G Class (1980 to Present)

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class (G-Wagen / Geländewagen) is one of the most iconic and longest-running luxury off-road vehicles ever built, with continuous production dating back to 1979. Originally developed as a military-grade 4x4, the G-Class was engineered around a ladder-frame chassis, solid axles, permanent four-wheel drive, and three locking differentials, giving it unmatched durability and genuine off-road capability. Over time it evolved from the utilitarian W460/W461 into the luxury-focused W463, while retaining its unmistakable boxy design and mechanical integrity, and expanding into high-performance AMG variants such as the G55, G63, and G65. In the Australian market, the G-Class is prized both as a rugged off-roader and a premium status SUV, with early models gaining classic appeal and modern examples maintaining exceptionally strong resale values, cementing the G-Wagon’s reputation as one of the most desirable and recognisable 4x4s in the world.
