In the market of a Pre-Owned G63 (2018 and older)

We have narrowed down our decision from a Range Rover to a G63.

Currently, I’ve owned a W211 E63 for almost 10 years.

Any feedback to help me with the purchase would be greatly appreciated? Particularly, what could be potentially problematic or expensive to repair? For example, my E63 is known for camshaft adjuster, headbolt, camshaft lifter, etc. failures and a pricey airmatic suspension to maintain. I would like to know what the G63 has?

Range Rover, M5
I'm in a similar boat. Currently in a L322 Range Rover and has been pretty much bullet proof other than replacing an air shock, radiator leak, and fuel pump. Debating switching from RR to G63...the newer rounder body style RR doesn't do it for me...although the G63 can't touch the RR in comfort/luxury

2019 G63
The Gs are bullet proof. I have had quite a few and never had problems with them.

Is this going to be your daily driver? If so, the Range Rover is far nicer, more luxurious, better driving and more comfortable than a pre 2019 G-Class. Especially the 2018+ Range Rovers. I have a 2019 G63 and a 2019 Range Rover Autobiography and I think the Range is one of the best vehicles I have ever owned, as is the new G63. Both are much better than the pre 2019 G63s.

The 2018 and older G-Classes are iconic but you'll quickly tire of if you have to drive it every day.

Great question. This will be a DD for my wife to replace the Cayenne GTS. For creature comforts, the RR is the way to go. However, I’m not impressed at all with the feedback in reading about malfunctions and electrical bugs. I haven’t read anything about the G63 having any major mechanical or electrical issues. The maintenance for our Cayenne GTS is quite high ($5k/ur for the last 3 years averaging $345/mo since purchasing it in 7/2011.
