G63 Leg/Head Room
Hi all- I searched and couldn't find an answer so I am asking here. I am a big buy 6'5 250 and essentially a sort of shaved Yeti. My wife wants a G63 listed locally from the same place I got mt GTR. She currently has a Defender that I have lifted etc. Before we drive through all the SF Bay traffic a question I have is- Does the G63 have a good deal of leg room? The Defender is tiny inside and I hate riding in it. I am hoping the G63 has better leg and head room in it. Also, I am about to go through my 2nd knee reconstruction surgery and I'd like to get either the G63 or the full size Range Rover she is also interested in before that since getting in to my GTR or the Defender post knee reconstruction would be comical (for anyone watching) when leaving the hospital.
Any thoughts on cabin space interior would be welcome- Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure about the legroom in the G, but the headroom is effectively unlimited. ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Are you looking at a 2019+ G63 or an up to 2018?
The Previous owner of my truck (2005) was 6'5" and said the truck was great for him, but he also drove a Mini Cooper S. I'm only 5'8" and the headroom is obviously ample, but the leg room isn't that great. With the seat all the way back, you may have enough leg room to be comfortable, but there will be no room in the back for anyone.

She found a low mileage 2017 with the entire Brabus catalog attached to it.
The only time I think she will let me drive it is when she sends me on an errand. She is a Cambridge educated lawyer and I gave up reading our premarital contract on page 93 so I may only be allowed to buy it but not drive it. I'll have my attorney ask her

I am lucky that she is picking me up at the hospital and getting in there with a massive leg brace is my primary concern. I am too big in general for this world

Hah! You missed the key points on page 94 guaranteed.
If there's no one in the back, it'll probably be fine. The seating position may not be ideal for someone as tall as you, most notably the total leg room and leg angle position, but will probably be ok overall if it's not a roadtrip length drive, which for the AMG G's, is only like 250 miles per tank.
The full size Range Rover would definitely be more comfortable in almost situation, but will tank in value all day, every day. The G63 will hold its value pretty well over time, depending of course how long you plan to keep it.

Yep I was just looking at depreciation and here in SF Bay they are essentially every other car/SUV/truck with Teslas being the next most popular. I am guessing if I can cram in to my GTR nicely I can get in to the G63 thanks again for the scoop!

The '19+ models improved the leg room, and the same 6 hour round trip is now much more enjoyable. I kind of feel like the shoulder room is a touch less though.

A Range Rover LWB would be a *much* more comfortable experience vs a G, but an entirely different one altogether.

Yeah Range Rovers are an option but they are way over done in this area. I feel like every other car is a RR or a Tesla and if nothing else that often creates service backlogs. I have had great experience with the local Mercedes dealer and my AMG GT R and that also helps sway me from the RR. Definitely an option though.
