5 Features We Love About The Mercedes-Benz G-Class

If the latest celestial advert is anything to go by, we know that the latest model of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class puts the G-Wagen, an abbreviation of Geländewagen, into otherworldly territory.

So, whilst we may be immediately charmed by the G-Wagen's impressive exterior, what are the features that really make our hearts swell?

1. Unparalleled technology

And no, they’re not gimmicks, these technological features are the real deal. From the temperature-controlled cup holder to the automatic garage door opener, these features are tailored to the driver’s every possible need, even the ones you never knew you needed.

These personal touches go on, with Burmester 3D surround sound system, a whopping 19 speakers with 760 watts of system output, for the ultimate cinematic experience. For a truly connected world, the car also comes with smartphone integration to your favourite apps and multimedia systems such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and furthermore, with wireless phone charging, you’ll never need to worry about running out of battery.

It’s these touches that make the G-Class feel like a home from home, it even has ambient lighting!

2. Iconic design

The Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen is distinctive, striking and recognisable the world over. Whilst the design has been given a more contemporary facelift in recent years the silhouette of the car remains true to its inception in the late 70s when it was originally created for military use.

Its rugged, boxy shape emphasises the durability and off-road capability. With its upright stance, flat panels, exposed hinges, and round headlights, the G-Wagen combines a retro aesthetic with modern luxury touches, like premium leather interiors and advanced technology.

It’s safe to say that stepping inside the G-Wagen comes with a certain prestige.

3. Customisation

Whilst the design is certainly iconic, there are endless possibilities to personalise the G-Wagen to your own tastes.

The Mercedes-Benz MANUFAKTUR program gives you access to a range of custom, personalised elements to reflect your own personal style. Choose from a range of exterior paint colours, trims and and upholstery.

When it comes to exterior paint choices, we’re not talking your standard black or grey, but something a little more special such as the Cardinal Red Metallic or Dakota Brown Mango Matte. So, whether you’re looking for a boldness or subtleness in your colour choices, there’s something for every type of buyer. 

On the interior, the MANUFAKTUR program’s exclusive upholstery choices means that you can select from a whole catalogue of colourways to suit your tastes, knowing that every stitch is made with premium craftsmanship too.

4. Off-roading capabilities

The G-Wagen isn’t all style and no substance, its offroad capabilities on the mountain has been proving itself since 1979. Whilst in recent years, a G-Wagen has gained popularity with city drivers too, the performance shouldn’t be questioned. The G-Wagen has a 7G-tronic gearbox, an impressive ground clearance of 9.25 inches, and permanent all-wheel drive allowing it to handle even some of the most difficult off-road situations.

5. It's size!

The G-Wagen is often described as being designed for tall people and the spaciousness of the vehicle in the front and back makes this certainly ring true.

With plenty of headroom and legroom for all passengers, the wide cabin makes the G-Class a truly comfortable way to travel. With a panoramic glass roof overhead too, the room inside feels even loftier – perfect for stargazing on outdoor adventures!
