Mercedes-Benz Brabus G700 6x6 Review

In 2013, deep within the skunkworks of Mercedes-Benz, a team of off-road enthusiasts set out to create what would become the most extreme road-legal SUV ever made—the AMG G63 6×6. This off-road giant was then handed over to Brabus, the renowned tuning house, where it was transformed into the monstrous G700 6×6.

Just when the world thought the AMG 6×6 couldn’t be topped, Brabus unveiled the G700 6×6, boasting even more performance, enhanced features, and an unmatched level of exclusivity.

If that doesn’t grab your attention, consider this: only 15 units of the Brabus G700 6×6 exist worldwide, and one of them is currently up for sale on DubiCars, listed by Gangsta Paradise in the UAE. In this week’s edition of ‘Exotic Car of the Week’ on DubiCars, we’re shining the spotlight on the incredibly rare and coveted Mercedes-Benz Brabus G700 6×6.

Dubi Highlights

– 18-inch Monoblock wheels and 37-inch Cooper Discoverer all-terrain tyres
– Wooden panelling inside the loading bed

Exterior Design

The Brabus G700 6×6 features an intimidating and meticulously detailed exterior. The front fascia includes a custom grille with a prominent logo and an aggressive mesh pattern. It is equipped with LED headlamps and a redesigned bumper with integrated daytime running lights and larger air intakes for improved cooling. A carbon fibre bonnet scoop enhances airflow and adds a muscular touch. Additional carbon fibre accents can be found on the bonnet, side mirrors, fender flares, and rear spoiler. Its six-wheel drive configuration showcases advanced engineering, with visible portal axles beneath its rugged exterior.

The SUV has a significantly elevated suspension system, providing a towering ground clearance of 460mm, nearly double that of a standard G-Class. A widebody kit features flared fenders and LED-illuminated side steps. The roof-mounted LED light bar enhances visibility during night-time off-roading. Overall, the Brabus G700 6×6 is a striking visual spectacle.

Interiors

The interior of the Brabus G700 6×6 blends luxury, technology, and craftsmanship, offering a bespoke design tailored for comfort and exclusivity. Premium leather covers the seats, dashboard, and doors, with hand-stitched contrast stitching for a personalised feel.

Alcantara is often used on the headliner and seats for added sophistication, while carbon fibre accents on the dashboard and doors highlight the vehicle’s performance heritage.

The rear seating typically features two individual bucket seats with heating, cooling, and massage functions. Both front and rear seats are ergonomically designed with electric adjustments, lumbar support, and memory settings.

Technology

The 6×6 comes loaded with a host of features including an in-built air compressor to inflate and deflate tyres. This feature and the auxiliary tank can be controlled using overhead switches present inside the SUV.

Other features include:

– Semi-digital Instrument Cluster
– 7-inch Infotainment

Larger, high-performance turbochargers
Custom stainless steel exhaust with active valve control
Larger, performance-oriented intercoolers
Brabus-tuned ECU for optimised performance
Upgraded cooling systems for enhanced reliability

Here are the performance figures:

Max Power: 700hp

Driving Impressions

Driving the Brabus G700 6×6 is a thrilling experience that combines immense power with rugged off-road capability. Despite its six-wheel drive setup and towering ground clearance, the G700 6×6 offers a stable and controlled ride, thanks to its advanced suspension system, but it can feel a bit stiff at lower speeds.

Its six-wheel drive setup, three locking differentials, and portal axles make it a beast in off-road environments, providing excellent traction and the ability to handle deep sand, mud, and water crossings up to 1 metre deep.

The elevated suspension and plush interior ensure a comfortable ride, while the vehicle’s size and road presence command attention. However, its bulk can make city driving and parking a challenge. The large disc brakes provide excellent stopping power, bringing this massive SUV to a halt quickly and safely.

Review Verdict

The Brabus G700 6×6 is not just an SUV; it’s a statement of unparalleled power, exclusivity, and off-road prowess. The G700 is designed to dominate any terrain with confidence. If you’re looking for the ultimate off-road machine that turns heads and tackles the wild without compromising on luxury, the Brabus G700 6×6 is hard to beat.
