We all know that the forever glamorous Somizi Mhlongo is all about the finer things in life, and recently, the star had social media buzzing after he revealed the type of luxurious car he currently owns.
The former Idols SA judge doesn't miss an opportunity to update his fans and followers regarding his lavish life and cars. Just like how he was spotted in Cape Town driving off in a sleek green Lamborghini in January 2025, Mhlongo once again posted a video on his TikTok page on Monday, 11 August 2025, flaunting his Mercedes-Benz metallic G63.
The retail price of a Mercedes-AMG G63, also known as a G-Wagon, in South Africa starts at around R4,321,459.00 for the base model. However, the final price can easily exceed R5 million, depending on the colour, optional extras, and any additional packages selected.
The G-Wagon is a luxurious whip that many wish to drive, and Mhlongo isn't the only celeb in Mzansi who owns and drives this beast, as the controversial Amapiano music producer DJ Maphorisa was spotted with his in January 2025.
