Arabian Gray is like no other gray (interior is black/titanium pearl)

[QUOTE=Hodog16;8984371]Mercedes does this all the time, sitting on cars until the release date. Nothing you can do until it shows up but awesome it’s already built.

Do you have any idea when that release might be? I think i got excited a bit too fast and now i got the sad news… do you think it’s gonna take meaybe a week or two? Or more ?

Thanks for the photos.. I agree .. It is an amazing looking car.. Can’t wait to see it in the flesh…

Hodog16

Well no way for any of us to know, but I wouldn't get too bent out of shape about it--it'l show up eventually!

This is great! Any news on when the G63 order guide will be ready?

2025 G63 and G580 are passing through Cincinnati today driven by the field rep...excitement abounds!

Pics or it didn't happen!

Was it the Edition One G580?

nsgymd

My sales associate viewed the cars at the dealership and the hotel where they resided overnight. Here are his pictures (sorry but no wide exterior shots of the G580). The G550 was also there (no pictures).

I arrived at 8 am and the G63 and G580 were out and about.

Thanks. And there is verification of bull bars on the US models.

Hodog16

Interesting so the burgundy car has the carbon fiber package but gets silver bull bar? I was expecting a carbon bull bar also.

I spoke with my SR. He told me that most brush guards/bull bars (whichever you like to call them) are now illegal in EU and UK. Apparently, a study was done recently and it showed collisions involving pedestrians and vehicles equipped with them caused a higher level of fatalities.

They are still legal in the US, so I think we can anticipate them on the '25's.

As per German/UK configurators the exterior carbon package and the night packages are separate. Looks like it will be the same in NA where you will need the night package to get a blacked out brush guard.
As for it being carbon, that was never shown in any of the reviews of being an option and I personally think it doesn't make sense since the purpose of a brush guard is to be the first point of contact or to protect from debris/offroading.

Also I don't really get the carbon in other sensitive areas (like the under guard), but to each his own. I would however, like to replace the side strip with the carbon one if MB will allow me to purchase that part after delivery and just replace.

Yea I cant see or would want a carbon fiber brush guard.. I dont even love carbon exterior packages ..expensive to fix.. I order most with black gloss... night package/ night package two/ night package plus

Bull bars are still standing equipment in the USA as they are included on the 2025 G550 Edition One.

Serban Gavrila

I just got the info that the release date for Europe is 18 of July ( 2024 ).

Does anyone know any other info about this ?

Any word yet on US Allocations for 2025 G63?

I would think next month (in the US), after the release takes place.

Thanks for the guides. So many typos!

Nice. I like that in the G580 guide it states that "Edition 1 will be exclusively available for CY24. Available in five uniquely selected Paint Finish"

Maybe there is still hope I can spec one for the 2025 MY!

nsgymd

The order guide shows "AMG Suspension with adaptive damping adjustment" as standard equipment. The AMG Performance Package (DC2) includes AMG Active Ride Control suspension (A22).

I assume that these are different since you can option the DC2 package. Does anyone know the difference?

Tomshop

Interesting that the electric is being release late summer and G63 is Q4.

Hodog16

My take-home point was that to get the A22 you either have to get AMG performance or the offroad pro package.

In the German configurator it was a stand-alone option but does not look like it here? I know it has an option code but I don't see it listed a la carte.

What's funny is the 2024 order guide says ride control is standard:

powershot24

Exactly right @Hodog16 ; noticed the same thing and am disappointed AMG Active Ride Control is not available separately in the U.S., at least on the 25s.

Does anyone know yet whether one can order 21” wheels or wheels other than the techgold wheels (RP5) with the AMG Performance Package? @nsgymd helpfully mentioned the German configurator allowed a person to order the Performance Package and then change the wheel design. Hope that can be done in the U.S. as well.

Also noticed in the U.S. Order Guide that black running boards and the black exhaust system are only available as part of the Night Package Plus. With the German configurator these could be added when ordering the “regular” Night Package if one wanted the black running boards and exhausts without the black wheel arches that come with the Night Package Plus.

Finally, very well may have missed it, but am not seeing any mention of a heated steering wheel. Is that standard equipment now? Hardly a deal breaker but curious if anyone has any insights.

Many thanks for posting the order guides, @Eaton !
