For 35 years, it’s been built by hand to put the world at your feet. It’s been conquering lonely lands and crowded cities. Winning accolades, and earning loyalty. Venturing far, and returning home. Some say the G-Class is a living legend. But in every journey taken, every moment captured, and every dream set free, its stories are pure nonfiction. Inside every G, there’s a lifetime of experience. And a driver who’s living a legend all their own.
G 550 . From its 18" wheels and stainless steel running boards to its lavishly outfitted cabin, the G 550 matches ruggedness with refinement like no other SUV. A 382-hp V-8 and paddle - shifted 7-speed automatic transmission can whisk you to 60 mph in 6.0 seconds.1 Its confident all-wheel drive pairs state-of- the -art on -road technology2 with the off-road prowess of three locking differentials.3 Within its iconic handcrafted body, innovative features immerse you in abundant luxury and modern civilization.
G 63 AMG. A hand - built 536 -hp biturbo V-8 thrusts the handcrafted G 63 AMG from 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds. Its 560 lb-ft of torque is unleashed with the unmistakable rumble of a sport exhaust featuring genuine sidepipes. Beefy 20" AMG® wheels fill out its widened fender flares. Red brake calipers add visual heat, while the enlarged mesh intakes in its front bumper feed vital air to its turbo intercoolers and oil coolers. Supple Nappa leather and AMG instrumentation highlight its fully equipped cabin.

The G‑Class wasn’t designed to be an icon. Its origami‑like shape simply offers more space for you and your gear, with less size to maneuver. That might be why the G fits in most anywhere, from purple mountains to the red carpet. It may be the only time getting into a box lets you get out of one.

Benz engineers set out on a mission to rediscover the earth. Their objective was to create an entirely new type of vehicle that combined extreme capability with extraordinary civility. Eight years of development ensued, but the result was only the start of the real journey: an adventure that’s spanned all seven continents, climbed up mountains and out of valleys, and crossed the Sahara and Siberia. Over its first three and
a half decades, the vehicle now well known as the G‑ Class has carried explorers and their gear to the deepest corners of the map, yet it’s also delivered dignitaries to the spotlight, and shielded them from the paparazzi. Its shape was born purely from its purpose — a crisply folded cube that fits the most cabin space within a footprint that’s maneuverable on tangled trails or in even congested cities. Its flat glass could be temporarily replaced by a remote local hardware store in
a pinch, and its spare tire is mounted for easy access with no need to rearrange cargo or face a muddy undercarriage. Its authenticity is the source of its timeless appeal — a work of modern design that’s become as beloved as the character within. As the G enters its 36th year, it now offers an equal number of paint choices. It’s a level of custom‑tailoring made possible by its handcraftsmanship. It also achieves another key element of its mission: to fulfill the dreams of its driver.
On top of your world.

Even as the G‑ Class helps you escape the everyday world, its innovations help you feel both coddled and in control. Ergonomic design displays are ensconced in handcrafted leather and wood — a fusion of everlasting values and ever‑advancing vision.

While the construction of the G‑Class imparts an undeniable feeling of solidity, its cabin inspires a sense of solidarity — a reassuring connection between you, your G and the world. It starts with the driving position and commanding view, but it extends far beyond. Clear gauges and two high‑ resolution color screens — one in the instrument cluster and one at the center — are all aligned for easy comprehension at a glance. In your hands, a multifunction steering wheel puts the most
commonly used features at your fingertips. Shift paddles do the same for the seven speeds of the transmission. Let your hand fall naturally to the console, and while a leather‑ lined armrest supports your elbow, a central controller brings new worlds of entertainment and information to your hand, eyes and ears. From standard navigation and surround sound to an ever‑growing array of Internetbased features4 and apps available with MercedesBenz mbrace,® you can explore from
the comfort of your G‑Class as easily as you do from home. Useful tools such as Google and Yelp help guide you around town or cross‑country. And so you won’t have to go it alone, virtually or actually, there’s spacious seating for five adults — or up to 75.1 cu ft of cargo room with the 2⁄3:1⁄3 rear seats folded and tumbled.5 The rich cabin appointments will help everyone aboard feel like they’re king of the road, too — with virtually every sur face they touch crafted by caring hands.
Built, like no other SUV.

You can feel it the moment you close a door: a solid, precise click that captures the character of the G-Class in a single component. Even after 35 years of technological evolution, every G is still crafted by hand in Graz, Austria. It takes some 40 hours of labor to create a single vehicle, a time-well -spent philosophy that’s reflected in its enduring quality. Skilled team members flow 50 liters of wax through its fully boxed ladder frame to help it fend off corrosion. They weld its galvanized steel body at more than 6,000 points for vault-like solidity, then double-check their work by hand for strength and panel smoothness. From the looming of its wiring harness to the polishing of its wood trim, each G-Class is brought to life through the expertise of human handwork. There’s a reason no other SUV feels like a G. No other SUV is built like one.
