Rent Mercedes G63 2022 in Dubai

Ask for a black Mercedes G63 2022 in Dubai and you're asking for the same car everyone else wants, in the one colour the fleet moves fastest. It doesn't sit around waiting for the right renter, whatever shade you searched for, because this AMG gets booked out on personality alone: the V8, the shape, the noise. We can have this SUV outside your hotel, villa or the arrivals hall within one to two hours of booking, automatic, all-wheel drive, five seats. The colour is a detail. The decision that actually matters is whether a hand-built V8 and everything that comes with it fits your week, and that's what the rest of this page settles.

Four litres, one signature, and what it's like to drive

Under the bonnet sits a hand-built 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, assembled by a single AMG technician who signs the plaque before it ships, and this pre-facelift 2022 car makes the same 585 hp and 850 Nm as every G63 built since 2019, sent through a nine-speed automatic to all four wheels. There's no 48-volt hybrid help smoothing the low end here, that only arrived with the 2025 facelift, so you feel a beat of turbo lag before the V8 lands and hauls a two-and-a-half-tonne SUV to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds.

The number isn't why you book it. The sound is: a hard crack on cold start, then a deep pull on Sheikh Zayed Road that has people in the next lane looking for the source before they spot the shape. Steering is slow and heavy, the tall body leans through roundabouts, and past 120 km/h the flat nose is visibly working against the air. Underneath sits permanent all-wheel drive, three locking differentials and a low-range gearbox, genuine off-road hardware that almost nobody renting for a week in the city will ever use. It's there because the G-Class has always been built that way, not because you need it for a mall run.

Seats, cargo, and what this shape gives up in a car park

Five people sit properly here, upright with real headroom front and back, and the high seating position makes the G63 easier to place in traffic than its footprint suggests from outside. The boot holds 480 litres behind the rear seats, enough for two large cases and a soft bag off an airport run, not a family's full luggage set with golf clubs on top. The tailgate swings sideways rather than lifting, with the spare wheel bolted to it, so leave real room behind the car before you try to open it in a tight bay.

Width is what catches people out. Across the mirrors the G63 runs close to 2.2 metres, wider than most multi-storey bays were painted for, so folding the mirrors in and taking corners slowly becomes routine. The flat, dead-straight sides at least make the edges easy to judge. Ground clearance of 241 mm shrugs off speed bumps and steep villa ramps without drama. Plan for the climb, though: even with running boards, getting in means hauling yourself up rather than sliding across a seat, worth knowing with small kids along or heels on. Ride quality is the trade-off. Steel springs and adaptive dampers, no air suspension on this year, so patched tarmac and expansion joints come through firm rather than absorbed.

Fuel, tolls, and keeping a black cabin livable

This is a thirsty car, and nothing about the black paint changes that. The 100-litre tank takes premium, and while Mercedes quotes a combined figure near 14.7 litres per 100 km, a week of real Dubai city driving with the AC working hard pushes that into the high teens. Budget for regular stops rather than treating the gauge as decoration. Left outside through a mid-afternoon in the high 40s, this colour and all that upright glass load the cabin with heat faster than a lighter finish would, so the first breath after a few hours parked is genuinely warm. What saves it is a strong climate system front and rear, with proper vents reaching the back seats, and it pulls the cabin back to comfortable within a minute or two of pulling away.

The daily allowance is 250 kilometres, then AED 0.5 for every kilometre past that, cheap enough that an extra loop to the airport or along the coast won't sting. Salik tolls and any RTA fines picked up during the rental land on you as the renter, and every seat needs a belt with a proper child seat required under four. Being a luxury booking, it takes a refundable deposit at handover, and you need to be 25 to take the keys, older than the 21 asked for smaller cars in the fleet.

Take the keys for this, or ask for something softer

Book the G63 if presence is genuinely the point: the hand-built V8, the noise, a shape that gets a reaction whether it's parked outside a hotel for one night or driven for a full week. That's the honest sale here, not a relaxed cruiser and not the practical choice for a family with three kids and a stack of suitcases. For that trip, a Mercedes GLS or a Range Rover rides softer, drinks less and swallows more luggage, and either makes more sense for long stretches of highway or daily school runs where nobody outside the car is meant to notice you.

And don't let the black paint decide anything. Whatever colour shows as available when you search, the G63 as a whole moves through this fleet fast, so the booking date matters more than the shade. If the drive, the sound and the width you've read about above sound like your week, lock the dates rather than waiting for a specific colour to reappear. If they sound like a lot of car for a school run, this isn't that car, and there's no shame in sizing down to something that rides softer and costs less to feed.
