The G-Class is one of the world's favorite off-road vehicle. Over the last 35 years, it has amazed drivers on the track with performance and comfort. Because of this, it has made its way away from the dirt trail and now is one of the world's favorite SUVs for road use as well. The G-Class is a unique vehicle because it has avoided dramatic changes in body style even after being in production for almost half of a century. The 2016 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, available in Scottsdale AZ, is no exception. It has a classic body style with a few modern twists that keep it on top of the industry.
Each G-Class is handmade and inspected to guarantee it will live up to the expectations of even the most advanced drivers. From the hand-welded, galvanized steel body to the half-mile of hand-stitched upholstery, you can be sure that the G-Class was made with attention to detail that no other premium SUV manufacturer can offer. This high level of care is what gives drivers the satisfaction of dozens of interior design options, permanent all-wheel drive, and over 500 horsepower.
For 2016, the G-Class features some new aesthetics that distinguish the G-Class of today against its ancestors. The front and rear bumpers have a refreshed design to complement the new wheel arches and 19-inch wheels. On the inside, the instrument cluster has been completely replaced with a new driver-friendly focus. The powertrain has also undergone some innovations with the introduction of a new model trim.
G550 | G63 | G64 |
4.0L V8 | 5.5L V8 | 6.0L V12 |
416 Horsepower | 536 Horsepower | 603 Horsepower |
All-Wheel-Drive | 5.3-second zero to 60 | 4.9-second zero to 60 |
7-Speed Transmission | 130 MPH Top Speed | 143 MPH Top Speed |
Prior to 2016, the G-Class has only been offered in two trim variants, the G550, and the G63 AMG. The introduction of the 65 allows drivers to customize the SUV to meet individual needs. The G65 features a new V12 engine that increases the maximum potential of the G-Class to more than 600 horsepower, pushing the 6,250 pound monster from zero to 60 miles per hour in 4.9 seconds. To visually differentiate the G65 from the G550 and the G63 AMG, it also has a unique grille and chrome accents that highlight the bold design of the G-Class.
