Three things we bet you didn’t know about the G-Class? One, it was developed on a suggestion by the Shah of Iran, who was a shareholder in Mercedes-Benz at the time. Two, it was meant to be a military vehicle, and not a civilian one, let alone something luxurious. Three, it’s manufactured on contract for Mercedes-Benz by Magna Steyr of Austria, and has been for all its life so far. Doesn’t quite sound like a Mercedes-Benz, does it? The G-Class is the most hardcore off-roading Mercedes-Benz SUV that you can buy today, and it comes with all the luxury trimmings you’d expect in their flagship offerings. This 2021 Mercedes-Benz G550 is a case in point. It’s a 2021 model with just 2,000 miles on the clock, making it basically brand-new and current generation, so if you’re looking to skip the queues and waiting lists mandated by the current supply chain issues in the automotive industry, quick, buy it before it’s gone!
The styling of the G-Class hasn’t really changed since introduction in 1979, and yet certain aspects have been freshened to keep up with the times. What’s even more interesting is that the second-generation W463A to which this 2021 Mercedes-Benz G550 belongs to, only carries over three parts from the first, making it a comprehensive ground-up redesign. Showcasing those brutish looks in a G Manufaktur China Blue paint job, the contrasting Obsidian Black roof gives it a distinctive appearance, as do the 19-inch twin five spoke wheels, wearing moderately meaty rubber that inspires more off-road confidence than the low profile, rubber-band tires you’d find on other luxury SUVs. A black front brush guard has been added too. The interior is like stepping into another dimension after figuring the utilitarian and tough exterior, and this example features a Platinum White and Black color theme, with the DD5 G Manufaktur Interior Package Plus having been specified at an extra cost of $13,050. There’s also metal weave trim, digital instrument cluster, full infotainment suite with Burmester speaker system, powered, heated, and ventilated driver and front passenger seats, dual-zone climate control, heated steering wheel and the usual luxury trimmings you would find in, say, an S-Class.
This 2021 Mercedes-Benz G550 isn’t the G63 AMG but don’t let that put you off, as you still get a 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 that puts out a very decent 416hp and 450lb-ft to all four wheels via a 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission. There are three prominent switches in the center console for locking the diffs, and the requisite off-road modes and functions are present too. Show it a flattened foot on tarmac and it will take less than six seconds to reach sixty from rest, and top out at an electronically limited 130mph. Active damping suspension keeps everyone comfortable, and the sports exhaust allows that V8 to sing better.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class stands in stark contrast to the rest of this iconic German luxury car maker’s offerings. Its boxy, prominent, and can venture off-road with gusto. Introduced in 1979 as a military machine on the request of the Shah of Iran, civilian variants emerged in 1979. Since then, the G-Class has gained the typical Mercedes-Benz luxury features and technological highlights, but maintains its immense off-road capabilities. This 2019 Mercedes-Benz G550 is one fine example and it’s up for sale in Salt Lake City, Utah. With 94,604 miles on it, you can tell that it’s meant to be driven. Plus, given its off-road abilities, this is the perfect family vehicle for the outdoors-loving crowd.
The 2014 Mercedes-Benz G550 stands as the perfect embodiment of luxury meeting true off-road capability. Few vehicles can balance refinement and ruggedness so seamlessly, yet Mercedes-Benz has perfected this formula with the G-Class. This particular example, finished in Capri Blue Metallic and located in Los Angeles, maintains its authentic and purposeful character—free from excessive modifications or aftermarket flash. Beneath its timeless boxy exterior lies serious off-road engineering, ready to perform when called upon. Inside, it offers the full suite of Mercedes-Benz luxury and technology, from premium leather upholstery to advanced comfort features. With over 104,500 miles, this G550 remains a testament to the durability and enduring appeal that have made the G-Class an icon for decades.
Little did Mercedes-Benz envision that their tough and capable G-Class would become one of their most luxurious vehicles as time passed by. When the automaker created the G-Class on a request made by the Shah of Iran in the late 1970s, it was envisioned as a military vehicle with a civilian variant available as well. As time passed by, the G-Class gained a formidable reputation for its off-road prowess, with many pro off-roaders swearing by it. However, by 1990, Mercedes-Benz saw a segment that would value a decent amount of off-road ability paired with ample luxury and comfort features. Hence, the W463 generation of 1990, which was made until 2018 before being updated to the W463 Second Generation. Today, we’ve got a 2018 Mercedes-Benz G550 Limited Edition for sale in Newton Square, Pennsylvania with a mere 53,370 miles to its name. So if you’re seeking the ultimate luxury family hauler that can easily go off-road, here’s the ideal candidate to grace your garage and enrich your life.
Mercedes-Benz has a fine array of grand tourers, but if you want a true-blue sports car with a star on its nose, the Mercedes-AMG GT is as fine as they come. Introduced in 2014, the AMG GT is now in its second generation of production. It’s a fearsome two-door fastback coupe with a twin-turbo V8 under its hood. Hence, it makes for a fine car to drive regularly, and we have a 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 55 for sale right now. This 3,000-mile machine comes with a 469 horsepower 4.0-liter V8, an AMG Speedshift MCT 9-speed automatic gearbox, all-wheel drive and a host of tech features. It’s currenrly available in Dallas.
If you want a German classic car with some modern conveniences, a V8 under the hood and a fine legacy, you can’t go amiss by choosing a Mercedes-Benz SL from the R107 era. Over 300,000 were made between 1971 and 1989, of which two thirds came to North America. The R107 redefined the term boulevard cruiser, with its performance, luxury interior and driving manners over long distances. If that sounds like your cup of tea, we have this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL for sale right now. It’s from Scottsdale, Arizona, and has covered just over 71,000 miles so far. It’s also got a smooth M177 5.6-liter V8 under the hood.
