When you want your next mid-size SUV to be able to take on harsh environments without sacrificing comfort, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a ride that does it better than the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Its extra-tough ladder frame and advanced all-wheel-drive technologies mean that it conquers challenging terrain with ease. Here’s a quick and handy guide to some of the G-Class’ most intriguing features.
Power and Performance
The base G 550 model is motivated by a turbocharged 3.0L inline-6 that features a 48-volt mild-hybrid assist and generates a brawny 443 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque. Handling shifting duties is a 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission with three overdrive ratios for increased fuel efficiency. Steering wheel-mounted shift paddles provide added engagement, plus the DYNAMIC SELECT system introduces selectable drive modes like ECO, comfort, and sport.
Even more powerful variants of the G-Class include the all-electric G 580 with EQ Technology, which pumps out 579 hp, and the 577-hp AMG G 63. The latter boasts a handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 that enables a staggering 0-to-60 time of just 4.2 seconds.
Handling and Off-Road Capability
Every G-Class variant has been fitted with an independent double-wishbone front suspension and rigid-axle rear suspension that comes with a lateral Panhard rod for greater articulation and ground clearance. This setup allows the vehicle to remain stable and predictable during hard cornering and while traveling over uneven terrain. It has also been tuned to maintain a smooth ride quality.
Standard adaptive damping automatically optimizes handling for any situation and can adjust itself according to the selected drive mode. All-wheel drive is standard, as well, and complemented by a 2-speed transfer case and three lockable differentials. These components combine to ensure unparalleled control as you navigate through the toughest trails.
Interior and Amenities
As you’d expect from a Mercedes-Benz vehicle, the G-Class promises an exceptionally luxurious experience. The cabin’s genuine leather and available MANUFAKTUR leather upholstery can be had in a wide range of colors, including duo-tone schemes. A beautiful selection of interior trim ranges from Light Brown Sen wood and Metal Weave to MANUFAKTUR Black Piano Lacquer and AMG Carbon Fiber.
Heating for the seats and steering wheel, tri-zone climate control, and a power tilt/sliding glass sunroof are all standard. You can even place your beverages in heated and cooled cup holders. A 64-color LED ambient lighting system helps to set the right mood. Along with a massive 12.3-inch multimedia touchscreen system, the cabin sports an 18-speaker 3D surround sound system from Burmester.
Perfectly marrying incredible off-roading prowess with elegant style and luxury, Mercedes-Benz’s G-Class is in a class of its own. Make a stop at Mercedes-Benz of Milwaukee North in Milwaukee, WI today and discover it for yourself!
