Neither car is light, but you can sense the extra mass in the AMG, exacerbated by the fact that it’s 23cm taller than the Bentayga. That new engineering means it’s up to 170kg lighter than its predecessor, but at 2,560kg it’s far from a featherweight and still tips the scales at 172kg more than the Bentley. It exhales through the G 63’s trademark – a pair of fat side exhausts – and the prodigious power is sent to all four wheels through a nine-speed automatic box.

That’s what we have here, in Mercedes-AMG G 63 form. So it’s fair to say this military motor-turned-exclusive SUV was due for a refresh. The Mercedes G-Class has always been one of the biggest and boldest SUVs, but despite many fairly significant revisions over its life, the first-generation civilian G-Class’s roots went all the way back to the late seventies. Image is everything in the world of ultra-luxurious SUVs and none nails the brief more effectively than the pairing we’ve lined up here.
