Known as the Geländewagen in Germany which means "cross-country vehicle".

Production of the G Wagon began in the early 1970’s and it was produced only for military applications. There was a need for a durable, rugged and reliable off-road jeep by the armies of the world, and Mercedes Benz satisfied this need. Close to 40 years later this G wagon is still used by the militaries of the world.

A few years back Canadian soldiers and a journalist in Afghanistan hit a road side bomb, and they all survived driving in an armour plated G Wagon.

After several years the first non-military G Wagons were offered to the public. This is not some watered down civilian version of the vehicle; the only difference is the civilian edition did not have armour plating. Oddly enough you can still get versions of the G Wagon with vertical bench seating, and a space in the floor intended for an object the size of an M60 machine gun. The G would only get a bodystyle change in 1990, and keep this style until 1997.

The Mercedes G Wagon is very luxurious and refined on the inside. There are some who do not appreciate the function over form design, but those are the kind of people who don’t understand how rugged this vehicle is. This is vehicle also trusted by both adventurers and city dwellers along with the military.

I know a gentleman who claims he “Is unable to get stuck driving through rivers” in his G Wagon but at the same time this is also his daily driver. This is a vehicle designed for people who want a classy looking SUV that can perform in extreme conditions but is also practical and reliable enough for the city. You can always feel safe in this vehicle while you go adventuring or in traffic.

This vehicle allows you the option of both gasoline and diesel engines. Gas models are available in I6, V8 and much later on in production there is a V12. The diesel models offer excellent gas mileage and astounding torque.
