It’s strong, rugged and full of overbearing intimidation, but that’s exactly why drivers flock to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Never mind the retro appearance that dates back to the 70s, everything beyond the image and charm of the G-Class is more than old-school appeal. There is potent turbo power and immense road handling qualities to acknowledge, with the G-Class showcasing precise steering and the benefits of a slick Auto gearbox on bitumen. And then there is the sense of euphoria when you take it off-road.

It may look like a military vehicle, even to some extent drive like and operate with the visceral chortle of a military vehicle, but that’s the lure of the G-Class. It doesn’t pay to be shy.

Few companies are prepared to spend millions of dollars d...
Ever wondered where the G came from in all of Mercedes-Benzs SUV nomenclature? For almost 30 years, Mercedes-Benzs G Class (G is short for Gelndewagen , or cross-country vehicle), has been quietly yet steadfastly regarded as Stuttgarts most formidable flagship off-roader, and its legacy has been passed down the line to every high-rider that the company build...
