Model history

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class was originally developed in 1979 as a pure off-road vehicle – robust, angular, and uncompromisingly functional. It was created in cooperation with Steyr-Daimler-Puch in Austria, where it is still produced today. The G280 offered here belongs to the first generation (W460), which is considered a classic of the series. With its characteristic design, switchable all-wheel drive, and durable six-cylinder engine, this model symbolizes the origins of the G-Class. Later generations were technically refined, but visually, the original design remained virtually unchanged for decades—one reason why early W460 models are considered particularly authentic and sought-after today.

      Dieser G wurde ohne Rückbank ausgeliefert, eine Rückbank kann aber nachträglich ohne Probleme eingebaut werden. Mit freundlichen Grüßen - Ihr Kickdown Team

      Technik: Die G-Klasse (oder auch G-Modell; G steht für Geländewagen) ist eine Modellreihe von Mercedes-Benz, die seit 1979 produziert wird. Sie wurde in Kooperation mit dem österreichischen Steyr-Daimler-Puch-Konzern entwickelt und wird in Graz in der Steiermark hergestellt. Bis 2000 wurde die Klasse in Österreich und einigen anderen Ländern unter der Marke Puch G verkauft. Die Karosserieform des Fahrzeuges wurde zwischen 1979 und 2018 kaum verändert, technisch erfuhr es aber immer wieder Verbesserungen und Aktualisierungen. Diese betrafen vor allem Motoren, das Interieur und Sicherheitsmerkmale. Die Produktion des geschlossenen Modells mit kurzem Radstand wurde 2012 eingestellt, die Fertigung des Cabriolets 2013. 2018 präsentierte Mercedes-Benz eine komplett neue Generation, an der das äußere Erscheinungsbild nur geringfügig verändert wurde.
