Top Marques with Niki Mills: The Mercedes Benz G Class, when luxury meets off-road

The Mercedes Benz G Class, also known colloquially as the G-Wagen, has always been one of Mercedes Benz’s most iconic models.

With its signature tough and simplistic boxy look, it has grown in popularity in the Luxury 4WD segment as the current ‘must have’ SUV for sports stars, celebrities, and those that appreciate a more unique look.

First introduced in 1979, the G-Wagen has been upgraded over the years with multiple engine improvements, safety features and technology, to now offering, for example the full Mercedes Benz Virtual Glass Cockpit, 9-speed automatic gearboxes and even the AMG V8 Bi-Turbo engine option in the G 63 version.

With full time 4WD and Triple Diff locks, many also underestimate just how good this model can be when off-road. A visit to YouTube will surprise you with their performance in some extreme situations.
