2025 G63 Carbon fiber steering wheel

Hi guys,
Waiting to pick up bnew 2025 g63 at the dealer.
Car has been delivered with standard nappa leather L6J instead of the CF trim L6H.
their excuse is MB is in a shortage of this trim and no AMG car is getting the CF steering wheel actually..
Can anyone with recent delivery or next to it confirm this claim?
I smell bulls***.
thanks anyway

It has been an intermittent problem. My CF steering wheel was switched to Nappa + microfiber (which I like) whereas another forum member was able to configure the CF steering wheel one month later.

I have an incoming ‘25 G63 with the L6H AMG performance carbon/micro fiber steering wheel, it was ordered sept ‘24 with ETA end of February/March and as of today it’s still listed on the spec sheet and hasn’t been changed.

good to know, mine arrived at the dealer yesterday and CF Steering was a no show and they didn't tell me anything in advance.
I've not paid the extra but we have to sort a deal to have it installed, not at spare parts price...

I was disappointed when my 2025 showed up without the CF steering wheel. Surprisingly, I like the leather/microfiber steering wheel better than the CF steering wheel on my 2023. I like the feel, it has better grip, and is warmer in the winter.

The one I’ve ordered will have the Carbon Fiber Steering wheel, but I suspect it may be why production was pushed back five weeks at one point.

Same as me. It’s on the Morning Lucy ship. I am assuming yours is also.

Im going to make them get me one at option price if it’s a no show. I didn’t order a 220K vehicle for them to play fast an loose with the options.

As a data point, My 2025 G63 that was delivered this past November was ordered with and came with the CF steering wheel.

if the L6H option is experiencing shortage, I wonder if there's any correlation to it's allocation to builds that was ordered with the Performance Package vs. without.

My build was delayed from Dec to Jan and is currently at the VPC waiting on a carrier for pickup. VIN assigned and I asked for the monroney sticker and the MSRP and options are still showing L6H. Dealer confirmed no changes to the build sheet as well so hoping thats what actually arrives. I have a 24 with this CF wheel and really like the microfiber side grips especially with the heated option for the winter.

Perfect….. off topic question: which ship did yours arrive on, mine arrived at Baltimore VPC on Feb 11 and has been sitting there for a while.

it was on Cygnus Leader which arrived to port 2/24 and vehicle arrived on dealer lot 2/26. Not sure why yours is taking longer, maybe you ordered some VPC installed options and they’re still working on it? You may want to talk to your sales rep and see if they’ve got any updates. My rep told me he put in a request for expedited delivery, I’m west coast if that’s matters.

Thanks - it was processing at VPC from Feb 11 until the 20th I believe. After that it’s just listed as released to carrier. The dealer did call to expedite but were told they are waiting on the transport as well. It could arrive any day so we will see and will let everyone know if I didnt get the CF steering wheel.

Congrats! On a side note I think the CF wheel combined with CF interior trim is the cream of the crop.

For the US Market, the former cannot be specced without the latter.
