Meet the Brabus G700!
It’s an absolutely raucous, in-your-face version of the regular AMG G63. The question is, is it an improvement over the regular G-wagon? And does it warrant the eye-watering £300,000 starting price?!
For starters, let’s check out the design. As with any Brabus, it comes with even wider wheel arches than the standard G and redesigned front and rear bumpers. It also comes with several Brabus badges in place of where you would normally find a Mercedes 3-pointed star, and there are a whole load of fake vents around the wheel arches, as well as a huge scoop on the bonnet that leads absolutely nowhere!
Step inside and the G700 is all pretty similar to the regular G63. The only difference you’ll find are the green inserts on the seats, as well as many Brabus logos throughout. But otherwise, you wouldn’t know you're in a Brabus instead of an AMG!
One area where there’s been a big change is the engine! Under the bonnet, you’ll still find a a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, but it’s had a new ECU fitted, so as a result it now puts down 700h and 950Nm! This power is sent to all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic gearbox.
So it’s about as in-your-face as it gets, but is it really worth around £100,000 more than a regular AMG G63? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

You must do brabus 6×6
They don’t kick you on the ass anymore when you say Nurbergring?
Please start doing metric conversions into your videos as text overlays. Most of the world has no idea what 15.5 MPG means. Is it good. is it bad?. And UK MPG is not even equal US MPG. .. same with miles,feet, pounds .... please be Metric friendly.

Brabus: so how much of a knob would you like to look?
Customer: yes.
Yanni: Yes.
@@pippipster6767 lmao 🤣 brutal
Fucking horrendous 😢
It’d be excruciatingly embarrassing to be seen anywhere near this, let alone inside it.
15.5mpg for a 700Hp brick doesnt seem to bad actually.
Has the aerodynamics of a billboard.
Idk where you're from but that translates to 12.9 US mpg or 5.5 Kmpl
700bhp SUV feels like 400bhp Sedan.
And an extra £14 per mile in depreciation
@@bernardoramos7842 not bad
😂😂😂😂😂 re: aerodynamics of a billboard 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🍻
Lol this really has a giant fake scoop on the hood 😂
an d why not a fake scoop on the roof?
Brabus going for maximum fuel inefficiency... I'm guessing the fleet average doesn't apply to them lol.
Such an embarrassing car 🤦🏼♂️
It really screams:
"Hey, look at me, I'm fkn stoopid and insecure AF!"
It's stuck on with double-sided tape. Not a joke, see the build videos.
@@Jakrabat94 I'm pretty sure that hood scoop is literally insecure af... Apparently it's held on with gorilla glue tape.
So that'll be fun when it eventually degrades and comes flying at the windscreen. Or someone else's windscreen.
The exhaust pipes on the original are beautiful, why replace them with ugly ones that look old and damaged 😂
Was about to comment this exact same thing 😂 wtf are those exhaust tips?
@@HKA-TRADING like everything Brabus about it is supposed to be like a statement but then they uglify the exhaust pipes for some reason... Make up your mind Brabus
did you even watch video and listen???? matt literally says about it! iidots
@@HKA-TRADINGstraight from Walmart
they do look nice, just needs some cleaning, it’s about making it look raw and aggressive. Old Brabus mercs used to have 2 angled raw looking pipes. I think it looks good.
I'm starting to show my age, 10 years ago I would have thought this was the coolest thing on the road, now I think it's completely ridiculous
lol fr
Well it's marketed to the demographic that have no taste
@@bmstylee lol that screams a lot of rappers
@@RealG23__ rappers. Celebrities. Athletes. I wonder if the left back from Cheshire United will be ordering one.
@@bmstylee oh definitely
It looks like someone had fun on Aliexpress, the fake vents are peak comedy..
Not only they are fake, they are rattling
I thought this guy was quitting carwow??
I do respect the fact that Brabus gives you an option not to buy fake vents and hood scoop, but people still do just so people would see they spent 300k on a car.
01:24 the wonky lettering 😂
OMG thats so bad!
Make the vents actually work or get rid of them. What kind of statement is that massive fake hood intake? That you like fake stuff?
I bet about 100% of people owning these are in fact fake people 🙃
Small D energy, for sure.
Agree. If the vents actually added cooling, great. Otherwise, ridiculous.
@@eastbaystreet1242 even if you don't need it. make some holes and direct air anywhere, say this is for cooling car battery whatever, anything would work
it's a brabus, it's not about being good it's about looking like a tit. Why buy an "offroad" vehicle and put pavement princess wheels on it? There are so many things wrong with it as a car, it's just about image.
What are you talking about? Those fake vents are for the dealers to hide their stash.
Yh it looks like a lego car... and the fake vents just tops it off lol it just screams... I'm insecure 😅
Car for people with oversized body size and little pricks.
Lego cars?
Lol it doesn’t scream it as loud as your comment does 🎉
@TheMuddatrucker aww aren't you nice
Brabus and Mansory both destroy the cars.
Not really i think some of their cars are amazing and it really adds that special tone to them but for some of them like this g63 are not so good but you gotta remember its the owners choice to either send their car to them or not
Also owners choice to choose what they like to have in a car
Personally i love all mansory and brabus cars we cant be so monkeys to say that mansory and brabus ruins everething i think that its okay if thr car is not 1 of 1 or sonething line that
- Did Brabus ruin {insert whatever you want here}?
- The answer is always YES.
Not when it comes to the w213 e63s... the kit on that makes it one of the best looking saloons especially with the exhaust tips and diffuser
They used to be a cool company but than they got a taste of the big money that can be made supplying tasteless ego boosters to styleless people with deep pockets.
Apart from the Smart 451 and especially the Brabus 453 looks so good!
The Smart Roadster would like a word.
@@drunkenhobo8020 and 451 and 453!😆
Brabus ruins everything. Mansory ruins everything. Next question!
How come? I find Mansory great, just asking
Not true though. Brabus Rocket 900 and the like are great. This is just bs though, lots of fakery and nothing much of substance.
@@rumapark494 The rocket 900 is one hell of a thing indeed, I really like the mansory rs7 which is why I have a slight preference to mansory (cus they do audi cars)
Mansory ruins about 99% of their cars and Brabus with their excessive branding and fake vents are ridiculous, but Brabus actually have a few models that are improved over a "regular" AMG.
Brabus EV12 w211 was pinnacle brabus, everything after is mansory level tripe
Question should be,
What hasnt Brabus ruined?
Looks like something out of Pimp My Ride designed by Stevie Wonder.
I had the 800 upgrade on mine. The great thing is, that if the upgrade is installed before the car is registered, then Brabus covers the driveline like Mercedes would.
The sound is the way to my heart and hence one of the reasons why I have a GL 63 AMG; not to mention it feels special inside and out. It too has the wheelie sensation which feels plain nuts; an energy that belies its relative subtlety
Did you know there’s only 201 GL63’s registered on the road in the U.K. today?
They don’t kick you in the ass anymore when you say Nurbergring?
Say what?
When mat used to mention Nurburgring, the camera crew used to kick his ass🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@dash-kt7uf^^
@1:46
yea , that what i thought
That looks like it was decked out at halfords
I have Vresdestein all season tires and they are awesome. Quiet, amazing in rain, snow rated, comfortable while driving as well.
Yeah, and their Wintrac Pro winter tyres are amazing. But their summer tyres are pretty crap.
Yes, but nobody can top Mansory when it comes to excessive overstyling. Just look at the Mansory Urus. 😬
Whats a good aftermarket company that doesn’t over do it

@@theunknownguy265
Novitec? F12 N-Largo? Their Lambo creations? They overdo it sometimes.
Low profiles don't look good on it.
I agree looks like a scion the boxy ones. Needs to look more like a suv
It would look great with wheels like those on the g6x6
Fr
low profile on a offroad vehicle is funny
I know. That is so obviously wrong!
I really appreciate the honest verdict from you at the end of the video
Exhaust sound is one of the best ever made though. All generations were awesome.
"OHHHHHH MATTIE!" -Conor
The G Wagon always looked like something industrial from the 80's anyway so it could not be helped. That carbon fibre vent on the bonnet looks like something from Temu 😅😂
Thats because it is from the 80s😂 it's been offered by Mercedes as a civilian model since 1979 and the design has basically not changed since. It was actually developed as a military vehicle since 1973 so technically it's actually from the 70s. A very long time for a car to be in production
Interesting content. Keep up the good work on your channel. Regards, WR4K.
1:46 we seem to have forgotten about the butt kick when Mat mentions the nurburgring
Mat , when you’ll review the S 65 AMG (W222) Final Edition ? Soon ? Thanks in advance !
It's only a "700" model and still lots of black plastic bits, that's the model for soccer players that play in 2nd division. The 1st division players have at least an "800" model with all carbon fiber bits and a bright orange interior and if they're really good they might even have the "900 rocket" model with a Tiffany blue interior and extra Mansory crap all over. 😅😂😂
Slow overpriced Euro junk!
X Plaid & CyberBeast baby! ⚡️🇺🇲
700 refers to the brabus engine upgrade you went for not the bodykit or the “plastic bits”. 700 being the lowest (just a tune) for 7 grand then 800 for 24 grand and a 900 engine upgrade for 95 grand. This car is fairly well specced, it has the brabus widestar kit ( 24 grand for just the fenders) but no bespoke interior
@@emmakeuken7436 yeah, i know 🤦🤦
@@Euroburger you’re right tho. You don’t get alot for the money you pay.
Engineers: how many fake scoops and grills you want
Brabus: yes
I wish Matt would do the pickup versions . They are absolutely monstrous
It's an awful gaudy mess but some people like awful gaudy mess.
Someone's just mad they can only afford an old banger lol
Yianni style
This g can be see by the space station
This is 2 years old!!! Get with it carwow!!
Every time a performance benz lets off the throttle it sounds like a hole opened in the middle of the cylinders and like everything is out of balance. Its like putters out when you lift off the throttle in a way that no other car does.
Short answer, yes. But so did Mercedes themselves
Man I miss old Mercedes 😥
But did they made it worse? :D
Have you driven an older-model G? There's a reason pre-2019 Gs are like half the price of the newer ones: They drive like trash. The new G63 is an actually useful truck/car
@@ericsmith3996you mean useable

That’s something a bmw boy would say.
@@ikbenjevader191something a chevy truck fan would say
Arguably the best off road vehicle ever. Obviously not this Brabus but a gwagon in general is built for the apocalypse.
@@ikbenjevader191 Onnozel ventje. Iedereen met smaak zou hetzelfde zeggen.
@@lloydbonafide3398 Not the best off road vehicle. The best off road vehicles are way more reliable. You don't see these in war zones, Australian outback, ...
I remember brabus used to give 3 exhaust tips on g63
Someone forgot kicking his arse when he said "Nurburgring"!
Drag race G63 vs G700?
Whereee are you Brabus fan boyz ?!,I have been looking for y'all .
Conor: where the fook is everyone ?😅
Making amends with Mansory fanboys, we were too harsh on them, we're in the same boat now lol

Has anyone else noticed the resemblance of the 700 on the engine cover with the 007 logo (without the trigger)?
I hate the Brabus touches.
Fake vents parts, 100% Yes.

Wow it's carwow
can you review an E55 AMG from the 2000s? i would really love to see one of those on carwow!
I would love to see different designers sit down in a interview and explain their ideas and work now that’s a show
A footballer... a rapper... or a drug dealer 😂😂
No selfrespecting drug dealer would wanna be see in this.
I'd rather have a Land Cruiser 300-series.
"It worked, it worked, Lies 🤥" 😂😂😂😂
when are you dropping the sf90 v revuelto vid?
How tf is Brabus does a better job doing Porsches and Rolls Royces than the Mercs themselves... 😂
Almost every celebrities dream car lol
Green Hell Magno paint is exclusive for AMG GT-R. So Brabus made their own slightly different version or get permission for original paint colour from Mercedes.
We crack up laughing everytime we see one of these shitboxrs on the road and say "you poor bastard what wete you thinking when you purchased this
Almost all cars with LED headlights have the condensation problem because the LEDs do not get hot like the regular light bulbs ;-) There should be a vent system to heat them with the heat of the engine or something! Problem solved. But that's just my opinion...
I think manufacturers should start thinking for a solution to that problem. It's ridiculous given the money cars cost these days
vent system or demister element?
Had probably been cheaper and consumed less resources to just put a regular old light bulb in. The irony.
logos , body part, paint , writings all looks like designed and created by a child
Brabus boyz be wildin with the G wagon y'all
5:21 Editor needs a raise 😂
Khabib put the Connor McGregor to sleep and he left , don't mention him 😂

Green hell magno was first used on the Mercedes AMG GT-R, I’ve only ever seen it on that, once. Very rare colour tbh.
wow🥰🥰

You are my hero, I always thought this😂😅😂
@@MS-dp2qg 😉
If I'd have a Mercedes, I'd flaunt it with a big a** three pointed star on the front. Not a big letter B 🤦
It's a shame the new G63s have now been recalled and discontinued until they can find a solution to the premature rusting issues that will send the car to the scrap yard quicker than the car can do 0-60 mph.
No, Brabus always makes a Mercedes better!
fake vents everywhere say otherwise, the only real vents are the one in the front grill and the lower front bumper🤢
Mansory better button -------------->
No
It looks amazing and before you say something, You have to see it with your own eyes. There is also one (thats 1of1) with green interior and a “1” numberplate. Its in Turkey in our garage right now and looks tuff
Matt,
Bonkers wagon🙂🙂
wasn't one of your previous daily Dz a G63 ??
8:18 had the same reaction, I thought it was gonna be £3k 💀💀
Love the Mcgregor reference 😂
looks like they've taken inspiration from a base model Honda from a 2015 ricer compilation
This is actually the base variant of Brabus G Wagen.. Great job.. waiting for the new 2025 G63 review
9:32 so basically 6.5k for a stage 1 remap? you could do that aftermarket for a lot less
was looking for this exact comment😂 it's a joke but can you blame them if the clowns buying this car are willing to pay 10 times the normal price?
It's not that simple.
It is fully legal in the EU. But what is much more important, Brabus cover the driveline warranty instead of Mercedes. That is what you also pay for. Sure some "tuner" can do something similar, but then you are on your own and hopefully won't get pulled over and asked to do an emissions test.
letssss goooo these 2 legends are always gold
Funfact: there is a Version with 900 HP (Rocket) - Greetings from Bottrop 👋
Brabus do a "900 Rocket" version of the G63 also, so how brutal is that going to be? They've literally given it the proper name, "Rocket"🚀
Can’t buy taste,class is something your born into
Keep a g wagon as a g wagon standed , not a wags thing.
You jus nailed it again Mat
PLEASE review the Nissan Pulsar, I'm considering it for my first car, and nobody does a review like you, Mat
I would take engine upgrade , wide body kit
No logos of brabus as i like mercedes logo more
The way there was a small delay lag in the roof LED lights flashing when he flashed the full beams...........😅
Wow I've never thought of Green on a G-wagon ,but wow I'm in love 💚💚💚💯
“Yahh mate “ - Connor
Brabus is a brand aimed at the kind of people that, while being millionaires, would still grab and keep any wallet they saw unattended.
Hmm, after watching the Brabus G being spanked by a Brabus Smart#1 in a previous CarWow upload makes that Green Hell Magnolia paint even more challenging to take in.
What. A. Pup…
I'd take the performance pack for the engine, the 24 inch wheels and tuned exhaust but keep the factory tips. That's it.
Do they still use wheel spacers to increase track width?
I love how Mat tries so hard to finish the video without offending the look-at-me-im-rich-people who buy this sort of car and FAILS🤣
Tbh, 100K more over a stock G63 is a bit of an insane markup for what you really get. I was pretty disappointed to see all the fake vents though. Could've made them actually assist the vehicle rather than look like cheap plastic.
Yes
Crazy car. Waiting for a g63 4x4 squared off road review :D
Did you scrape the back left wheel on that curb? :D
Wow nice performance
I‘ve seen this exact same car in this exact same color yesterday in my hometown. So idk if it’s a 1 of 1. Could have been a Brabus 800 i guess
“Proper hardcore offroader” comes with low profile tires and 24inch rims
Literally just saw this same truck in dt frankfurt this past weekend, Literally the only difference is the wheels thats crazy lol.
Hey Matt, is it possible to contact Brabus and ask them to test drive the 911 Rocket R or the GT4door Rocket 900
