First revealed to the world in 1979, the ladder-frame work truck from Mercedes quickly made headlines as the most holy form of transport – a ‘Popemobile’.
It is as much a working vehicle like the Toyota LandCruiser70 Series as it is a status symbol in full-fat V8 AMG guise. One thing it has never sacrificed is go-anywhere dependability.
The latest all-electric model pays homage to the original design and has a unique ‘G-Turn’ capability.
The line-up currently starts at $246,500 for the G-Class G 400D and ranges through to $413,561 for the range-topping G-Class G 63 Grand Edition.
