Overview

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class, also known colloquially as the G-Wagon or G-Wagen (abbreviation of Geländewagen), is a luxury SUV with military origins. It features boxy styling and body-on-frame construction, equipped with three fully locking differentials, making it one of the few passenger vehicles to have such capability. Despite the introduction of an intended replacement in 2006, the G-Class remains in production as one of Daimler's longest-running models. The second-generation W463 was introduced in 2018 with significant updates including a revised chassis, powertrain, body, and interior.
