The Mercedes-Benz G-Class aka G-Wagon aka G-Wagen, is the darling of all the enthusiasts in the UAE. The off-road SUV delivers an exceptional blend of panache, performance and dune bash-ability, making it extremely desirable. How do you stand out in a popular and common car? Enter the Onyx G7X.
It’s a customized version of the G63 AMG created by a British company called Onyx Concept. The standard top-spec version of the G63 AMG is given a flamboyant appeal with a bit more oomph to its looks, interiors and under the bonnet to create something truly special.
In this week’s edition of Exotic Car Of The Week on DubiCars, we are taking a look at the extremely rare Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG Onyx G7X. Let’s find out what makes this extremely rare. Read this linked article to know the history of the G-Class.
Feature Model Details
Our Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG Onyx G7X from Dourado Luxury Car is 1 of 5 models made by Onyx Concept that features some exclusive touches. The ODO has less than 100km on it and is ready to be part of your exotic car garage. And if you love the combination of Nardo Grey paint scheme or a loud interior colour or both, you find this G7X extremely appealing.
Exterior Design — Onyx Package
If you think the standard G63 looks menacing, Onyx has dialled the design of the G7X up to 11. The Nardo grey paint scheme is well-complemented by the wide body kit, flared wheel arches and the large 24-inch alloy wheels. However, the highlight has to be the beefy forged carbon bonnet enclosing the tuned engine.
Other Onyx exterior upgrades include:
- Forged carbon rear diffusers
- Forged carbon laser lights roof bar
- Forged carbon front bumper element
- Forged carbon rear aero spoiler
- Onyx bespoke quad exhaust tips
- Forged carbon spare tyre cover
- Forged carbon mirror housing
- Forged carbon door handle
Interior Design — Onyx Package
If you think the exterior was overwhelming, then the Mandarine Orange leather upholstery along with black contrast stitching certainly is a conversation starter. The overall layout remains unchanged, however, there are several beautifications done to the interiors:
- Piano black air vent covers
- Onyx door sills
- Onyx aluminium pedals
- Steering Wheel decked in Orange leather
- Orange floor mats
Technology
The technology bit remains unchanged from the standard G63. It continues to be a dual 12.3-inch display setup for the highly customisable instrument cluster and infotainment featuring MBUX driver assistance.
Our feature models also come equipped with premium Burmester audio, dual-zone climate control, ambient lighting and Level 2 ADAS to provide a comfortable and safe journey.
Engine & Performance — Onyx Tuned
The 4.0-litre turbocharged engine is tuned to deliver extra oomph to this luxury offroader. The power figures are up from 577hp to 730hp. It continues to be paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and the 4Matic+ AWD system for exceptional off-road performance.
Driving Impressions
The G63 has always been a poised off-road SUV. However, Onyx has upgraded the Airmatic suspension components to make it stiffer providing a more rigid and solid feel. While the on-road performance gets a bit bouncy, the true potential of the reworked suspension comes into play when the terrain gets rougher or treacherous.
Review Verdict
The Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG Onyx G7X is for those who crave a unique blend of luxury, performance, and exclusivity. With only 5 units made, it is also an extremely desirable collector’s car. Find this Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG G7X for sale on DubiCars from Dourado Luxury Car.
