long believed exclusive: An extreme level of capability, with an extraordinary degree of civility. After decades of evolution, the 2013 G -Class has undergone a revolution beneath its

iconic shape, with advanced new technology and a stunningly redesigned cabin. But in heart and soul, it continues to be what it has always been: lovingly crafted by hand, equipped

to tackle virtually any terrain, eager to embark on any journey, and loyal enough to bring you back. No matter how far the legendary G-Class travels, it never loses sight of its origins.

HANDS-ON

Information Provided by:

When you take the wheel of a G-Class, you hold more than torque and tenacity in your hands. You’re instantly connected

to an unwavering tradition and an unrivaled set of values that remain completely unruffled by time. While its continually

advancing engineering instills it with truly remarkable performance capabilities, its legendary endurance comes from the

way it is made. From its sturdy ladder frame and welded-steel body, to the looming of its wiring and the fitment of its many

luxuries, every G - Class is crafted virtually entirely by hand in Graz, Austria. Yet its engines, transmissions and brakes are

thoroughly modern, to put a world of power and precise control at your feet. And its versatile all- wheel drive system unites

excellent on- road manageability with the unparalleled off - road mastery of three sequentially lockable differentials1 and the

widest gear span of any SUV.2 The competence, confidence and capability of a G-Class come from why it was conceived,

where it’s created, and how it has always been crafted. From all that comes its character — delivered to you by hand.

G 550. A refined 382-hp 5.5-liter V- 8 generates a 391 lb- ft torrent of torque
and a 6.0- second rush from 0 to 60 mph.3 The flexible 7- speed automatic
transmission has been reengineered for quicker, smoother shifts. Rugged 18"
alloy wheels feature a twin 5 - spoke design and beefy 265/60R18 tires.

Profound. Beneath the stainless-steel running boards, genuine dual sidepipe
exhausts express the thunderous torque of the G - Class V-8 engines with a
throaty growl. Yet their distinctive voices are matched with certified ultralow
emissions, to leave little in their tracks beyond an indelible impression.

Proficient. A 7- speed automatic transmission and 2-speed transfer case
add up to the broadest gear range of any SUV in production. Whether you’re
climbing or crawling, cruising or chasing, the ideal balance of torque, control
and efficiency is at your command. Adaptive logic automatically paces the
shifting to fit your current driving style, while new shift paddles on the
steering wheel provide fingertip manual control of gear changes on demand.

G 63 AMG. A new handcrafted 5.5- liter biturbo V -8 creates a massive 536 hp
and 560 lb-ft of torque. Teamed with a fuel -saving ECO Start/Stop system
and a new multi-mode 7- speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT transmission, it thrusts to
60 mph in 5.3 seconds.3 Big, bold 20" AMG wheels wear 275/50R20 tires.

Progressive. As you explore further off-road,2 each of the three differentials
can be locked in sequence — center, rear, then front — via a set of buttons on
the dash.1 So when the road degrades from loose gravel to muddy ruts to no
road at all, the G - Class can upgrade its capability like no other SUV on earth.

Persuasive. More than 8.0 inches of both ground clearance and suspension
travel, along with steep approach and departure angles, allow a G - Class
to explore territory that most SUVs wouldn’t dare to enter.2 It can climb or
descend an 80% incline, and handle a 54% lateral slope. Rigid front and rear
axles with coil springs, gas - charged shock absorbers and a tight turning
circle meld rugged capability with remarkably nimble agility, off - road or on.

A PRECISE MULTIFUNCTIONAL TOOL

Information Provided by:

IN AN EXQUISITE NEW CASE.

From adventurous civilians to civil servants, from world explorers to world leaders,

the G-Class has earned an extremely loyal following during its first three decades

of production. And while each customer cherishes its capabilities in their own way,

perhaps none appreciates the breadth of its virtues better than the Swiss Army.

Does any name bring to mind versatility, precision and elegant functionality more

readily than the tool they made famous? If so, it begins with G — and for 2013, the

G-Class starts anew, with an entirely renovated cabin that brings innovative luxury

and inspiring design to their highest summit. With an ultramodern dashtop screen4

and intuitive central controller, the cockpit unites a world of advanced technology:

Voice- controlled navigation. Bluetooth® wireless audio streaming. Even the Internet,

with the new Mercedes - Benz mbrace2™ system5 that brings the tools you already

use to navigate your virtual world — like Google, Yelp and Facebook — directly to the

leather-covered dashboard. Whether your next excursion leads to a mountaintop or

a top-rated resort — the G-Class proves that usefulness need never feel utilitarian.

Unified. The COMAND system brings all of your
entertainment, navigation and Internet options
together via a convenient central controller on
the console and a vivid, stylish 7" dashtop color
screen. Controls on the wood/leather steering
wheel make it easy to adjust the audio, use the
Bluetooth interface,6 and thumb through the many
useful screens and graphical menus shown in a

4.5" color display in the new instrument cluster.

Flexible. For an unending variety of listening
choices, audio gear includes SiriusXM Radio with
6 months of service7 and HD Radio™ stations. Or
play your own soundtrack with the in- dash 6 - disc
DVD/CD player, Bluetooth audio streaming, an
SD card reader, AUX input and USB port, as well
as iPod® integration8 and a 10GB Music Register
for storing your digital music. And enjoy it all in
450 watts of harman/kardon LOGIC7® surround
sound, played through 12 high- fidelity speakers.

Expedient. A state - of - the - art navigation system9
features a fast 80GB hard drive and 3D maps with
building profiles and lane guidance. Its Enhanced
Voice Control can learn your own way of speaking.
It also brings you SiriusXM Traffic with dynamic
re-routing, SiriusXM Weather, plus Zagat® Survey
ratings for restaurants, hotels and golf courses.

Skillful. New to the 2013 G - Class, PARKTRONIC
uses ultrasonic sensors in the front and rear
bumpers, along with audiovisual displays in the
cabin, to alert you to nearby obstacles as you
negotiate tight spaces. To make backing up even
easier, a rear view camera with on- screen active
parking guidelines is also standard.10 Rain- sensing
front wipers and an electrically heated windshield
help keep your forward vision clearer. And the
streamlined heated power side mirrors can be
folded in electrically — at the touch of a button,
or automatically as you remote-lock the vehicle.

MADE TO OUTMEASURE.

Information Provided by:

HANDCRAFTED AS ALWAYS. OUTFITTED LIKE NEVER BEFORE.

Even with its dramatically new design, ergonomically optimized layout and lavish

new luxuries, the G -Class cabin remains a living tribute to a tradition that’s all

but vanished from the earth. Its handcrafted quality cannot be measured by the

half- mile of thread or the 45,000 stitches that tailor its seats and dash in leather.

The electric motors, tiny fans and pneumatic chambers that serve within its front

seats can only be quantified in the totality of their exquisitely enduring comfort.

The precision of its climate control sensors and filters only becomes tangible

when you feel the results of their efforts. And its sustainably forested wood trim

is best gauged by the depth reflected in its hand-polished glow. In truth, the only

figures that accurately measure the G-Class cabin are simple and small: The pairs

of hands that lovingly bring it to life. And the single inspector who, for 33 years,

has allowed no G-Class to undergo your scrutiny until it first meets his. Enduring

traditions are precisely what make the G- Class a legend of endurance in itself.

Impeccable. From the solidity of its welded body
to its supple Premium leather seating, a G - Class
feels as if its hewn from a single piece because
it’s been handcrafted with a singular focus. You
can feel the precision in the reassuring click of
each door latch, and in the finely stitched leather
covering its redesigned dashboard. Gaze deeply
into the hand- finished wood trim and you can see
quality that’s generations deep. And in its crisp
brushed aluminum accents, from the rings around
its new gauges and controls to its rubber-studded
pedals, you can appreciate both the attention to
detail and the sense of timelessly modern style.

Tailored. The 10- way power front seats are both
heated and Active Ventilated, for instant comfort
in any climate. Multicontour adjustment lets you
fine-tune the lumbar, thigh and shoulder supports.
Each seat also features a 3 - position memory,
with the settings for the 4-way power steering
column and side mirrors included for the driver.

Generous. The rear seats accommodate three
individuals, with the outboard positions heated.
The seats also fold down and tumble forward in

of cargo.11 The counterbalanced, side-hinged
rear door opens with one hand to reveal a richly
carpeted and usefully shaped luggage area.

Fastidious. Proven in some of the world’s most
unforgiving environments, the automatic climate
control offers an elegant new operating panel,
dual temperature zones and rear- cabin air vents.
The system filters dust and pollen particles as fine
as 0.0002" from the incoming air. And a residual
heating mode can help keep the cabin warmer for
up to 20 minutes after you shut off the engine.

Individual. While every G - Class luxur y is fitted as
standard, exquisitely handcrafted designo leather
and wood trim (standard on the G 63 AMG) offers
an extensive palette of personalization options.

ONE MAN, ONE ENGINE.

PERFORMANCE ART, SIGNED BY THE ARTIST.

The heart of a G 63 AMG is its engine — a work of modern art crafted by the

hands of its own master engine builder, and crowned by a plaque bearing

his signature. The soul of AMG traces to an old German mill in 1967, where

two former Mercedes - Benz engineers set out to handcraft champion

racecars. Success on the track inspired them to apply their performance

pedigree to streetgoing Mercedes- Benz models. More than 45 years later,

virtually every facet of design and development — from transmissions and

brakes to distinctive cockpit appointments — remains a seamless alignment

of hands-on experience and high - performance engineering. More than

a motto, “One man, one engine” is a guiding principle in creating a car —

or a startlingly capable SUV — that can satisfy both the highest demands

of driving and the deepest desires of its driver.

The new G 63 AMG. A handcrafted biturbo
V- 8 generates 536 hp and 560 lb-ft of torque.
Accompanied by the unmistakable sound of
true dual sidepipe exhausts with four polished
tips, 60 mph arrives in just 5.3 seconds.3 The
engine’s light weight and such advancements
as a fuel-saving ECO Start/Stop system team
up to return certified ultralow emissions along
with improved efficiency in everyday driving.

Multiple modes. The quick response of its
paddle-shifted 7- speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT
transmission is enhanced by three selectable
shift modes and rev -matched gear changes.

Gripping style. Rugged yet lightweight 20"
AMG twin 5- spoke wheels reveal a glimpse of
the large AMG brake hardware. Red- painted
calipers feature a 6- piston front configuration.

RIGOROUSLY PREPARED. VIGOROUSLY TESTED.

Information Provided by:

For more than three decades, the G-Class has been engineered, evolved and continuously enhanced to fulfill its ongoing mission: To faithfully transport its

occupants not just to some of the most demanding, challenging and even threatening conditions on six continents, but through them, and back home. That’s

why many of its drivers choose a G- Class in the first place — because they expect the unexpected to be part of their journey. But even when you’re not traveling

in search of adventure, misadventure can find you anywhere. So throughout its lifespan, the G-Class has repeatedly adopted safety breakthroughs pioneered

by Mercedes - Benz for its passenger cars. It offered the Antilock Braking System (ABS) in the 1980s, and a driver’s front air bag in the 1990s — even before

many cars had one. And every G-Class since its 2001 U.S. debut has been equipped with the Electronic Stability Program (ESP®), emergency- sensing Brake

Assist, and 4- wheel Electronic Traction System (4- ETS) — each of which were introduced both to cars and SUVs under the Three- Pointed Star. Enhancements for

2013 include adaptive brakes that can pre- charge before you even step on the pedal, and act to disperse water buildup as you drive on a rainy highway. There’s

a system that helps alert you when it senses a vehicle hiding in your blind spot. And should any one of its air bags or seat -belt tensioners be activated, the

standard mbrace® system can automatically place a call for help.5 No matter where you venture in a G-Class, you’re surrounded by its protective nature.

Brighter lighting. Standard Bi-Xenon headlamps generate light that’s
closer in perception to natural daylight than halogen headlamps, while
headlamp washers help keep the lamps cleaner with a high- pressure spray
of heated fluid. New for 2013, brilliant white LED Daytime Running Lamps
help to assert your presence more effectively to other drivers. LED turn
signals in the new side mirrors are designed to be easily seen by drivers in
the adjacent lane, or even pedestrians waiting to enter a crosswalk.

Advanced sensors. Whether negotiating the wilderness or a crowded
city, automated features help you keep your focus on the road and your
surroundings. A multi - element sensor turns on the headlamps not just
at dusk but as you enter a dark garage or tunnel. The windshield wipers
automatically adapt their speed and frequency to rainfall measured on the
glass. The electrically heated windshield can start clearing mist, fog and
ice even before the engine warms up. And the rear- window wiper swipes
automatically when you shift to Reverse while the front wipers are on.

Blind Spot Assist. A new standard system can alert you to some unseen
vehicles in the adjacent lane12 by illuminating an icon in either side mirror.
If you signal for a lane change while a vehicle is detected, a tone sounds.

Rear view camera. When you shift to Reverse, a live view of the area
behind your G-Class is shown on the large in- dash screen.10 It teams with
PARKTRONIC, whose ultrasonic sensors and in-cabin displays help you
detect and avoid nearby obstacles in front of or behind your vehicle.

Body structure. The fully galvanized steel G- Class body is welded at more
than 6,000 points, for exceptional strength. It’s mounted to a fully boxed
ladder- type frame that’s flow- treated with 50 liters of wax to help it resist
corrosion over years of use. Each vehicle takes more than 40 hours for its
artisans to craft by hand, but it creates a lifetime of legendary durability.

Adaptive braking. The 4- wheel disc brakes incorporate technology to
help make driving more reassuring and relaxing in a variety of situations.
If the driver lifts off the accelerator quickly, Predictive Brake Priming sets
the pads closer to the discs for quicker response. In the rain, Automatic
Brake Drying periodically applies the brakes gently, to sweep away water
buildup. Hill - Start Assist helps prevent unwanted rollback during uphill
starts. And a HOLD feature can help make stop-and-go traffic easier.2

Towing. Every G- Class can tow up to 7,500 lbs when properly equipped
with an aftermarket trailer hitch.15 When towing, standard Trailer Stability
Assist integrates with the sensors for ESP to help detect trailer oscillation,
and strategically applies the vehicle’s front brakes to help restore control.

All- wheel drive. In any season, the standard 4 - wheel Electronic Traction
System (4-ETS) continually redistributes torque to the wheels with the
best grip — even if that’s only a single wheel.1 A permanent 50:50 front/
rear torque split helps assure nimble, balanced handling on dry roads, too.

Accident avoidance. Two safety systems pioneered by Mercedes - Benz
help you avoid potential collisions.1 The Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
responds to help keep the vehicle on course during extreme maneuvers.13
Brake Assist can maximize braking pressure if it detects an emergency
braking situation, potentially shortening your overall stopping distance.

DISTRONIC PLUS. This new, standard radar- based cruise control system,
yet another Mercedes- Benz innovation, adapts your set speed in response
to the flow of traffic ahead — automatically slowing until your path is clear
again. If the vehicle ahead slows to a stop, DISTRONIC PLUS can also
brake to a full halt, then resume automatically when traffic starts going.16

1

Advanced restraints. Within the welded steel body of the G- Class, four
air bags offer 6-way protection.17 Dual front air bags include a dual- stage
air bag for the driver. Side curtain air bags are provided for all four
outboard seating positions, and include a rollover sensor. Each of the four
outboard seat belts is equipped with both an Emergency Tensioning Device
(ETD) and a belt - force limiter. Every seating position features its own
adjustable head restraint, including NECK- PRO active head restraints for
the front seats that are designed to help reduce whiplash in a rear impact.

CREATED TO GO THE DISTANCE.

Information Provided by:

Forty years ago, Mercedes - Benz set out to create a “cross -country” vehicle with the robust reliability and capability

for industrial and military use, plus the comfort and safety for everyday enjoyment. Equally functional in its operation

and its aesthetic, it matched extreme off - road ability with on- road agility. After decades of winning coveted awards,

grueling endurance rallies and the confidence of its drivers, the legendary “G” remains steadfast in its mission.

1972 Development of a new type of off - road vehicle — one that

will excel in the toughest terrain yet provide the comfort
and safety engineering for which Mercedes -Benz is
renowned — begins in a cooperative agreement between
Daimler- Benz in Germany and Steyr- Daimler - Puch in Graz,
Austria. Mercedes - Benz engineers in Stuttgart focus on
the design and testing of the new vehicle, while the team in
Graz develops the production plans.

1979 Production of the new “G - Model” begins in Graz.
1983 A specially prepared and modified 280 GE enters — and

wins — the torturous Paris–Dakar Rally.

1994 The model line is officially renamed the “G- Class.”
1999 The first AMG- powered G - Class debuts with a 354 -hp V-8.
2001 A series of refinements coincide with the U.S. market

launch of the G- Class. New wheels, a chrome grille and
body- color bumpers surround a more luxurious cabin.
A series of new dynamic control systems are added,
including the Electronic Stability Program (ESP®), Brake
Assist and 4 - wheel Electronic Traction System (4- ETS).

2004 At the 25th anniversary of the G - Class, the G 55 AMG is

upgraded with a supercharged V- 8 developing 476 hp.

2006 A documentary filmmaker is the first foreigner to reach

the world’s coldest region, in Siberia, with a passenger
vehicle in winter. His stock G 500 drives nearly 19,000 km
without a breakdown in temperatures as frigid as –63°F.

2009 As of its 30th birthday, over 200,000 units have been

handcrafted in Graz since the start of production.

2012 Extensive reengineering for safety and performance, plus

an exquisite new cabin, reassert the G’s enduring appeal.

ENDNOTES

1 ESP, 4- ETS, ABS, Brake Assist and Trailer Stability Assist do not operate when the differential locks are engaged.

2 Off -road driving should only be attempted by drivers with the necessary skill, experience and understanding of the vehicle’s

limits. Locked differentials will limit steering ability. Read Operator’s Manual before driving off-road or in deep water.

3 Stated rates of acceleration are based upon manufacturer’s track results and may vary depending on model, environmental and

road surface conditions, driving style, elevation and vehicle load.

4 Display appearance may vary from system shown. See dealer for additional information.

5 All Mercedes -Benz mbrace® services operate only where cellular and Global Positioning Satellite signals are available, which are

provided by third parties and not within the control of Mercedes- Benz USA, LLC. An mbrace Package trial period is offered on
new, Certified Pre- Owned and pre-owned sales and leases at an authorized Mercedes -Benz dealer. Subscriber Agreement is
required for service to be active. Some services are only available on select vehicles. Your PIN is required in order to use certain
services. See your dealer or MBUSA.com/mbrace for details, including a list of compatible smartphones.

6 Bluetooth® interface does not provide phone charging or external antenna. Voice interactivity feature is dependent on selected

handset. Visit MBUSA- Mobile.com for details. Phone sold separately. See dealer for a list of approved compatible phones.

7 The purchase of a new, satellite radio -enabled vehicle includes 6 months of service for SiriusXM Radio, SiriusXM Traffic and

SiriusXM Weather. SiriusXM Traffic and Weather ser vices are available in select markets. If you decide to continue your SiriusXM
service at the end of this period, all SiriusXM services are sold separately, and the plan you choose will automatically renew and
bill at then- current rates until you call 1-866- 635-2349 to cancel. See SiriusXM Customer Agreement for complete terms, www.
siriusxm.com. Sirius U.S. Satellite service available only to those at least 18 years of age in the 48 contiguous United States, DC
and Puerto Rico (with coverage limitations).

8 All iPod® devices are sold separately. Feature not compatible with iPod Shuffle. See dealer for details.

9 While the navigation system provides directional assistance, the driver must remain focused on safe driving behavior, including

paying attention to traffic and street signs. The driver should utilize the system’s audio cues while driving and should only consult the
map or visual displays once the vehicle has been stopped in a safe place. Maps do not cover all areas or all routes within an area.

10 Rear view camera does not audibly notify driver of nearby objects and is not a substitute for actively checking around the vehicle

for any obstacles or people. Images displayed may be limited by camera field of view, weather, lighting conditions and the
presence of dirt, ice or snow on the camera.

11 Unsecured cargo can become hazardous in a collision. Always secure cargo using the floor- mounted tie-downs.

12 Blind Spot Assist may not be sufficient to avoid all accidents involving vehicles in your blind spot and does not estimate the speed of

approaching vehicles. It must not be used as a sole substitute for driver awareness and checking of surrounding traffic conditions.

13 No system, regardless of how advanced, can overcome the laws of physics or correct careless driving. Please always wear your

seat belt. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. Always drive carefully,
consistent with conditions. Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires.

14 Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions.

15 Vehicle must be properly equipped with an aftermarket trailer hitch. Read Operator’s Manual before towing. In some states,

aftermarket trailer brakes are required. See dealer for details.

16 DISTRONIC PLUS adaptive cruise control is no substitute for active driving involvement. It does not react to stationary objects, nor

recognize or predict the curvature and lane layout of the road or the movement of vehicles ahead. It is the driver’s responsibility
at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessar y
to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the DISTRONIC Proximity Warning System before braking, as
that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely. After braking the car for stopped traffic ahead, system resumes
automatically only if traffic pauses for less than 3 seconds.

17 WARNING: THE FORCES OF A DEPLOYING AIR BAG CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES TO A CHILD UNDER AGE 13. THE

SAFEST SEATING POSITION FOR YOUR CHILD IS IN THE REAR SEAT, BELTED INTO AN APPROPRIATE, PROPERLY INSTALLED CHILD
SEAT, OR CORRECTLY WEARING A SEAT BELT IF TOO LARGE FOR A CHILD SEAT. SEE OPERATOR’S MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL
WARNINGS AND INFORMATION ON AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS AND CHILD SEATS.

18 Roadside Assistance repairs may involve charges for parts, service and towing. Vehicle must be accessible from main roads.

Depending on the circumstance, these services may be provided by an outside provider, courtesy of Mercedes-Benz Roadside
Assistance. Restricted roadways, acts of nature and vehicle accessibility may limit our ability to provide ser vices to you. For full
details, eligibility requirements, and limitations/exclusions of Sign and Drive services, as well as the Roadside Assistance Program,
please see your dealer.

19 mbrace is compatible with Apple iPhone® models running iOS 4.2 or later, and Android- based phones running OS 2.1 or later.

FOR A SMALL BLUE PLANET.

Information Provided by:

For more than 125 years — longer than any other automaker — we’ve been sharing this planet with you. And for

generations, Mercedes-Benz has been breaking new ground to help preserve the earth for future generations.

We introduced the world’s first 100% CFC - free car, not just in its air conditioning but in its entire production

process. We’ve used water-borne paint since the 1990s. And our cars have long used steam-expanded foam,

sustainably forested wood, and natural products from coconut, flax and even olives. We’ve been pioneering

advanced powertrains for generations, leading not just to today’s BlueEFFICIENCY gasoline, clean diesel and

hybrid models, but to the electric and fuel cell vehicles of a tomorrow that’s already here. Mercedes-Benz is

also legendary for making cars of exceptional durability. After all, it takes about the same energy to build a car

that lasts as one that won’t. And along with award-winning factories and processes, we’re helping to develop

local infrastructures around the world to help bring a greener future to life. Like every aspect of Mercedes-Benz

innovation, today’s work sets the stage for the mobility — and the planet — that everyone will enjoy tomorrow.
