Never before has the Mercedes-Benz G-Class been so modern, innovative and comfortable. The latest incarnation of the classic off-road vehicle, which has been in production for 27 years, comes with an advanced V6 diesel engine. The 2987-cc light-alloy powerplant delivers 165 kW/224 hp and a maximum torque of 540 Newton metres, and is fitted as standard with a maintenance-free particulate filter. The G-Class line-up also includes two eight-cylinder models: the G 500 developing 218 kW/296 hp and the G 55 AMG whose AMG V8 supercharged engine boasts an output of 368 kW/500 hp and 700 Newton metres of torque.

All figures refer to long Station Wagon
And in terms of drive system the Mercedes-Benz evergreen off-roader is still rated one of the best vehicles in its class. The standard-fit, electronically controlled 4ETS traction system improves adhesion when moving off and accelerating on slippery, wet or icy surfaces. The Electronic Stability Program ESP® and the automatic Brake Assist system are also standard across the current G-Class range, along with the permanent all-wheel drive. In difficult off-roading conditions, three selectable differential locks with a locking factor of 100 percent and a low-range transfer case ratio can be engaged at the touch of a button.
The G 320 CDI and G 500 models are offered in all three body variants: the two Station Wagon versions with short or long wheelbase as well as the lavish Cabriolet with electro-hydraulic soft-top are available. The G 55 AMG top-of-the-line model is only available as a five-door Station Wagon.
