NEW 2020 Mercedes AMG G63 vs. OLD 2016 G63 AMG | Worth the Upgrade? 

Special thanks to J.D. for hooking it up yet again with his 2016 G63, and who was immensely disappointed when I brought it back clean as a whistle.

2016 g wagon = black coffee. 2020 g wagon = soy latte

Am I the only one that thinks the old one sounds better? No replacement for displacement.

The old one wins in my heart.

If we're talking pure value. Then of course the old one is better. It's never wise to buy the new version of anything unless you just have boatloads of money to blow.

Finally someone doing a awesome video of the G wagon and New generation G wagon. I have a 2017 G wagon I bought new and love it. Tired of reviews that give the last generation bad marks for being "old" and unrelevant. 2 thumbs up!

for emotional reasons: the old one for driving performance: the new one

Your videos go hard nicely done. The old G remind me of the H1 they’re just badass

Own a 2018 G 63 AMG...never change the more sophisticated one...

Hey bro!! Beautiful video and content! Keep it up👍

Hands down, one of THE BEST comparisons I’ve ever watched. And I watch a lot of them :)) More importantly, thanks for helping me to make my decision. Salute Yup! Gonna like and subscribe

The cinema I love your take on it bro I’m gonna watch the playlist through 1-46 good style bro great reviews

Awesome comparison!

In my opinion, I love the old one. The new one doesn't have much character and is just like the other Mercedes. Now looking at the leaks of the new EQG, it completely takes out the point of a G-Wagen. I know it sounds ridiculous, but the G-Wagen wasn't meant to be a luxurious vehicle. Yes, I know, shocker. Or rather- its purpose is a military vehicle that happens to have leather and heated seats BECAUSE it's Mercedes. But, I believe that when you buy something, you're paying for the product. The golden years of 2015-2018 of the Mercedes AMG G63 will be forever missed because what was provided was a characterful driving experience. Now, the new G-Wagens have sacrificed what made a G-Wagen, a G-Wagen in order to be modern, traditional, up-to-date, and luxurious, fitting the standards of a new vehicle. This is a common theme in the car industry but specifically in Mercedes. Take a look at the new S-Class/S-Class Maybach. The generation before 2021 was perfect; it was luxurious and timeless, and the focus was on the woods that were used, craftsmanship, and the person in the backseat, a true German luxury limousine. But now in 2021, Mercedes came out with a new model. While it's not awful, you can tell that the things that made the S-Class; the classic german limousine, has been sacrificed for technological reasons. It's just tech now, not necessarily a German luxury limousine like it used to be. I get it though, as changes need to be made but the problem is that models that were uniquely their own things such as the S-Class and the G-Wagen have now been sacrificed for the modern and new world. The point is, that the old G-Wagen is better because it has an actual driving experience that is unique. Where this car industry is going to land is that everyone's going to realize how all of the brands like Mercedes, BMW, Audi, etc have lost who they are in order to new and up-to-date. But brands like Maserati or even if we're talking higher-end like Bentley, Lamborghini, Ferrari and etc have kept who they were from day one.

Great video

great vid subscribed

The delay in the downshift is the trucks way of asking you are you sure your ready for this lol.

Nope was not made for the German military, the Shah of Iran commissioned Mercedes Benz to build him a military grade truck.

Very helpful

Introducing our resident race car driver steave. Watch !! As he does 120 mph threw a residential/industrial area 😂🤣. I was laughing so hard. Good good 🤌

Great comparison ❤

The new one is definitely the better daily, but i still have to give the edge to the outgoing model.

Great comparison and yes having a showdown drag race since it is obvious the new one would finish first. That said, the new one has to go on the fast list so a test it is warranted. Hope to see more of the resident race car driver

Cool stuff. Surprised you guys were able to get the old one for this video. Too bad a race didn't go down. Would've been interesting to watch.

Oooo I am looking forward to this one.

Amazing representation

Nice comparison !

Nice video

I love your cinematics so much, I want to also get a camera like this but not sure what to get, GH5 or Sony A7III.. But I’m pretty sure that both could do around the same with a stabilizer and some good effects in Adobe, right?

I got the 2016 amg g63 ... magno night black / blacked out /tune /muffler delete brabus front end ... sounds like a black hawk is coming or a tank or the cartel 😂 heaps new ones around here in the city they pop and bang but are not as menacing and don’t stand out as much as the classic ..unless it’s a brabus 19/20.. not just saying this cause I got the earlier one I was going buy the new one ... cartel = classic/ hairdresser =new the 5.5 is the go even if it’s less tech 💪🏼one but much love for all amg 💪🏼

Best review

Old: more masculine, powerful look New: more fem, better interior

Badass Video

Glad to see Nav branching out of rapping and doing YT car reviews

This is such a coincidence: CarWow’s (Mat Watson) recent upload was a comparison of the old versus new G Wagon too!

I am looking forward to this one.

"Luxurious Mob Vehicles.." Perfect way to put it..

Nice comparison.

I like the White

You know deep down you love the old one better. :). As much as I like the new G, the new 911, new Mustang, new whatever, I always go for the original.

Great comparison. The new one is better but not for the price

I have a 2003 and love it, maybe I'll upgrade one day but for now I'm car paymentless lol

Great spec for your G

New one sucks.. Especially the exterior.. The front - hood, side panels are way longer & looks out of promotion.. Nose job gone wrong.. Plus they made it slimmer & is no longer a box..

Beautiful

2017 happen to be my all time favorite and I owe myself one this year or next 1

does the new g wagon have the flood lights under the door panel?

My dude with the French Montana reference LMAO.

Uhhh....what's with the threads hanging on the bottom on steering wheel (starting at 5:35 in the video)?

Nice video but there is one little mistake you made 5:22 😬 The car doesnt do 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, it does 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. I think, because that’s what everyone says/shows who tested it. I would say; test the car and see for yourself!

I love this amg g63

Alright I’m here. Late, my apologies. Man, honestly the comparison visually both look so much different. It’s crazy how far the much needed redesign has come Rainy day, good day. 563hp is a lot more than I thought it had. Thank you genius guy. This car is pretty dope. Yes the ride is terrible and it’s so hard to turn the wheel lol AMG loves their exhausts! Turbo lag is detrimental to V motors these days. And yeah I remember the G63s gearbox lag when I drove them. It was strange. That shifter was just blegh Oh yes our favorite resident race car driver Honestly it’s not that bad. Wow! Doesn’t sound that extreme though. Just sounds lowkey. Did it just drop 3,000 rpm from 5-6th? Yeah I’ve seen supercharged versions of the G63 tht go 200mph. It’s scary Yeah the new G63 sounds a bit better. Better tuned exhaust They had to go with the 4.0L because of regulations in Coronavirus land (I’m sorry I couldn’t resist). More boost is why it has more power. And yeah the gearbox is STILL SLOW I know the struggle. Steering is much easier, all independent suspension no solid axles anymore. Love the interior. Looks better to drive. And yeah I agree with the crammed aspect. And yes all the accents are very well made, lots of options for customization. Yes much better ride for sure. Moonroof yes. Definitely the daily Lol Sean is still in his break in period Yeah the new G wagon looks so aggressive. I love how curvy it is. That’s nice. Old G wagon for nostalgia. You should go for it if your heart is in it Sean. By the way, make sure you don’t leave the lights set to parking lights for too long in the G wagon. It’ll kill the car 😂 Nice video. Wish we could’ve seen the new G63 go fast but it’s all good. It is your car after all Sean. I really think the redesign was well past due. The car just looked old and didn’t really fit in with all the newer cars. This redesign kept it classy but made it up to date with all the other cars. I’m a big fan of it. And I’m also glad they kept the side exit exhausts. They have giant mufflers to do that though. It’s pretty crazy.

Thinking to replace my cls 63 for the old G 63 amg

Here in Vegas the new ones are going for a minimum of $75,000 dollars over sticker!!!! It’s a bit hard to justify nearly 2Xs more for the new one.

it was made for shah of iran 1979 not for the german military

What he do that to French Montana 😅😂🤣 now French Hanna Montana is gonna go get a new g wagon now lollll

How can i get the kit

Why should I go for the old g63 for off-road when there is a g500?

Thinking about buying an old one, so I can track it but these things are pretty heavy 🤷🏾‍♂️

The old model win my heart ❤️

Still prefer the old

The man who asked MB for the build was the Shah of ايران 🇮🇷 Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

Looks like a car wow video they recently posted. Coincidence.

Honestly like the old one more & obviously the interior is gonna be better with new one..

A number of errors made on specs and info but overall pretty good video comparison.

i am confused which one should i buy Mercedes G63 or Range Rover sport SVR ???😫😥😩

Thats what I didn't like about the MB. I once had a GL550, their transmissions are slow, especially their manual paddles.

Just bought the old g63 can’t wait to pick it up tomorrow !

Not W464, both are using the W463 chassis.

G wagon was actually commissioned first by Shah of Iran and not German Military

Perhaps wash the cars next time u introduce them

Let me save you 9:34 ad answer the question: absolutely without a doubt "YES".

my dad has the old one but idk your car says 180 but for my dad it says 280

2016 megusta

The new one is better as a pavement princess but the 463 is a better machine for off-roading.

Old for sure!

The old version remain the best

Old one better, solid axles front and and back, dash nicer than new one just electronic shit

I like the old one better sounds better and best think I can afford it

so you mean the new one is not as 'rugged' as the old one? not as durable? not as what exactly?

Old g wagon = french new G wagon = fifty

Question is that is the 2020 worth the premium over the 2016? $70-90K vs $140k msrp for the 2020 which we know mercedes depreciate hard. I dont care how much money i have , Ill wait , the price difference of a 4 year difference car being about $60k is a bit much and will lower over a year or so. Then again, 70% of mercedes are leased. no wonder why.

Old one is 1000tines better, will take it any day

If you own a G63, chances are you have some extra cash to blow away and you won't mind an upgrade even you are not getting your money's worth.

Los Angeles county should give to the unhomeless too

Old one looks German. New one looks... American...not in a good way.

You buy this vehicle because MB has put a Jedi mind trick on you. Outrageous over priced!

the new one is nice but the new one comes at a much higher price tag - if you were going to buy a old one go with the limited version 463 model which will hold its value and has some extra bits

The new one in my opinion looks not as intimidating as the old one because I’m the new one you see it and think social media influencer, celebrity or crypto mogul… with the first generation g wagon you think “oh shit am I late on my payments” to any Eastern European mafioso or when you see 4 identical ones with red and blue lights on the front you know someone very powerful like a dictator is in the Maybach in the middle!

Owned a 15 G wagon and test drove the new one. 100% worth it. They are two completely different beasts. The 2020 makes it a true luxury SUV rather than just a flash status symbol.

Oi dude, the ZF transmissions are as good as if not better than mercedes's transmissions

It was made for the Shah of Iran. But he got deposed.

G Wagon was made for the Shah of Iran... (not the German Military, that happened after)

I am big fan 2016

992 TURBO S & OLD G63 AMG.... They just made the new G63 AMG for soccer mums

The old one looks German.

I got the 2020 g63 same color. Best truck\suv!

I like it dirty 😈

I choose 2016.a real boxy gwagen

Old g >>>
