Aussies sticking to the dark side with Mercedes-Benz colour choices but some dare to stand out

When it comes to choosing the perfect colour for a high-performance luxury beast, Mercedes-Benz G 63 buyers in Australia seem to have a motto: Black is best

But while most are sticking to their villainous, stealthy aesthetic, a handful of rebels are turning heads with bold colour combinations.

With the plethora of choices when it comes to selecting exterior paint, interior trim, upholstery, seat belt colour, wheels and options, there are over 658,000 customisation possibilities for the G 63. Yet black on black is still by far the fan favourite of the 421 G-Wagens that found a home down under in 2024 according to Mercedes-Benz Australia.

The Mercedes-Benz G 63 isn’t just a luxury SUV, it’s a cultural icon. Originally designed as a rugged military vehicle, the G-Wagen has evolved into the ultimate status symbol, driven by celebrities, athletes, and entrepreneurs worldwide.

Its boxy, no-nonsense design, combined with a roaring twin-turbo V8, makes it an unmistakable presence on the road. Whether rolling through Beverly Hills, Dubai, or Sydney, the G 63 is a statement of power, wealth, and exclusivity.

The Dark Reign: Black on black still rules

The G 63 is an absolute powerhouse on wheels—loud, aggressive, and unapologetically over the top. Yet, Aussie buyers prefer their brute force wrapped in a cloak of darkness.

The most popular choice? Obsidian Black, with the matte MANUFAKTUR Night Black Magno hot on its heels with these most commonly paired with the Night Package, Mercedes-Benz Australia told carsales. With this combo, you've got a G-Wagen that looks straight out of a spy thriller.

It’s not just one demographic, either—black G 63s are loved by young and old, men and women alike. There's something about an all-black, menacing G 63 that just screams, don’t mess with me.

The Rebels: Aussies who refuse to blend In

Hyacinth Red exterior matched with Bengal Red interior

For every sea of blacked-out G-Wagens prowling the streets, a few brave souls are out there making a statement. And Mercedes-Benz Australia has revealed some of the wildest, most unique combinations ordered recently.

  • The Blue Wave – Vintage Blue exterior with a Yacht Blue interior, oozing European luxury.
  • Red Hot Rebel – Hyacinth Red outside, Bengal Red inside—because subtlety is overrated.
  • Gold Standard – Kalahari Gold meets Bengal Red for a look that screams big money energy.
  • Green Machine – Green Light Magno with a red interior—a mix of military toughness and exotic flair.
