CARS.COM — There are really only a handful of vehicles on the planet that you could truly describe as “iconic”: the Chevrolet Corvette, or the Porsche 911 — maybe the Ford Mustang or the Jeep Wrangler. Well, and this thing.
This is the Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen, or “cross-country vehicle” in German, also called the G-Class. This one is the G550, and it’s been completely redone for 2019. Now, it looks the same on the outside; it’s maybe a little bit bigger in a couple of different dimensions. But underneath, where it counts, it’s received a number of updates and revisions.
Find out what’s under the skin of the new 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class in the video below.
