The 2022 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.

2022 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G 550 4dr SUV 4WD (4.0L 8cyl Turbo 9A)

We just finished a vacation in Naples FL, rented a G Wagon for the week with plan to try before you buy. After driving the 2022 G550 for a week I’m good.

The doors feel like those of a bank vault …

2020 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G 550 4dr SUV 4WD (4.0L 8cyl Turbo 9A)

The best suv I've owned. It can't be beaten. I enjoy my privacy and driving a G550, unfortunately, steals any privacy you may have.

And, of course, the younger crowd seeking attention that rev up their engines at …

Safety

Our experts like the G-Class models:

Pre-Safe system: 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.
