Design
The cubic root of timeless design.
A thriving legend
Created to conquer challenges on six continents, the 39-year evolution of the G-Class keeps elevating the pinnacle of refinement. From its advanced lighting to its classic upright shape, its purposeful elegance is both unmistakable and irrefutable. Every surface of the G-Class reflects its confident capability on any surface of the earth.
Built, like no other SUV.
Overbuilt by hand
Its sturdy ladder frame and galvanized steel body are hand-welded. The frame is flowed with hot wax to resist corrosion. Even its wiring harnesses are hand-loomed. It takes more than 40 hours to craft each G-Class virtually entirely by hand. Beyond strength, more than quality, how a G-Class comes to life bestows it with unwavering character.
Matched by eye, unmatched by anything.
Crafted with care
Exquisitely handcrafted cabin appointments offer an enticing palette of personalization: A selection of Nappa leathers, in a variety of styles, colors and stitching details. Six hand-finished cabin trims in rich wood or carbon fiber. And a spectrum of paintwork, from classically elegant to colorfully expressive.
designo manufaktur: Tailored to suit your desires.
The art of haute couture
The G-Class is all about individuality. With the designo manufaktur program, you can customize your G-Class with a wealth of interior and exterior options to suit your desires. Your bespoke, handcrafted vehicle will be finished to the very finest level. The one thing you will still have in common with other G-Class drivers is impeccable taste.
Performance
Unmatched aptitude at any altitude.
Three lockable differentials
As you make your way off-road, three sequentially lockable differentials offer increasingly masterful capability. Each differential can be locked in sequence (center, rear, then front) via a set of buttons on the dash, to help maintain the ideal balance of torque and traction for the situation.**
Attitude at any latitude.
TV8 biturbo power for the G 550
An advanced V8 biturbo engine generates 416 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque from a compact 4.0 litres of displacement. Able to thrust the G 550 from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds, it features a “hot inside V” turbo layout, patented low-friction NANOSLIDE cylinder walls, and an ECO Start/Stop system. ***
Unwavering confidence in any season.
Permanent all-wheel drive
The standard G-Class permament all-wheel drive system continually sends power to all four wheels. Its 4-wheel Electronic Traction System (4-ETS) instantly apportions torque to the wheels that can use it best, for surefooted grip on snowy and wet roads. Off-road, its locking differentials help you conquer muddy, loose or uneven terrain.****
It’ll take you to extremes. And back again.
The towering G 550 4×4²
Timeless, meet fearless. With nerves of hand-welded steel, the G 550 4×4-squared heightens every measure of G-Class capability. Gear-driven portal axles and 22-inch wheels create 438 mm of ground clearance. Dual spring-struts and a quarter-metre of added track conquer extreme terrain, yet they let you enjoy its lavish cabin on any road.
Horsepower in your hands.
The AMG G 63 and AMG G 65
There are only two handcrafted SUVs with handcrafted power, and they both start with G: the 563-hp V8 biturbo AMG G 63 and 621-hp V12 biturbo AMG G 65. A single master craftsman hand-builds each vehicle’s engine. It’s teamed with an AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7-speed and 20-inch or 21-inch AMG wheels, and wrapped in exquisite luxury.
Technology
Comfortable cruising, extra sensory perceptions.
Safer driving made easier
Technological teamwork helps make driving safer and easier. Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC cruise control uses radar to adapt your speed to the traffic flow, even stop-and-go. Blind Spot Assist, a rearview camera and Active Parking Assist help you sense your surroundings, for added safety when changing lanes or manoeuvring in tight quarters.*****
Thoughtful technology, for extreme conditions
Advanced benefits
From electric heating of the windshield, side mirrors and rear window to four heated seats, a G-Class starts to dispel winter’s harshness even before the engine warms up. And from Climate Comfort and multicontour front seats to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, all standard, you’ll find new ways to enjoy your G-Class year-round.******
Comprehensive entertainment, expert guidance.
Music, navigation and more
Advanced entertainment, navigation and communication systems work with intuitive ease in the G-Class. Bluetooth® lets you make calls hands-free and play music cable-free. The elegant central controller and color displays put a world of features within easy reach. Available Rear Seat Entertainment brings first-rate video to the second row.*******

**ESP, 4-ETS, ABS, Brake Assist and Trailer Stability Assist do not operate when the differential locks are engaged. Off-road driving should only be attempted by drivers with the necessary skill, experience and understanding of the vehicle’s limits. Locked differentials will limit steering ability. Read Operator’s Manual before driving off-road or in deep water.

No system, regardless of how advanced, can overcome the laws of physics or correct careless driving. Please always wear your seat belt. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires.
*****Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, Blind Spot Assist and Active Parking Assist are not available on G 550 4×4-squared. DISTRONIC adaptive cruise control is no substitute for active driving involvement. It does not adapt cruising speed in response to stationary objects, nor does it predict the curvature and lane layout of the road ahead or the movement of vehicles ahead. It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the system’s alerts before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions. Blind Spot Assist is a warning system only and may not be sufficient to avoid all accidents involving vehicles in your blind spot and does not estimate the speed of approaching vehicles. It should not be used as a sole substitute for driver awareness and checking of surrounding traffic conditions. See Operator’s Manual for systems’ operating speeds and additional information and warnings. Rearview camera does not audibly notify driver of nearby objects and is not a substitute for actively checking around the vehicle for any obstacles or people. Images displayed may be limited by camera field of view, weather, lighting conditions and the presence of dirt, ice or snow on the camera.
