2025 G550 is NOT being downgraded to a V6
More confirmation that the 2025 G550 is being downgraded to a V6, which is a real shame as I think the 2019-2024 G550 is the best value G wagon on the market.

I actually just sold back my 2024 G63 to my dealer for $25k more than I paid for it. I love the G63 but always found my myself picking my 2021 G550 every morning. Would have picked up a 2025 G550 if they kept the V8 in it…

I believe the article states that the 2025 G550 will use the highly regarded 48-volt mild-hybrid inline-six turbo.
This excellent engine is a response to BMW's lauded B58 inline-six turbo, a better choice than the V8 in many instances.

Will this mild hybrid have its motor/generator integrated with the transmission, or will it be a gen 1 configuration hanging on the engine?

I also have a BMW with the inline-six turbo and imo it is a downgrade from the V8 M176 due to the turbo lag.

.
The MB 3.0L inline-6 turbo makes 429 HP in the AMG GT 53 and yields 24 MPG.
Less time spent at a fueling station and being able to drive further on a single tank may be appealing to people who value their time.

Regulations are the obvious answer, but Im sure Mercedes will enjoy charging more for a 6 cylinder next year compared to the current G550.
Yes it will have better mileage than the V8; but if mileage/range are a major concern, then not sure why one would opt for something that has the aero of a filing cabinet. This car is already ridiculous, so the V8 just adds to the fun and losing it is not a positive despite how some are trying to spin it.

@tonygwagon curious about why you prefer your 2021 G550 vs the ‘24 G63 you sold back? What makes you happy/sad about the two? I have a 2023 G550 and could not justify in my head spending $50-75k more for a G63.

When I had the choice I also ordered a G550 vice the G63. I drove them both and while I could afford either I still picked the G550 since it made more sense at the price point. However, I am going electric this time around!

As a counter point the G63 will keep its value better, so that's one way to rationalize the increase in price, although I will say the delta was much easier to rationalize in 2021 than in 2024.

Given MB had yearly price increases for the same exact G63 from 2019 onwards, I'm not looking forward to what the increase will be now that they can point to it having more power, new suspension and upgraded tech/infotainment as excuses.

Hi guys - currently top of list to get a 2025 G63... any information on it? Dealer hasn't received anything yet... i will get charged an ADM... east coast dealer but i will fair better than others who dont have as strong of a relationship... no way these will go for msrp! The question is how much of an adm is palatable. dealer said i will be happier than others so i will take that!
also, when i stopped in to say to hi to my GM, i walked out buying a new 2024 AMG GT 53 and the last of the CLS450's... omg... love both... GT insane to drive and CLS never should have been discontinued... feels like a sporty S class which my parents have.
now i got use to MBUX and love it and cant wait to have in new G63.
will trade in my 2022 G63 with sticker of 212k and only 11k miles on it so hopefully will get a good trade
benz is killing it.

Good catch! The article mentions keyless go. That will be weird to have keyless entry on these cars.
Also looks like they are changing the hood ornament to an AMG badge like others on this forum have already done!
