Fascination. To drive a G-Class is to experience a vehicle that can rise to any occasion. As you would expect, it has all the attributes which make a Mercedes-Benz what it is: dynamism, comfort, safety and status. Yet it is different. Although it has been continually updated, modernised and equipped with technical innovations, the G-Class has remained true to its roots like practically no other vehicle: it has the same classic shape, the same rugged design, and the same mission to cope with extreme conditions. These characteristics make it the only Mercedes-Benz that is at least as much at home off the road as on it. It is an unfailingly reliable partner which impresses whether parked at the kerbside or negotiating a mountainside. In fact, it is an object lesson in how staying resolutely down to earth is the key to attaining new heights of excellence.
