2021 Mercedes-Benz G-Class Review

Brand: Mercedes-Benz

Price Range: $137,777 - $156,783

Mercedes-Benz G-Class AMG G 63 4dr SUV Exterior Shown

The 2021 G-Class relies on style and emotion, rather than planning or execution, to justify its price. There's power and authority from behind the wheel, but this SUV is a mess when it comes to ergonomics and practicality. The technology is a letdown too.

2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G 550 4dr SUV 4WD (4.0L 8cyl Turbo 9A)

PRO: Incredible old-school build quality, like Bentley or Rolls. Hand assembled in Austria. Very solid, capable and strong. Feels safe and secure. Excellent engine and transmission. Great visibility. Smooth ride on 19 or 20" wheels and optional adaptive suspension. CON: compromised interior space utilization, fuel efficiency, large turning radius, wind noise above 70 mph. Many …

Safety

Our experts like the G-Class models:

Pre-Safe: Tightens seat belts, closes windows, and adjusts head restraints when the system detects an imminent collision.
Active Distance Assist Distronic: Maintains a driver-set distance between the G-Class and the car in front. Can bring the G-Class to a stop and automatically resume travel.
Active Brake Assist: Warns if a front impact with an object or pedestrian is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time.
