Why buy an Approved Used Mercedes-Benz G-Class?
Dating back to the late 1970s, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is one of the world's most iconic SUVs, keeping the same silhouette that it had upon initial launch.
Of course, it has been enhanced with neater, more up-to-date styling and plenty of digital interior technology, but the blocky G-Wagen silhouette of the original is still there, showcased proudly.
Engine choice comes in the form of a 3.0-litre, 6-cylinder diesel engine with 322bhp. This means, despite its large size, the G-Class can still accelerate from 0 to 62mph in 6.4 seconds, whilst returning around 30mpg. The real gem of the range is, of course the range-topping G 63 AMG, which uses a 4.0-litre V8 engine pumping out 576bhp, good for 0 to 62mph in just 4.5 seconds. It will be thirsty, though, returning around 21mpg.
Overall running costs are pretty expensive, especially for the AMG variant. Tyres are a considerable cost, but when compared to other premium SUVs, the G-Class is similar. Servicing can be completed at any Stratstone Mercedes-Benz retailer.
Being boxy and old school in its iconic style, there is plenty of interior space, with a massive 640-litre boot, which increases to a van-like 2,010 litres with the rear seats folded.
Yes, the official Mercedes-Benz name is G-Class, but they are also known as G-Wagon or G-Wagen.
G-Class cars are special because of their iconic history, which dates back to the late 1970s. Today, the silhouette is still the same, with its boxy, iconic shape.
The G stands for Gelandewagen, which means cross-country vehicle.
Like many cars, depreciation means G-Class does become more affordable, especially for older generations, but when new, their iconic timeless design, impressive off-road capability, excellent refinement, choice of engines, and general Mercedes-Benz excellence justify their price.
