2020 Mercedes-Benz G-Class Review

Name: 2020 Mercedes-Benz G-Class Review
Brand: Mercedes-Benz

Price Range: $123,995 - $158,000

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

The 2020 G-Class relies on style and emotion to justify its price rather than planning or execution. 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.

I'm constantly being watched exiting, loading groceries, refueling, and the most uncomfortable, drivers aligning their vehicles alongside mine to film the car in action. And, of course, the younger crowd seeking attention that rev up their engines at …

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 to protect occupants when the system detects an imminent collision.
Active Distance Assist Distronic: Keeps a safe following distance from the car ahead even in traffic. Can bring the G-Class to a complete stop.
Active Brake Assist: Lets you know if an imminent front collision is detected and can automatically apply the brakes if you don't react in time.
