GLOBAL ENTRY

PERPETUAL

EMOTION

Mercedes-Benz engineers created the G-Class to be a vehicle that could literally go the distance —

any distance — and back. Its sense of fashion was born of the surety of its function. Conceived and

craed to earn the respect and trust of its drivers, it’s won something even rarer: their affection.

“For as long as man has roamed the earth.” More than a
poetic way of expressing the entirety of human history,
it reveals a simple fact: The fundamental nature of our
species has always been to explore and discover. We’ve
traveled great distances to expand life’s richness — and
brought our discoveries home to enjoy and share. And
whether on a mission or merely wandering, the richest
rewards often appear as we search for something else.
Almost as often, they’re discovered within ourselves —
when we dare to take ourselv es into the great unknown.

The G‑ Class was conceived to venture into the unknown
with a sense of confidence that’s now quite well‑ known.
For 38 years, it’s been crafted by hand to put the world
at your feet — by matching capability with durability and
reliability. From longitude to elevation, in terrain and
temperature, it faces extremes without fear. And while
countless vehicles have since faded into irrelevance or
plunged into obsolescence, the G‑ Class has continually
evolved while staying true to its mission: to go virtually
any wh ere you want to take it, and then usher you hom e.

The legendary ability of the G‑ Class has earned it “street
cred” in places far from any street. Its galvanized steel
body rides atop a fully boxed ladder‑ type frame, each of

them welded by hand. Solid front and rear axles match
rugged rigidit y with the flexibility of at least 8" of wheel
travel. Seven paddle‑shifted speeds, a 2‑speed transfer
case and three sequentially lockable differentials give
its all‑ wheel drivetrain versatility that’s unmatched by
ordinar y SUVs. It’s why a G‑Class can crawl, climb and
claw through severe conditions, yet carve through city
traffic or cruise the open highway with co ol composure.

No matter where you explore in a G ‑ Class, civilization
is neither lost nor remote. Its capabilities may inspire
you to push beyond your personal comfor t zone, but the
“G” will coddle you in its own. Like the running gear, its
cabin is also created by wrapping modern technology in
meticulous handwork. Some 45,000 stitches tailor the
leather on its seats, dash and doors. Yet you can tune in
100,000 terrestrial, satellite and Internet radio stations
from the comfort of its heated and ventilated seats.

For 2017, you can live the G ‑ Class legend for yourself in
any of four ways: The iconic 416‑hp biturbo V8 G 550. The
intense 563 ‑ hp AMG G 63. The heroic AMG G 65, with a
621‑hp biturbo V12. And a towering new superhero, the
ultra‑capable G 550 4×42. Choosing which one’s for you
takes just one question: How far would you like to go?
