After the management decided to continue the production for the G-Class, the German car-maker insisted to built the convertible version as well.
Like the Jeep Wrangler and the Land Rover Defender, the G-Class featured a two-door and a convertible version as well. Since the car was built on a body-on-frame structure, it was easier to install an open-top bodywork.

The updated design included new front headlights and a new grille. The typical turn-signals were mounted on top of the fenders. The door-mirrors featured turn-signals with LEDs. The convertible system was still the same, which didn’t allow the car to be covered or uncovered while driving.

The 2012 facelift introduced a completely redesigned interior with a free-floating 7” display. A TFT display found its place inside the new instrument cluster, between the round, chromed, dials. The customers were not very pleased with the column-mounted gear-selector for the automatic transmission, so it was brought back on the floor. To access the rear seats, the front ones had to be tilted forward. Even though, due to the center roll-over protection bar, the access in the back was difficult.

For the drivetrain, the last generation of the G-Class W463 convertible was offered exclusively with a 5.0-liter V8 engine mated to a standard 7-speed automatic transmission with a dual-clutch system.
