Model history

Since its introduction in 1979, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class has been considered the epitome of a robust off-road vehicle. Originally developed for military purposes, it was built in Graz by Magna Steyr and was also known as the "Puch G" in some countries until 2000.
The G-Class is characterized by its angular design, ladder frame, and three lockable differentials, features that make it unique to this day. Despite the planned successor, the GL-Class, the G was retained and underwent a comprehensive redesign in 2018.
