The G-Class was built to go to war. Developed in the 1970s with Austria's Steyr-Daimler-Puch and launched in 1979, the Gelandewagen was a slab-sided, three-locking-differential off-roader designed for armies, border patrols and anyone who needed to cross a mountain without a road. It has been built in Graz ever since, and it has served everyone from soldiers to a pope. Almost by accident, it also became one of the most coveted luxury vehicles on earth.
The transformation came gradually as Mercedes added leather, V8s and finally AMG power, and by the 2000s the G-Wagen was as much at home outside Los Angeles boutiques as on Alpine trails. A thoroughly re-engineered version arrived in 2018 with independent front suspension and a modern cabin, but kept the square silhouette, the door handles that close with a rifle-bolt clack and the exposed hinges. Critics find it thirsty, noisy and expensive; owners simply do not care.
The line now includes the AMG G63, the most popular version, and an electric G-Class with four individual motors that can spin the vehicle in place like a tank. Mercedes has confirmed a convertible will return and that a smaller G-Class is coming, one that the company says will differ significantly from the original. Rivals include the Land Rover Defender and Range Rover, Lamborghini Urus, Rolls-Royce Cullinan and Toyota's Land Cruiser for buyers who prioritize the mountain. The coverage here follows reviews and off-road tests, electric G news, the baby G-Class and convertible programs, Brabus and Mansory creations, celebrity and collector stories, and the recalls and updates that affect the line.
The boxy Austrian-built off-roader that went from military duty to celebrity status symbol, now offered as an AMG G63, an electric G and a coming baby G.
