The record

Mercedes put the 6x6’s portal axles under a standard G 500 in 2015 for the ultimate factory off-roader and revived the idea on the new G as the G 63 4x4² in 2022.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
