Mercedes-Benz India has launched the Mercedes-AMG G 63 ‘Offroad PRO’ in the country at a starting price of Rs 3.80 crore (ex-showroom), introducing the first dedicated off-road-focused version of the performance SUV for Indian buyers. Built on the standard AMG G 63, the Offroad PRO adds AMG-specific off-road hardware and visual enhancements aimed at improving all-terrain capability, and will be sold only in limited numbers. Compared to the regular AMG G 63, the Offroad PRO carries a premium of around Rs 6 lakh.
Commenting on the launch, Santosh Iyer, Managing Director and CEO, Mercedes-Benz India, said the company is confident that AMG G 63 enthusiasts will be excited by this latest addition to the G 63 stable.

| Parameter | Details |
| Engine | 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 (3,982cc) |
| Electrification | 48V mild-hybrid system with integrated starter-generator |

Off-Road Hardware –
This is where the Offroad PRO differentiates itself most from the regular G 63:
- AMG Active Ride Control suspension – combines adaptive damping with active hydraulic roll stabilisation for greater axle articulation on uneven terrain
- AMG Active Balance Control – offers three stages of roll-stiffness adjustment across off-road drive programmes
- AMG Traction PRO – active in Rock and Sand modes; manages braking torque at individual wheels with seven selectable locking levels to help the vehicle regain traction, including in deep sand
Mercedes-Benz notes these are manufacturer claims, and real-world performance will depend on terrain, tyres and driving inputs.
Rivals –
In India, the G-Class range sits largely on its own, but buyers cross-shopping at this price point may also consider the Range Rover and Land Rover Defender in ultra-luxury off-road-capable SUV territory.
Autonote Take –
Mercedes
At Rs 3.80 crore before on-road costs, the G 63 Offroad PRO targets a very narrow slice of the luxury SUV market. Its real significance lies in giving G-Class buyers an equipment-led choice within the range — one where adjustable suspension and traction systems back up the rugged looks rather than being purely cosmetic. The limited allocation fits Mercedes-Benz’s broader focus on its top-end portfolio, though with no disclosed sales targets or delivery timeline, it’s hard to gauge how much demand this variant will see. For prospective buyers, the decision ultimately comes down to how much value they place on the specialized off-road hardware and expedition-ready equipment — features that define this version’s identity, while the familiar V8 punch and luxurious cabin keep the core G 63 appeal intact.
