Mercedes G-Wagon 4x4² vs 6x6: Which One Is Right for You?

Power & Performance

Both models are built for domination, but the G63 AMG 6x6 takes the crown in brute force. With six driven wheels, portal axles, and a twin-turbocharged V8, it was engineered for military-grade terrain. Meanwhile, the 4x4² uses similar portal axles and lifted suspension on a smaller footprint, offering extreme off-road capability while staying street-friendly.

• G63 6x6: More extreme, better for collectors or desert runs.

• 4x4²: More practical for daily use and mountainous terrain.

Size & Usability

The 6x6 is massive – over 6 meters long – which makes it less maneuverable and harder to park or use in tight urban settings. The 4x4², while still large, fits into normal parking spaces and can be driven more comfortably on European roads.

• 6x6: Ultra-wide, intimidating, show-stopper.

• 4x4²: Still wild, but easier to handle.

Tuning Potential

Both models are incredibly popular in the world of tuning. At Autounieke, we offer full conversion kits for turning your standard W463 or W463A into a 4x4² or even a full 6x6 replica.

Whether you want a carbon fiber widebody, custom Brabus-style bumpers, or LED-integrated fenders, both platforms are ideal. The 6x6 just offers more visual real estate.

Price & Rarity

The G63 6x6 is extremely rare and commands a premium price, often exceeding €800,000 on the secondary market. The 4x4² is more affordable (around €250,000–€300,000) and easier to find or convert.
