Does the G Wagon have ambient lighting?

Yes. The modern Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon (G-Class) offers ambient lighting in most trims, either as standard or via a Lighting Package, with the exact availability varying by year, trim, and market.


Ambient lighting in the G-Wagon uses LED strips and panels to illuminate the cabin, typically around the dash, doors, and footwells. It is integrated with MBUX and provides a configurable color palette and brightness. Since the interior refresh that accompanied the current generation, ambient lighting has become a common feature on higher-spec versions, while some base configurations require an optional package to access the full color range and zoning capabilities.


Availability by Model Year and Trim


The following overview shows how ambient lighting has been packaged across G-Class generations and trims:



  • 2019–2023 G-Class (W463 facelift): Ambient LED lighting is available, usually bundled with the Lighting Package or included on higher trims such as AMG variants. It generally covers the instrument cluster, dashboard, door panels, and footwells with multiple color options.

  • 2023–2025 updates: Ambient lighting remains a core feature, with improved color choices and more precise zone control in many markets. Access is typically via MBUX Settings > Ambient Lighting.

  • AMG G63 and other top-tier variants: Often include ambient lighting as standard or as part of an upscale package, offering broader color palettes and more lighting zones.


Because packaging can vary by country and dealership, confirm the exact ambient-lighting configuration for your specific G-Wagon build with a local dealer or the factory build sheet.


How to enable ambient lighting


Ambience is controlled through the MBUX infotainment system and, in some models, additional controls on the dash. Typical steps include:



  • Open MBux Settings or Vehicle settings on the central touchscreen.

  • Navigate to Ambient Lighting or Lighting > Ambient Lighting.

  • Choose a color from the palette and adjust brightness; some models allow you to assign zones (dash, doors, footwells) separately.


In recent models, ambient lighting responds to driving mode or time of day, subtly adjusting brightness or color temperature to match the selected mode.


With the steps complete, you can return to the main MBux Lighting menu to refine settings or enable automatic adaptations if your G-Wagon supports them.


Why ambient lighting matters


Ambient lighting enhances cabin mood and aesthetic, complements the G-Wagon’s rugged exterior with a refined interior feel, and can improve night visibility without glare. The ability to customize colors lets owners tailor the interior to personal taste and driving conditions.


Summary


Yes—ambient lighting is a common feature in modern G-Wagons and is typically available through a Lighting Package or as standard on higher trims. It offers a configurable color palette, multiple lighting zones, and MBUX integration, with availability depending on year, trim, and market. If ambient lighting matters to you, verify the exact configuration when ordering or purchasing a G-Wagon in your region.
