The Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon is the company’s most esteemed SUV. The first G-Wagon was developed through a collaboration between Daimler, Steyr, and Puch. It debuted in 1979 and has been in production since then. The G-Wagon was initially designed for the military, but its unmatched dependability and leading-edge all-terrain capabilities also made it a hit with civilians. The G-Wagon is Mercedes’s large, boxy, vintage, off-road vehicle and, depending on trim, the company’s most expensive SUV. But why are G wagons so expensive in comparison to other SUVs? The answer lies in their combination of capabilities, rarity, durability, and, most importantly, their undeniable cool factor. While other SUVs like the Jeep Wrangler or Land Rover Defender may surpass the G-Wagon in terms of towing capacity, interior space, or off-road performance, they lack the rich heritage and unmistakable presence that the G-Wagon possesses. A G-Wagon stands out as the most stylish vehicle on Rodeo Drive.
