Brabus G63

The Brabus g63 is undoubtedly among the most distinctive vehicles today owing to its boxy, utilitarian appearance from the 70s. This G-class model, Brabus g63, is appreciated for its expressive exterior styling as the technology and performance are less impressive than the bodywork design. Getting behind its wheels, however, there is a feeling of power and authority as it greatly handles just about any terrain.  

Its technical underpinnings and styling are heavily influenced by the original armored truck, and its interior is quite sophisticated. Only a few SUVs may be up to the task of equaling the G-blend Class’s elegance and adventure, and its off-road prowess is just as remarkable as its appearance.

The Guile Features of the Brabus g63

This Brabus model is similar to its predecessors; there are only a few adjustments to some features and color choices. It offers a cosmetic upgrade, including carbon fiber splitters, low-profile spoilers, body kits, and multi-piece aluminum wheels. The racing LSDs, 12-piston disc brakes, and open racing exhaust setups are also available for upgrades, with a choice for engine overhauls or new crate engines customized and an engine remapping.

The Brabus g63 is confined to using the older infotainment system version rather than the Mercedes-Benz COMAND system. Although it’s a good system, its functionality is very constrained. For instance, the voice recognition interfaces could be better and more varied, and the navigation display and controls could be more advanced. It also comes with a remote stolen vehicle tracking, a 10-inches touchscreen, HDMI ports, USB, and a Wi-Fi entertainment system.

For the advanced driver aids, the adaptive cruise control is quite efficient, but it does not have a feature for traffic jams. The lane-keeping aids are subpar because they can go into action unexpectedly, requiring brakes to drag the vehicle back into line, making it unpredictable to other drivers.

Brabus’ Engine and Performance

The Brabus G63 vehicle runs on a 4.5-liter V8 engine, and its top speed has been electrically limited to 149 mph (240 kph) because of its hefty weight. It would be a great sight to see it zoom off with no speed limit, but Brabus knows better than to take the risk with ultimate freedom considering its body mass. The stability and traction control help to keep the wheels rooted to the ground while driving, should you get excited and decide to explore your driving skills.

The powerful engine was made possible when a custom billet crankshaft was installed alongside new forged pistons, as the engine’s stroke and bore were relatively increased. It gives off a muscular and amazing sound when igniting the start key. If you decide to use the auto start-stop system, be prepared for a disturbing and conflictual control task. However, the transmission is smooth and responds swiftly to the driver’s commands.

It allows for sharp steering, but generally, the steering Is weighted approximately and does not have a power sensation. It is challenging to navigate a tight space as the turning radius is wide. The ride feels like riding in a truck, but you hardly notice when you pass through bumps, and it avoids feeling busy on rough terrains.

The Explicit Design of the Exterior

The graphics of the body framework are unique. The spare tire installed in the back partially blocks the rearview and makes it difficult to see when revising the vehicle. The small side mirrors that would have been of great help provide a little more visibility. Although, customers have the free will to customize the body frame of the Brabus g63, widening it by 10 centimeters and allowing for massive 23-inch wheels.

At the rear, the cargo space is limited on the sides by heavy body intrusions, with its load floor, not that deep but high. It has a surround-view camera system, three-zone climate control, and a side-hinged gate which requires strength to lift as there is no power liftgate.

The Brabus g63 can tackle the task of going off the road, even though we’d be wary of misusing its sporty-looking 20-inch spokes. The G63 is designed for amazement, and its price reflects its capabilities and status.

The Interior Design

The seats are well-padded, supportive, and comfortable. However, the seats need to be bigger in comparison with the size of the truck, and the adjustable bolter at the sides needs to be more flexible for even lithe drivers. Also, the seats are somewhat high, demanding you to sit straight and upright to gain comfort, resulting in a serious user-friendly limitation.

The seats in the second row are not flattened when they fold, creating a limitation in storage space for personal items. An option is made available to install child seats with easily accessible car-seat anchor points.

The headrest is okay, but the step rail has a deeper problem than the seat cushion; it is too high to be effective. Inside, the vehicle is rather noise-proof as sounds from outside and other road traffic is calmly muted, except when cruising at freeway speed, where the wind noise is noticeable, mostly because of its upright styling.

Although the rear passenger capacity is adequate, it is harder than it should have been to get in and out due to the restricted range of action of the back doors. The shorter door passageways mean passengers must bend over when driving through a high step-up. The front window roof pillars are thick and erect, giving you a commanding view of the road ahead, but they are also built in a way that conceals pedestrians waiting to cross at a signal.

Body Kit of the Brabus g63

The body kit of this model comprises of:

– A back bumper with underride protection

– A front fender with DRLs

– Complete spare parts for the front and rear bumper flare replacement with composed apertures and end cap LEDs

– It must be painted before it is installed.

The Brabus body kit provides an extra 10 centimeters and manly crafted wheel arch flares that can be added to the width to give a new highlight, showing carefully positioned features. The rear and front wheel bumper attachments make the off-roader’s sides more attractive. The front and back bumper LED lights expose the Brabus logo embossed in the extensions, making it a sight of attention.

The bodywork upgrades also include a front case which transitions into the wheel arch flare and a rear fascia. These wheel arch flares create space for customized wheel combinations of 20 to 24 inches diameters. The composed LED position markers below the side vents add to the aesthetics and assist in safety.

Price of the Brabus G63

The Brabus G63 has a starting price of $160,000, but most cars cost much more than that because of all the customization options available. Instead of free scheduled maintenance, you can purchase prepaid maintenance plans for your G63 for an additional fee. The Brabus g63 with all its accessories will cost you $180,050.
