2026 Mercedes-Benz G-Class

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class has received its most comprehensive update in decades -- though you might never guess it from the square-shaped exterior. A 416-hp twin-turbo V8 powers the base model G550. A more powerful AMG G63 version uses the same V8 turbo engine that generates 577 hp. Both engines are paired to a nine-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is standard, and a range of off-road biased gear ratios and locking differentials are available. The solid front axle has been replaced by an independent suspension to improve ride and handling. A solid rear axle remains. The cabin has been brought into the 21st century. The dials, vents, and infotainment system now mirror what a Mercedes customer would find in a typical E-Class or S-Class luxury sedan. All the important safety gear, such as automatic emergency braking and forward-collision warning, are standard. New for 2025 is an all-electric G580 with 579 hp.

Brand context

About Mercedes-Benz

Most Mercedes-Benzes give their owners industry-leading comfort and technology. The cost of that experience is an expensive base price with expensive options and below-average reliability. The brand produces a wide variety of vehicles for the U.S., including coupes, station wagons, sedans, convertibles, and even two-seat sports cars. Its two- and three-row SUVs that we’ve tested have powerful engines and interiors that are roomy and quiet. Generally, Mercedes-Benz fit and finish, inside and out, is exceptional and helps justify prices. Mercedes-Benz’s EVs range from compact to large three-row SUVs. Across the lineup, controls for the complex climate and infotainment systems aren’t as intuitive as we find in other luxury vehicles. Like most European luxury brands, used Mercedes-Benzes can have expensive out-of-warranty repairs, although Consumer Reports has found used models with above-average reliability.
