The New G-Class

The new G-Class is more powerful and better than ever.

Exceptional Evolution.

In 2012 the G-Class is presenting itself once again in a considerably enhanced form, reinforcing its top position amongst off-road vehicles. It was first designed in 1979, originally specifically for tough off-road use, and has experienced an astonishing evolution.
This off-road specialist was first designed for practicality and austerity, and in the course of thirty-three years, Mercedes-Benz has refined it, giving it a high-class interior and the road-holding qualities of a premium saloon made in Stuttgart. Today the G-Class is viewed as the top model of luxury off-road vehicles, and has been used as the generic basis for the other successful Mercedes-Benz SUVs.

Fuel consumption combined: 17.0-11.2 l/100 km;
CO2 emissions combined: 397-295 g/km*

 

Discreet exterior modifications.

An extensive facelift now means that the off-road classic will continue to be in a class of its own. New LED daytime running lamps and new exterior mirrors have only made a subtle alteration to the exterior looks of this luxury off-roader.

The timeless design, almost unchanged since 1979, has made the G-Class a design icon.

 

Finishing touches to the interior.

The instrument panel and the centre console have been completely revamped, with newly designed controls and generous, exclusive trim elements. This means a new look
for the premium interior fittings. Between the two circular instruments there is now a colour display. Another large colour screen is located in the middle, within easy view from the driver’s seat, and forms part of the standard COMAND Online system with internet access.
Optional safety features include DISTRONIC PLUS, Blind Spot Assist and the PARKTRONIC parking assistance system with reversing camera.

Style-defining details.

In order to preserve the character of the G-Class, some style-defining elements were retained in the interior. For example, the cockpit still has the handle on the front-passenger side and the familiar high-sheen silver switch for the three differential locks placed in the driver’s field of vision, and the newly designed selector lever in the lower central console.
In addition to the high-end interior fittings which come as standard, there are many further individual options available from the exclusive designo programme.
