Two modern platforms, not one
W463A covers the heavily revised G-Class from roughly 2018–2023. W465 is the newest generation from 2024.
Exterior panels, lighting modules and many interior trim pieces are not drop-in compatible between the two.
Checklist before you buy a conversion kit
Confirm the listing chassis slug: /parts/w463a or /parts/w465.
Match model year on the listing to your registration year and VIN plate.
Ask for a written fitment confirmation if the kit is a multi-piece flare or bumper package.
Browse the right landing
Start at /parts/g-class, then open your exact chassis. That keeps search engines and your cart on the correct generation.
