Designed Exclusively for India: What Makes It Special?
This Collector’s Edition is not just a G-Wagon with cosmetic upgrades. It’s the result of a close collaboration between Mercedes-Benz India and the Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India (MBRDI) team.
Key highlights:
- Two India-only MANUFAKTUR colours:
- Mid Green Magno
- Red Magno
These shades reflect the vibrancy and uniqueness of Indian culture while preserving the iconic G-Class silhouette.
- One-of-a-kind personalization features:
- Custom grab handle with the owner’s name engraved
- “One of Thirty” badge on the spare wheel
- Unique exterior trim and Collector’s Edition branding
Interior: Handcrafted Luxury Meets Sporty DNA
Inside the cabin, Mercedes has gone all out with:
- Two-tone Nappa leather upholstery in Catalana Beige/Black
- Open-pore walnut wood trim
- 22-inch Tech Gold cross-forged AMG wheels
These luxurious touches are not just visual upgrades—they reflect handcrafted AMG quality with a personal flair.
Performance: The AMG G 63 Heart Still Beats Strong
While the Collector’s Edition is focused on personalization, the powerful AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine remains untouched, delivering:
- 585 hp
- 850 Nm of torque
- AMG-specific performance tuning with a 0–100 km/h time of just 4.5 seconds
Combine that with off-road capability, AMG Ride Control, and Dynamic Select, and this G 63 remains a performance powerhouse under the skin.
Delivery Timeline & Customization Promise
The G 63 Collector’s Edition will be delivered starting Q4 2025. More importantly, this launch marks a significant milestone in Mercedes-Benz India’s MANUFAKTUR program, suggesting more market-specific, made-to-order models could follow soon.
Mercedes-Benz hasn’t officially announced the price yet, but expect it to command a premium over the standard G 63, which currently retails at over ₹2.85 crore (ex-showroom). Given the bespoke touches and rarity, this could easily cross ₹3.5 crore or more.
This isn’t just a luxury SUV. For collectors and enthusiasts:
- It’s a rolling piece of art, tailored for India.
- Ownership is ultra-exclusive—you’re 1 in only 30.
- It’s a status symbol, with personalized touches you won’t get anywhere else.
Our Take
“With the G 63 Collector’s Edition, Mercedes is offering more than just luxury—it’s offering a sense of identity. For India, this marks a shift toward more meaningful automotive personalization.”

MG M9 Review: Your Lounge On the Go
As SUVs continue to dominate headlines, MPVs are quietly carving a luxury niche of their own. In this rising wave, MG has entered the battlefield with its most premium vehicle yet — the MG M9, an all-electric luxury MPV aimed squarely at India’s chauffeur-driven elite.
With rivals like the Kia Carnival (₹64 lakh) and Toyota Vellfire (₹1.22 crore) in sight, the MG M9 seeks to offer Vellfire-like comfort at a more accessible price. And though a full review is embargoed till July 10, we got to experience the most important aspect — the rear seat.
Key Highlights at a Glance
| Category | Score | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Rear Seat Comfort | 9/10 | Recliner-style seats, massage, ventilation |
| Features & Tech | 9/10 | JBL audio, ambient lighting, air purifier |
| Refinement | 8/10 | Quiet electric drivetrain, low cabin noise |
| Ride Quality | 7/10 | Smooth at speed, busy at low speeds |
| Value (Est.) | 8/10 | Vellfire experience at a lower price |
Dimensions & Engineering: Big, Bold, and Electric
- Length: 5.27 metres
- Width: 2 metres
- Height: 1.8 metres
- Wheelbase: 3.2 metres
- Wheels: 19-inch alloy rims with Continental ContiSeal self-healing tyres
- Battery: 90kWh NMC, mounted underfloor
- Drivetrain: Front-wheel drive via a single front motor
The MG M9 dwarfs most MPVs in its class. Its sheer size not only commands presence but translates to a lavish interior space. Underneath the sculpted skin lies a monocoque platform with a flat floor for maximized interior room.
Rear Seat Comfort: A Business-Class Experience
Supremely Plush Middle Row (9/10)
The M9 doesn’t just have seats — it has armchairs. The middle-row captain seats are wide, deeply cushioned, and wrapped in a mix of suede and perforated leather. They offer:
- 16-way power adjust including recline, headrest, legrest & slide
- Ventilation, heating & massage (8 modes)
- One-touch memory settings for quick relaxation
- Panoramic rear sunroof
- Ambient lighting (64 colours)
- Dedicated middle-row climate zone
- Rear entertainment screens (accessory)
At full extension, with the legrest up and the back reclined, it feels no less than a business-class airline seat on wheels.
3rd Row Space: Practical, but Compromised
The third row, accessed through a pass-through between the middle-row seats, is spacious enough for three adults. However:
- No middle headrest or fold-down armrest
- Cramped legroom if middle-row seats are fully extended
- No sunshades for third-row windows
It’s best used occasionally, and definitely not with VIP-level comfort in mind.
Features & In-Cabin Tech: Loaded for Luxury (9/10)
MG has gone all out on creature comforts:
- 13-speaker JBL sound system
- Air purifier integrated
- Ambient lighting all around
- Control screen in the middle-row armrest
- Panoramic sunroof for rear occupants
- Electric sliding doors with controls on the fob, B-pillar & dashboard
However, a few misses stand out:
- Manual sunshades for second-row windows
- None for the third row
- The armrest-mounted control screen can be hard to read or reach in certain seat positions
Performance & Ride Quality
Refinement: Near Silent (8/10)
The M9 is whisper-quiet on the move, with well-isolated road and wind noise. There’s only a faint hum from the electric motor at crawling speeds.
Ride Comfort: Stiff at Low Speeds (7/10)
While high-speed stability is excellent, low-speed ride over bumps can feel a bit busy. The suspension is tuned more for poise than plushness — something MG could have softened for city driving.
Price & Verdict (Estimated: ₹90 Lakh)
The M9 will debut under MG’s new ‘MG Select’ premium retail network, sharing showroom floors with upcoming models like the Cyberster EV sports car.
Though MG hasn’t revealed pricing yet, expect it to slot between the Carnival and the Vellfire — around ₹90 lakh (ex-showroom).
Our Take: For the Chauffeur-Driven Elite
The MG M9 is unapologetically built around one mission — to pamper the rear seat occupant. And in that, it succeeds brilliantly. The sheer comfort, refinement, and electric mobility it offers could make it a go-to for CEOs, executives, and anyone who values true backseat luxury.
But MG’s biggest challenge might not be rivals — it’s brand perception. Will the MG badge command respect in the ₹90 lakh club? That’s the story to watch unfold.
