The differences between the Mercedes-Benz G63 and G500 are: 1. Different levels: The Mercedes-Benz G63 is a high-performance AMG version; the Mercedes-Benz G500 is the standard G-Class. 2. Different transmissions: The Mercedes-Benz G63 uses a manual-automatic transmission; the Mercedes-Benz G500 uses a standard automatic transmission. 3. Different dimensions: The Mercedes-Benz G63 has a length, width, and height of 4769mm, 1855mm, and 1938mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2850mm; the Mercedes-Benz G500 has a length, width, and height of 4717mm, 1855mm, and 1949mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2890mm.
I've been driving off-road vehicles for several years and am quite familiar with these two models. The G500 comes with a 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine producing 421 horsepower, which already delivers thrilling performance with noticeable acceleration push. But the G63 takes it up a notch to 585 horsepower – the AMG-tuned engine roars the moment you step on the gas, achieving 0-100 km/h nearly 1 second faster than the G500, making overtaking exceptionally crisp. The suspension also differs significantly; the G63 comes standard with adaptive damping, providing greater stability over speed bumps. Exterior-wise, the G63 features a vertical-slatted grille with red brake calipers, larger and more aggressive wheels, plus side-mounted exhaust tips that produce exhaust notes a level above the G500. However, for daily driving, the G500 is far more fuel-efficient, averaging around 15L/100km in the city, whereas the G63 easily exceeds 20L/100km.
