Mercedes says power is available across a wide rev range between 2.500 and 3.500 rpm.

This gives the G63 a sprint from zero to 100 km/h of 4.5 seconds, with and electronically limited

maximum speed of 220 km/h, or 240 km/h with the AMG Driver‘s package.

The G63 was designed with a focus on both high performance off-roading as well as on-road performance.
