mounted ladder.
The interior also features an AMG performance steering wheel with Nappa leather trim, Burmester audio, wireless smartphone charging and temperature-controlled cup holders.
The G63 Offroad Pro features the same 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine and nine-speed automatic transmission as the standard version, meaning output remains unchanged at 430kW of power and 850Nm of torque.
Mercedes-Benz will expand the G-Class model series into a sub-brand. The company is currently developing a smaller version called the Mini G, which was announced by the German automaker last month and is also expected to ride on a ladder frame but only offer electric propulsion.
There are also reports that Mercedes-Benz will expand the G-Class range with a larger seven-seat model to compete with the best-selling Land Rover Defender.
In Australia, the G-Class series is currently launching with diesel power G450d ($214,900 before on-roads) and also includes the all-electric powertrain G580 Price from $249,900 plus on-roads.
