The G-Class has been manufactured since 1979, and in December 2020, this off-road icon hit the milestone of 400,000 models produced. To mark this anniversary, a red Mercedes-Benz G400d rolled off the production line in Graz. The car is headed to a long-term customer from Western Germany who has been a fan of this angular classic since 1979 and now has around 20 models.
The G-Class plays a key role in the strategic realignment at Mercedes-Benz. This realignment focuses on a convincing luxury experience that's electric, software-driven and sustainable. As far as this latter point goes, Mercedes Benz is bringing its suppliers on-board for its journey towards being carbon neutral.
Since 1 September 2020, the standard equipment for the iconic off-road vehicle has become even more extensive. At the same time, there are also more personalisation options available through the 'G manufaktur' programme, with around 60% of all G-Class buyers specifying some options. New exterior colours and equipment packages as well as the widescreen cockpit round off the model's offering.
Since spring 2020, customer and fans have had the chance to explore the on-road and off-road ability of the G-Class at the new G-Class Experience Centre near Graz. On the site formerly used by Fliegerhorst Nittner, they get the opportunity to fully test out the enormous potential of the G-Glass, hone their driving skills on terrain that is at times extreme, and experience first-hand what the 'Schockl proved' quality stamp means.
