2019 Mercedes-Benz G Class G63 AMG

The G63 is the car that took the G-Wagen from boxy military heritage to hyper-SUV territory, and this 2019 example shows why it still commands attention. Under the bonnet sits AMG's hand-built 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, producing 577 bhp and 850 Nm, which the page quotes with a 137 mph top speed. Power goes through a nine-speed automatic to all four wheels, with the 0-62 mph sprint dispatched in around 4.5 seconds.

This one has covered just 21,481 miles, which is low for a 2019 car and helps preserve the cabin and the underbody that ladder-frame G-Classes are judged on. It is finished in grey and is equipped with three-zone Thermotronic climate control, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel and a sliding electric sunroof with one-touch operation. It also has Bluetooth hands-free connectivity and a 3,500 kg towing capacity, which keeps the practical side intact.

The G63 has held its value better than most performance SUVs, thanks to its distinctive shape, the sound of its V8 and a build quality rooted in the Graz factory. At this mileage, a 2019 car sits in the sweet spot of the post-2018 generation, which brought a more modern chassis and interior while keeping the look of the original.
