THE 2018 G-CLASS
What does a Hollywood premiere have in
common with discovering a cave full of
ancient treasures that’s been inaccessible
for centuries? Answer: If you’re going, you
need to make an entrance. Whether you’re
an archaeologist or an actor who’s cast to
play one, sometimes situations that seem
opposite on the surface turn out to share
a lot more when yo u dig a lit tle deeper. For
starters, you don’t just get there: It takes
years of work, and dedication to your craft.
It takes stamina and resolve, yet flexibility
and an eagerness to adapt. It takes a will-
ingness to be known for something, and
to live up to a legend — by living your own.
Mercedes-Benz
engineers created
the G-Class to go the
distance, and back.
Conceived and crafted
to earn the trust of
its drivers, it’s won
something even rarer:
their affection.
At home in any corner of the world.
At the edge of the red carpet or the shores
of the Red Sea, the Mercedes-Benz G- Class
has been making entrances for close to 40
years. No matter where it arrives, it does
it in a style entirely its own. Its capability
is evident on every sur face — true whether
you mean its crisply folded bodywork and
handcrafted cabin, or the terrain that it’s
conquered on all seven continents. And
no matter where it takes you, even more
important is the reputation it’s earned for
delivering you safely back home, whether
from a years-long trek or a crosstown trip.
Conceived before SUVs were trendy, the
“G” has achieved timelessness via a sense
of fashion that’s born from function — and
continuous advancement of what’s under-
neath. Developed to venture far into the
unknown, it offers a feeling of confidence
that’s become quite well-known. Crafted
like no other SUV — by hand — it can put the
world at your feet by matching its capabil-
ity with durability and reliability. As endur-
ing as it is en d ear i ng, the G- Cla s s was bo r n
to take you away. Yet after fo ur decades of
going virtually anywhere, it’s become just
as famous for sticking around. For staying
true to its mission. And true to its owners.

Capability
THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME
For a moment, you imagine the navigation
has a “surprise me” button. With just a tap
you would instantly embark toward some
exotic location — perhaps retracing one of
the G’s record-setting expeditions — guided
by a pleasant voice. “In 3,580 kilometers,
turn left to Siberia.” As you venture off the
narrow pavement, you reach for the set of
1
three buttons that lock the differentials
your G- Class. You push button “1” to make
the center differential send torque equally
to the front and rear axles. It’s the ideal
“four-wheeling ” setup for the dirt road, for
added grip while keeping it nimble in the
curves. Road turns to ruts and dust turns
to mud, so you lock the rear differential
(button “2”), then the front one (“3”), then
engage the low range and adjust your pa ce
to a careful crawl. In your head, you envi-
sion the illustrations that diagram your G’s
off-road capability in inches of clearance
and degrees of tilt. You can see the bene-
fits of its cubist shape just by looking out
the windows. After days of rising eleva-
tions, and nights of plungi ng temperatur es
and cooking over a fire, you reach the cir-
cl ed ar row on th e navig at ion sys te m’s map.
Its pleasant voice announces “ We’re here.”
in
morning newscast, your G-Class will take
it all in stride — without you pushing a but-
ton. Its rugged off-road features coexist
with an advanced set of traction, stability
and driver-assistance systems — many first
pioneered by Mercedes-Benz. On the road,
where you usually — maybe always — drive,4
you can feel the way they team up to make
your G-Class feel smooth and surefooted.
From its twin turbos to its dual-sidepipe
exhaust, you and your G are always ready
to revel and rumble. Its shift paddles put
its seven speeds and a torrent of V8 or
V12 torque at your fingertips. Its beefy
chassis puts the world at your feet. And
yet you don’t need to travel to far corners
of the globe to appreciate everything your
G- Class can do. No matter how far you’re
going, the fun starts at the nearest corner.
The G-Class
name comes from
Geländewagen, or
“cross-country vehicle.”
The first prototypes
Everyday adventures.
As much as you love imagining the grand
journey, in reality you just told the naviga-
tion to guide you home from a weekend
in the mountains. And while you’re about
to undergo a 6,000-ft change in elevation,
a 40° change in temperature, and enough
weather and traffic conditions to fill half a

were tested from the
Sahara to the Arctic
Circle. Production
models have returned
numerous times.
