Who’s ready for an almighty off-road battle?!
We’ve got the super luxurious Mercedes-AMG G63 going head-to-head against the Toyota Land Cruiser Commercial across a series of off-road challenges to see whether luxury can topple utilitarian once they leave the tarmac.
When it comes to the power stakes, the G63 easily has the Toyota beat. With a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet, this AMG can put down 585hp & 850Nm of torque! In comparison, the Land Cruiser rolls up with a 2.8-litre turbo diesel that can only produce 204hp & 420Nm.
In terms of off-road capabilities, they both come with more than enough ability to tackle some off-roading, including low-range modes and central locking diffs. However, while the Toyota is set up for any terrain, the G63 arrives with road tyres and a low-slung exhaust!
That’s not all though! While the Toyota is relatively cheap at £37,000, the AMG costs around £157,000! So with that in mind, is Mat prepared to push it to the limit off-road?!
You’ll have to keep watching to find out!

Significant difference is how you behave with each car - G Wagon makes you afraid of scratching it but with Toyo you are tossing it around like old rug :D
I mean you can buy 5 of these land cruisers for 1 G

@@tkaymdala but that assumes that someone who can afford a g with much money to spare buys instead a Toyota.
I now someone like that but he buys Dacias and drives through woods. He thorws the car away after a few years because he gives a shit if he got no money when selling... And selling is also a hastle.
True
Bruh that Land Cruiser. Wasn't expecting that!!. The driver seriously wanted to win the 1st challenge.
Shoutout to him honestly.🤣🤣🤯🤯
And the thing is, if Matt tried to be that rough with the G then I think this video would have ended there 😂; unless they procure another car of course.
Why would you visit a designer of anything who drives a purple g?
@@timknight7367 if he has the money for a purple G, he's probably good at what he does!

Hey!
i havent seen the video yet!
Always wishing for an actual Land Cruiser V8 to be out here representing the actual Land Cruiser community, heritage and performance! You can do this Carwow!
The big boy Land cruiser is not sold anymore in Europe
@@ragnarlothbrok7973 lmao naive
you seem like an arab who likes his land cruiser a lot and takes it to rhe dunes on the weekends

@@soup97 . For Dunes you are better off in a Turbo-charged Jimny , on 9 inch rubber . Walks straight over the top . No SINKING .
4:01 That was insane. Crazy to see how that Land Cruiser flew up in the air, by a few feet.
“Air” -Graham
So you’ll be faster driving a Land Cruiser like you stole it than driving a G-wagon like you borrowed it from your boss
That isn’t a 4Runner. The 4 door Prado is essentially the Lexus GX but the 4Runner is something different.
Not a 4 runner we had a land cruiser but now it’s gone and I plan on invading the Toyota headquarters to bring it to America
We have both in our country lol
But the previous gen
Because the toyota can take it and AMGay won't😂

This definitely was an easy entry into the "Carwow's most pointless and useless comparisons ever, purely for your entertainment" list 🤣🤣🤣

Isn't that like... Most of their drag races? Driving cars none of us will ever be able to afford on top of it
@@TKOfromJohn In the drag races they at least floor all of the cars instead of babying them... If they do such a silly comparison they should at least do them right...
It's unfair..they should get a regular long Prado
V8 200 or v6 300 series it could have made sense and fair to that Benz
I love how this isn't even the full out land cruiser and it still won.
Had both jeeps.
King Cruiser always.
Swiss army knife in all situations, from dinner parties to off roading with a trailer.
I have my 25 year old bus & every day I'm impressed.
Matt took longer to come off the brake during the down hill test.
He lifts the brake pedal 2 seconds later... Hahaha cheaky
Yes, completely agree 👍
100%. Matt definitely cheated on that one. Toyota had him otherwise.
On Drag race if he doesn't get launch right, he whines and moans like no tomorrow, here he is just not going to look at a 2 second gap in launch.
@@thomashardy7961 hi thomas hardy.
Why not use a full spec 5 door version of the Land cruiser Prado? That would be a much fair comparison between the two cars.
I was thinking the same . It just seemed unfair competition to me 🙂 .
agree, full spec 5d Land Cruiser in my country comes with the classic auto 4.0 v6 (permanent 4wd high & low), all sorts of offroad systems as rear diff lock, central diff lock, crawl control, mud terrain select and it can go everywhere.
also compared to the Land Cruiser in the vid it has leather seats and terminations, and just top end toyota comfort.
I completely agree with you.
And a regular g wagon just so they dont worry as much
Why not use an actual Land Cruiser and not a Prado lol? Maybe a Sahara, the price would be closer.
@@sweatyfootenjoyer they don't have the actual legendary land cruiser in europe anymore
Mat well done 👏 I have no words to appreciate ur effort I m speechless I can't believe ur chennel I mean carwow has now more than 6.5 million subscribers mostly thanks to covid 19 u cashed it but still u worked really hard hats off
Yeaahh baaaby that's what I've been waiting for!
Landcruiser won the downhill challenge too ,Matt didn't take off until the cruiser was already on the decent, timing them going down would be better.
It's a weird 'test' anyway. It's not about speed, it's about control. If a car can do it faster with the same amount of control, it's better.
yup, sleeping at the light wins the race
!!
Yes, agreed
Toyota won the downhill challenge as well because Mat moved late I didn't expect that from the referee to accept that despite of that being so clear to notice 😒🤔
@@djoetma no not really, if it's a flat hill then sure, but you want it to be as slow as possible so you can navigate rocks/dips etc
Cheapness is a definitely a feature when going off-road.

I will definitely take the Land Cruiser over any SUV's because that's the only suv that you can take it to off-roading without worrying
I would rather the normal v8 land cruiser over the prado
IKR my parents have a 20 year old one it never had any problems yet r 3 year old Range Rover on the other hand
Love these challenges and I know it’s just for fun not serious but it does seem redundant to score them, considering the expensive cars never get properly tested
Love the vid. However, the UK spec Cruiser base model is really not a fair comparison to the G. The top of range Prado Kakadu has variable height suspension. I have a Prado VX with a 50mm lift (in Australia) that would easily beat the G. Plus even the Prado doesn't have proper off-road tyres, try one with BFGs or Falken Wildpeaks. The Cruiser is also one of the best off-road vehicles in the world so at least it one this round. And I'm sure you could pimp it in purple with a mega diesel tune up to match! But great fun watching!
ua-cam.com/video/3pHK3u83X78/v-deo.html.
I think this vid was to make it easier for the g63
LC 300 vs G63 is what it should have been
The G also had shitty tyres for off-roading.
The g has summer tire on it... and this one does not even have the trail package. You may say the lc is more reliable, but g is definitely better at hard core off-roading
the thing i love about this is that it’s the land cruiser prado so it’s not even the full off-road machine
ua-cam.com/video/3pHK3u83X78/v-deo.html
The Prado is as off road as it gets

@@marijanspasenovski362 we used to have a Prado and if doesn’t compare to our new v8 land cruiser. The Prado isn’t nearly as good
I would like to see a repeat of the test without any consideration for that g class value. Step on it, dont worry about damaged rims and suspension just treat it as if it were a 37k Landrover.
Would still lose.
Would lose even more, damage to the exhaust, tyres, mags, even diff, you have to drive it more like q car
@@johnnewton326 look at proper tests g wagons are very impressive
damage to diff lmao you know nothing@@GuyI9000
Whistlindiesel has put one through hell and took all of it. A very impressive machine for on and off road. @@GuyI9000
They are great off road vehicles. Has driven both quite a lot. The G Wagon is the default basic off road vehicle in many Western militaries. I drove a scout(soft top) G240 short wheelbase with no power, in Afghanistan in 2003.. But it could get to places you can't imagine.
Snd taliban use toyota?? No wonder they win 😆..just joking
In the real world, the land cruiser would be better overall, I think the commercial land cruiser has smaller wheels and its a bit basic. The Gwagon is too expensive and not as practical, would love to see a range rover/discovery up against the g wagon
I don’t think someone who’d buy an actual G-wagon cares about practicality at all. They buy it because they like it, for being fast, luxury, yet off-roadable at the same time.
5:10 of course Mat is going to get down the hill last if you set off long after the other vehicle
I think graham was going to point that but he didnt took the effort
True
no, he did not set off after. his car is just better.
@@NinjaFoxEdits i dont know
guess we can never know
@@talharoxen it looked like he was going to, but mat interrupted him before he had the chance.
I've been on carwow for over 8 months now, and my opinion is that it's a competition between Matt and cars, than a comparison between cars. HE DOESN'T WANNA LOSE [SELF-EGO]
I love all of your videos i am one of your viewers from jamaica 🇯🇲
Imagine a basic prado with no off roading options, manual gear box and less than half the horse power beat G-Wagon. What would happen when they match with Full blown GR-Landcruiser will crawl control, hill descend and hill climb assist, ride height control and better ground clearance.
Exactly.💯👍🏼
Imagine a proper off roader G wagon ;)
@@abu_muhammad a bullsh#t
A murder would happen
I couldnt seem to find the all terrain tyres on the Prado he mentioned.
I'm impressed with the Toyota doing a jump 😂
Yup 37k worth every penny 🙂
Aeirghh
I didnt know there was a 2 door land cruiser thats kinda weird but cool. My mom had a 2000 cruiser for a while it was really cool.
You must make more of these videos
Is there a reason you guys never do actual, equal comparisons? These cars have nothing in common. Why not get a normal G, or a specced Land Cruiser? Road tyres on an off-road course… come on Matt.
Best comment on here, it was a ridiculous comparison.
Exactly.💯👍🏼
they could’ve atleast got the higher specs v6 prado which is altogether much better
@@ahsanzubair8287 or give the g an actual offroad tyres or bring an top spec land cruiser
its just what they could get their hands on
Matt's reaction made that moment perfect 🤣🤣🤣
Is it just me or Mat is doing more random noises XDDD
I love it though keep up the great work Mat u never stop amazing me
Love the new new cameras
"This G wagon does not manoeuvre very well with all diffs locked"
Ummmm... You're not supposed to manoeuvre while diffs are locked. Manoeuvre first and engage the diffs when you're alredy going in a straight line. Otherwise there will be massive torsional forces in the drivetrain, especially with a 850nm V8.
How do you misspell manuveur so many times?
@@Kronos0999 Manoeuvre is one possible way to write it. Look it up.
@@Kronos0999 you cant even spell it too lmfao
@@drakeyyy lol i foind that so funny . Dude tried to sound so smart.
It manures great
All I know is that 2 door landy is never going to lose a cent in value haha
Ohh...but it is merc ....and it is the legentry G .....definite win for merc
@@nandhuvichus8207 in 20 years the landcruiser is still riding and has twice the value

Should have used the 5 door version of the Landcruiser, it would perform a lot better
It's the same car 🤔🤣🤦 if anything the swb could be better in some areas.
@@ln5747 nope 5 door has 500 nm it’s is an auto it has crawl control hill descent control mid lock and limited slip in the back
@@jamiemagdeleyns9152 wrong. Has the same torque. Auto is an option in the 3 door. Hill descent is an option in the auto 3 door. 3 door has centre diff. The only one may be LSD on 5 door. Essentially the same. Likely better approach/departure/break over angle in 3 door.

@@chelseadaddy7061 yes mate the new one.
As a G-Wagon fan boy, I think there is nothing better out there, however I do love the Toyota Landcruiser because you have all the modern comforts with all the off road performance while safe in the knowledge it wont let you down. Saw an old Nissan Patrol from the 1980's the other day, what a brilliant looking 4x4.
Don't know how he did that, but that guy is genius. Well done, bro. 👍.

Hey Mat, do a video of a drag race of cheap daily drives like the suzuki swift, hyundai 120, Chevrolet beat etc etc😎
The team is very consistent in the opening , 3:30 to 4:00 mins of talking before seeing the cars actually move.
I enjoyed the video. If you would compare the Land Cruiser with a G Pur/Professionel with the 280CDi engine and the same tires it would be a fair battle 😉
I don't live in the UK but Matt always makes me want to experience the life in the UK... This channel and the Sidemen channel are, for me, the best source of information and entertainment by far... 🤷🏿♂️😁😁😁
You wouldn't like it , trust me , cyclists would drive you crazy .
Crap weather a miserable place
only immigrants go to live there, its a ruinned country
The toyota Prado we get here has a 4.0 V6 , and is an absolute beast also it's way more luxurious than what you have
Australia? As far as I know we only get the 2.8 TD in the UK. The regular consumer one has a bit of a nicer interior than this commercial one.
It is the best video of all time
best channel ever
The uphill drag was awesome 👌. Prado

The land cruiser flying really needed "I believe I can fly" edited over it
been watching whistlin diesels G wagon videos and i realize you really went easy on that machine
That’s actually the problem with the G. It can be a great off-roader but because of all the ridiculously expensive and "luxurious" stuff it just isn’t capable enough. I mean only Yannie can afford to take such a car off roading without worrying. 😂
Mercedes junk OVERPRICE
i need to say. that is the Problem with all of the new G wagons. we have old ones and these are running offroad like your normal tuned Wrangler. and the Cost isnt to bad here in Germany. you can buy old G wagons for like 5000 bucks and take them in a instant offroad. but the new ones are just street cars. they cant run any offroad. so yes sadly to expensive and junk
@@angelofdarkness4806 where do you get these for 5k. They are more like 25-30k if I see them. Germany too. Or they are in a desasterous condition.
@@MrDaemondays yes ofc Bad condition. But doable. And not on the market. U need to use connections. But yes. 5k are mostly old "Wolf" army models.

Ok so building engines for AMG with the surname Schnell is too perfect 😂
I'd also be working there with that name.
You should get the same tires for such comparisons, it would just be more accurate and for me more interesting even tho the outcome probably wouldn't change
would love to see this done but with a thick mud tire on both cars!
That landcruiser is probably rarer than the AMG
It's the exact opposite
I'm still curious about a Mercedes X-Class vs a Nissan Navara. Maybe throw a Hilux in there.
They are no longer on sale in the UK, Hilux and the Ranger are the only pick-ups left in the UK
@@sanchaynarain3532 You can use used Models tho.

Matt was sleeping and he got the shock of his life on that drag race. It’s not many times he’s been last on take off🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That German accent gets me everytime 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Matt being happy about the Prado catching airtime gives off Pops vibes when the one guy was like "Gimme some sugar" on regular show
There's no Carwow without Mat.
Hey Matt I think you should review the defender and the G63 AMG
Unfare comparison, the Prado here is SWB, should have used 5 door version.. also you could have used non AMG G-Class (preferably diesel for fair comparo) without side hanging exhaust so could have easily completed one obstacle were G was stopped.. in that case it would hav been a clear win fr G-wagen.
I doubt the g wagen win if toyota use land cruiser 76 series australia specs
@@trianggaindralukmana2184 then there is G professional to beat it
@@hanimusthafa mat released the brakes 2 seconds after the LC, which gave mat the win and the last challenge should go to the LC, since it cleared the challenge flawless. So no matter what a g would never win.
@@hanimusthafa did u ever see real offroad competition use G wagen? Most serious offroad competition dominated by fj40, lc 70&80 series, suzuki jimny in asia (IOX, Borneo offroad, Malaysia) or old defender in europe
Actually the 76 series has FR difflock, part time 4wd, rear n front solid axle, v8 diesel, what g wagen pro has? 3.0 inline 6 old diesel merc? Triple difflock but limited suspension travel?
@@trianggaindralukmana2184 i’m a G-wagen driver for last 13 years & am quite aware about the offroad capability of that machine as we regularly do offroading.. and mine is a 1986 300GD which is quite similar to the present G professional by its character and offroading ability.. we hav TLC, that too 70 series and many other 4x4s in our team like wrangler, patrol, etc., so I’m talking from experience not based on any videos.
Talking about competition, we too uses cheaper 4x4s like suzuki & mahindra’s in competition thats cos of the cheap maintenance cost & comfort to build it, we have to do lot of modification for competition vehicles.. what we are talking here about stock cars.
G-wagen as an offroader have proud it many times including dakar rally and record breaking world expeditions.
The Land Cruiser V8 would be a better comparison to the G63. But Connor with the steel balls giving his G63 with performance tyres for off-roading is indeed impressive
: i think this swb prado and g pro will be a better choice
Yeah indeed but i do think there will be some kind of rental + damage cost (if any)
@@Smile-el5yy maybe but in my opinion, they are getting advertised on carwow so I doubt they have to pay anything
Matt, you should try do drag races on the airstrip where you have the cars full of passengers and see how the cars cope.
I like how you need to go somewhere to have an off-road experience.... off-road in my country we walk off-road and drive off-road 😅
The third test is the most pointless as more expensive cars will almost always lose out. It depends on how brave you are, not the cars ability at alll.
its drivability
It doesn't matter how fast they would have driven G wagon, it just wouldn't have been able to make that u-turn in one go because it isn't as maneuverable as a Land Cruiser
@@come2success104 that's one test. Other tests might have gone a lot different if they didn't have to worry about the paint on the G and had some actual tires for off-roading on there.
The color of G, looks like Stradman's iconic purple matte. Good video as always, Carwow!
3:59 😄😄😄wow that was awesome he went up there like a jet 😄😄
Fair comparison would be a base model Vs a base model. And you’re always seeing the G63 which we know can do it just that it has side pipes and high performance road tyres.
Get G500 or G400d to be more fair because they have more ground clearance then G63 and they dont have fancy AMG exhaust that you can damage.
ua-cam.com/video/3pHK3u83X78/v-deo.html
5:12...Matt cheated on the downhill. He was still on the brakes as the car was not even moving.
ua-cam.com/video/3pHK3u83X78/v-deo.html
Totally biased .. and still g wgn lost!
I had no idea there was a 2 door Land Cruiser since they don’t sell them in Canada. That thing is sick.
0:51
When hidden rapper inside matt comes out 😂😂😂
Maybe the Mercedes lost, but it looked so cool doing it 👌💪
Why not test with the 5-door Landcruiser instead of the 3-door version? It's not exactly the version most people opt for..
But thank you for very good videos, keep them coming!
do an off road race between the new bronco and the defender, like "the legends are back"
A more off road orientated G wagon model would make this test more enjoyable. Very entertaining tho.
Oops Matt you cheated the down hill challenge, I don't know why Graham was hesitant to tell you that.
The problem with the G-class is just that it is way to expensive and fancy and nobody uses it the way its intended because everyone is scared to damage it.
You guys should do a video where you test cheap cars, those videos where the best in my opinion.
I never knew a 2 door landcruiser existed.
I would love to see an offroad comparison between g wagon and gle with the bouncy suspension
[4:01] Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a liftoff.
HAHSHW
I can already see someone doing a Shooting Stars meme of this.
that paint shade on the G is just 💥💥💥
You guys are perfect dragging small cars and SUV's, but when it comes to puck-ups and off-roaderssssssssssss, i dont know.
