Mercedes-Benz G-Class News

Those looking for real off-road and towing capabilities need only look at what came to Detroit to see the future of SUVs.

Mercedes has to be extremely careful when redesigning such an important nameplate.

It should be a much better on-road driver, and still plenty capable off road.

An early frontrunner for craziest Detroit Auto Show display.

"We swear, the new G is still a serious off-roader."

The G-Wagen will debut in Detroit next month, with the G500 boasting a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 up front.

The G63 is still available.

Mercedes-Benz said Friday it will discontinue production of its one-of-a-kind G500 4x4² off-road luxury beast. It will accept orders through the end of October. Prices for the high-riding luxury SUV start around $275,000, based on current exchange rates. Developed for extreme off-road use and unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show

That's a lot of expensive, hand-built models.

The most opulent off-roader around.

2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class spied by the photographers at Spied Bilde.

The G-Wagen should lose some weight and improve its fuel economy.

Pairing the insane looks and suspension modifications of the G63 AMG 6x6 with a normal two-axle G550 may have birthed the best luxury off-roader money can buy.

It's a work truck, not a blinged-out plushmobile.

The new trim represents a range of exclusive personalization options from the factory.

For 2016, the Mercedes-Benz G550 gets a new engine – the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 from the AMG GT sports car. If that sounds like a recipe for awesomeness, that's because it is. We test the updated G550 on and off road in Germany.

For the Frankfurt Motor Show, Brabus takes the Mercedes-Benz G500 4X4 up to 493 horsepower and 523 pound-feet of torque. Those huge numbers come with bold styling to match.

In which we talk bling, schnitzel, Karl Marx, and the German countryside from behind the wheel of Mercedes-Benz's absolutely ridiculous G65 AMG.

Mercedes confirms the G500 4x4² for production, complete with a foot and a half of ground clearance and a price tag second only to the G65 AMG - and the previous G63 6x6.

Mercedes has announced a series of updates for the G-Class, including a new G500 with an AMG-derived 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and more power across the board.
