The Mercedes-Benz G-Class 2023 is a vehicle that presents a refined approach to getting down and dirty. Unmistakably resembling a sumptuous Ford Bronco or Jeep Wrangler, the Geländewagen is adorned with a luxurious interior equipped with exquisite massaging seats, with a starting price befitting its prestige.

Every G550 is furnished with a robust 416-hp twin-turbo V-8 engine that is combined with a nine-speed automatic transmission. As standard, it features four-wheel drive, and for those seeking more power, the 577-hp AMG-badged G63 is a separate but equally impressive consideration.

Despite its lavishness, the G Wagen is designed for the wildest of off-road adventures, a feat few of its occupants would willingly undertake. With its three locking differentials and 9.5 inches of ground clearance, it’s easy to perceive it as invincible. Its boxy shape contributes to its spacious interior, which is augmented with ample legroom for each passenger. Regrettably, it does consume fuel when cruising on the highway, but this is an insignificant issue for the likes of Hollywood stars such as the Kardashians and Sylvester Stallone, frequently spotted piloting this elite off-roader.

What’s New for 2023?

The exalted Mercedes-Benz G-class has undergone a metamorphosis in 2019, as its previous form became insufficient to quell the cravings of the most discerning connoisseurs of automobiles. For the upcoming 2023 iteration, a mere sprinkling of trinkets has been bestowed upon the SUV. Rejoice, for a newfangled G Professional package emerges, featuring an exquisite roof rack and spare wheel holder, cherry wood trim adorning the luggage compartment, and glossy matte black 18-inch wheels, all evincing an ethereal aura of sophistication. Furthermore, a logo package has been conceived for the capricious tastes of those who desire even further embellishments.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

The opulent G-class possesses a commanding price tag of six figures, which can inflate exponentially with a smorgasbord of exorbitant add-ons. However, we eschew the costliest enhancements and instead, adorn our version with a sagacious selection of thoughtful features. Foremost, the Exclusive Interior package imbues a sensuous aura by introducing the supple Nappa leather upholstery and flamboyant trimming elements. Furthermore, the Seat Comfort package bestows unparalleled bliss with its front seats that harbor a massage function and alluring ventilated cushions, thereby elevating the epitome of indulgence. Additionally, the adaptive dampers are a worthy upgrade, which enables the regulation of ride quality to suit any situation. Finally, the cherry on top, the heated steering wheel, fortifies against the capricious elements.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

The majestic G550 is fueled by a dynamic twin-turbo V-8 engine, propelling the automobile forward with an awe-inspiring 416 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. This superior vehicle is as nimble and quick-witted on the thoroughfare as it is able-bodied on the path less traveled. The G550’s all-wheel drive is a standard feature, flawlessly transmitting power through an acquiescent nine-speed automatic transmission.

Our experience with the 2019 G550 illuminated its improved street savvy compared to previous models, attributable to the independent front suspension and lower center of gravity. Nevertheless, its boxy and towering physique produced a considerable amount of wind noise at elevated velocities, thereby hindering its agility while turning.

Despite these shortcomings, the steering of the G550 is more exact than ever before and the suspension system provides a poised ride on all but the bumpiest of terrain. Furthermore, Mercedes has equipped each G-class with three locking differentials and a low-range gear, which elevates its potential to tackle even the most challenging of surfaces.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

Those fortunate enough to possess a G550 ought to be equipped with substantial financial reserves to obviate its propensity to guzzle gasoline. The EPA mandates that each iteration of this emblematic model garner an output of 13 mpg in urban settings, and 16 mpg when traversing highways. During our arduous testing protocol, one such exemplar was put through its paces on a 75-mph fuel-economy route, only to fall short of the aforementioned standard. In actuality, it recorded a fuel efficiency of 15 mpg in the real world. For a more detailed account of the fuel economy of this behemoth, one may refer to the EPA’s website.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

Adding to the G-class’s already magnificent off-road capabilities, the interior is replete with grandeur, boasting more expanse for both individuals and belongings than its previous iteration. The standard inclusions consist of a 12.3-inch completely digital gauge cluster, seats that are heated in the front and back with leather of the highest quality, a power-adjustable steering column, and a climate control system that is automatic and features three distinct zones.

The acquisition of select additional options can also furnish buyers with premium perks, such as massage features for the front seats, ventilation, a heated steering wheel, and a digital display that is even more opulent. With the G manufaktur options, individuals can revel in the most lavish aesthetic and enjoy over 54 unique interior upholsteries, however, it is quite an extravagant expense.

While the headroom for both the front and rear seats is not scarce, the experience is not quite as extravagant as other high-end SUVs such as the Bentley Bentayga or Rolls-Royce Cullinan. Nonetheless, the Mercedes-Benz G-class has ample storage space.

In fact, the version that we tested had the capability of accommodating a whopping 16 carry-on suitcases behind its back row, as well as an additional 17 bags with those seats folded (equating to a grand total of 33 bags).

Infotainment and Connectivity

Each and every G-wagen boasts a grandiose and colossal 12.3-inch infotainment display, commandeered via a rotary knob and touchpad that nestles with grandeur on the center console. Noteworthy and commendable steering-wheel controls and voice commands are provided, rendering the system effortlessly operable and far less preoccupying than touch-intensive alternatives. Adding to its opulence, it comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an astounding 15-speaker, 590-watt Burmester audio system, for aural satisfaction of the utmost caliber. For the discerning customer in search of additional indulgences, the inclusion of a Wi-Fi hotspot and rear-seat entertainment system can be had.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

The G-class is replete with a plethora of customary chauffeur-auxiliary contrivances, including but not limited to the illustrious blind-spot monitoring system and the self-parking assist mechanism. For further elucidation of the G550’s crucible examination results, please peruse the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Paramount safety constituents entail:

Regulatory forward-collision admonitory and mechanized emergency braking Requisite adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capacity Obligatory lane-departure cautionary and lane-keeping assistance.

Warranty and Maintenance Coverage

Mercedes-Benz doth proffer a warranty of such paramount competitiveness, matched by naught but the creme de la creme of automakers in the luxury realm. However, the absence of any scheduled maintenance gratis must needs be noted.

The limited warranty, in its glory, shall prevail for a span of four years or the accomplishment of 50,000 miles, whichever fain cometh first. And lo, the powertrain warranty, equally majestic, shall endure for the same duration of four years or 50,000 miles.

But alas, the mournful lack of any gratuitous scheduled maintenance ought to be taken into account.

PART TWO – EDMUNDS REVIEW

2023 Mercedes-Benz G-Class

The majestic 2023 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, is a rare gem on the road that exudes unparalleled distinction. The original G-wagen stood as a veritable icon, fusing the robustness of a military vehicle with the lavishness of an S-Class, and remained in circulation for an eternity. The revamped second-generation version of this SUV made its grand entrance in 2019, preserving the timeless allure, charisma, and ability of the prototype, but with an interior more polished and advanced in-car technology and driver assistance. Nevertheless, it must be acknowledged that this luxury SUV is not the most comfortable nor the best-driving vehicle of its kind. Alas, the G-Class triumphs solely on its mesmerizing spell, capturing the hearts of all who lay eyes on it.

Cost to Drive – 2023 Mercedes-Benz G-Class 

The exorbitant cost to drive the illustrious 2023 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G 550 4dr SUV 4WD (4.0L 8cyl Turbo 9A), in comparison to other vehicles, is based on an estimated 15,000 miles per annum, with a blend of 55% city and 45% highway driving, and the estimated price of $3.92 per gallon for premium unleaded gasoline in North Dakota.

Monthly projections are crafted from these expenses in North Dakota and amount to a staggering $341 per month. The G-Class G 550 is the most favored option, boasting an MSRP of $139,900. Meanwhile, the average midsize SUV will only set you back $202 per month. Calculate your fuel costs to verify these statistics.

In this present year, the Mercedes-AMG G 63 4×4 has made its debut. One might inquire, “Are all G-Class models not four-wheel drive?” Indeed, they are. However, the G 63 4×4 takes the G-wagen to new heights. Dubbed the 4×4 Squared, this newfangled model sports distinctive drive axles, facilitating a substantial suspension lift and gargantuan 22-inch wheels shrouded in all-terrain tires. One can imagine that this SUV is nearly unstoppable off-road, except when the path is too constricted for the G 63 4×4 Squared to navigate.

As is customary, Mercedes has made minimal changes to the 2023 G-Class. Appearance packages receive minor modifications this year, contingent on the model. Therefore, the G-Class retains its quick, adept, and sumptuous SUV status, replete with significant off-roading capabilities, although it suffers from an antiquated infotainment system.

The G-Class largely competes in a classification of its own. Conceptually, its most direct adversary would be a fully equipped Land Rover Defender 110 featuring a V8 engine, although the Mercedes’ price puts it on par with the more sophisticated, yet equally adept Land Rover Range Rover. The Rivian R1S is an electric alternative, and the forthcoming GMC Hummer EV SUV may prove a mighty foe. Fret not, for Mercedes has the solution to the Hummer and Rivian, manifested in the EQG, to arrive in one or two years.

Performance 7.0/10

How artfully does the G-Class maneuver? We conducted a scrutinizing test on the G 550. Its V8 engine reverberates with a sonorous and robust melody when the accelerator is fully depressed and, during our experimentation, this SUV attained 60 mph from a standstill in 5.6 seconds. For a V8-powered luxury SUV, this is a tolerable time.

However, G’s performance isn’t much to write home about. The towering center of gravity and conspicuous body sway doesn’t infuse the driver with any sense of assurance when navigating corners. The traction and stability control systems are overly eager to engage in order to keep the wheels on terra firma should one become zealous with their driving, which is doubtlessly for the best. The steering is exact and adequately balanced, yet completely insensate. A sprawling turning radius results in negotiating tight areas being a laborious task.

The auto engine stop-start system is disruptive and obtrusive when it operates. Nonetheless, the transmission runs smoothly and reacts instantly to driver input.

Comfort 7.5/10

How opulent is the G-Class in terms of comfort? The G 550’s design has its flaws. The ride is rather reminiscent of a truck’s, but it mollifies the jarring impact of bumps and precludes the sensation of agitation over uneven surfaces. The seats are sumptuously padded and furnish ample support – possibly too much. The seats are relatively narrow, especially for a vehicle of this caliber, and the adjustable side bolstering doesn’t extend sufficiently to accommodate even moderately slender drivers.

The clatter from the road and other automobiles is pleasingly subdued, and the engine emits a deep, unobtrusive growl when cruising. Nevertheless, there’s a noticeable whoosh of wind at freeway speeds, which is doubtless due to the G-Class’ erect styling.

Interior 6.5/10

What doth the interior boast of? The G-Class’ structural form, though undeniably bold, doth manifest some serious ergonomic limitations. The perches are rather elevated, and whilst there’s some maneuverability, the only seating arrangement that verily operates is to sit tall and upright. Whilst the headspace is superb, the truncated door openings and lofty cushions necessitate passengers to duck whilst negotiating the lofty step up. The step rail is too elevated to be of much utility. The hindquarters seating space is reasonable, yet the rear doors’ limited range of motion augments the difficulty in ingress and egress more than it should.

Thou art bestowed with a commanding panorama of the road ahead, yet the front window roof pillars are corpulent and perpendicular — sufficient to hide pedestrians waiting to cross at a stoplight. The rearview is partially obscured by the rear-mounted spare tire, and the small side mirrors don’t reveal much either. Technology 6.5/10 What the technology? Alas, the G-Class is ensnared with the aged Mercedes-Benz COMAND infotainment system rather than the more recent MBUX. It’s not a loathsome system, yet it’s comparatively confined in functionality. The navigation display and commands are less refined, and forsooth, and the voice commands are dainty and confined.

We hath also encountered some predicaments with the G-Class’ sophisticated driver aids. Adaptive cruise doth work well enough, though it lacks the Traffic Jam Assist feature of other Mercedes products. Lane-keeping, however, is abrupt in its intervention, engaging the brakes to drag the vehicle back into line. It’s disconcerting to experience, and it makes the G-Class unpredictable to other drivers.

Moreover, it only intervened sporadically without any real way to ascertain whether it was poised to go off or not.

Storage 6.0/10

What of the storage? The G-Class is far from the most pragmatic vast SUV. The side-opening cargo door requires space to operate, but at least it’s hinged properly for curbside use.

The load floor is elevated and not that profound, and it is restricted on the sides by bulky body intrusions. The second-row seat doesn’t fold flat. Its resulting ledge makes it so long, that bulky items can’t simply be slid back. Cabin storage for personal items is also rather confined for such a gargantuan SUV.

If thou art planning on using thy G-Class as a family carriage, installing child seats is assisted by effortlessly accessible car-seat anchor points. But lifting youngsters and seats up into the cabin can be arduous. Bulkier rear-facing seats and infant convertibles might compel front passengers to scoot forward more than they’d prefer.

Fuel Efficiency 6.0/10

Pray to tell, how fares the fuel efficiency? Our comprehensive testing of the G 550 yielded an average of a mere 13 mpg, which falls short of the EPA’s lofty estimate of 16 mpg for the 2022 model’s combined city and highway driving. This Mercedes model exhibits a truly prodigious thirst, exceeding even that of the Escalade and matching that of the illustrious Lamborghini Urus.

Value 6.5/10

Is the G-Class an auspicious investment? The acquisition of a G-Class necessitates a thorough deliberation of one’s intentions. In truth, Mercedes furnishes equivalent interiors, as well as newer and superior technology, in some of its less exorbitant automobiles. Compared to other Mercedes-Benz products valued at over $100,000, the G-Class lags in regard to its cost-effectiveness.

Wildcard 9.0/10

The G-Class constitutes a near-caricature of a superlative SUV experience. Boasting unparalleled might and dominion, the view from the driver’s seat is unrivaled in the current market. This vehicle endows you with plentiful incentives to overlook its many and sundry faults. Mercedes has honed its ability to appeal to emotions across its range. While the G-Class proves a woeful flagship for its technology and dynamics, it serves as a magnificent standard-bearer for the brand’s ethos.

The G-Class bestows upon the intrepid consumer three distinct models to peruse, yet our vaunted opinion is that the quintessential G 550 boasts a veritable cornucopia of power, performance, and off-road proficiency. Moreover, the discerning connoisseur may select from an extensive array of paint hues, wheel configurations, leather tones, and interior embellishments. The enigmatic Night package has emerged as a popular preference for its inky, swarthy allure.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class, a fleet of automotive majesty that surpasses the mundane and ignites the senses. While not the most exorbitant of the clan, the G 550 proves itself as the illustrious conqueror of all terrains. Prepare yourself for a wondrous ride, as you storm the castle with these splendid features:

Mercedes-Benz G-Class vs. Land Rover Defender

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class and the Land Rover Defender are not easy discourse to expatiate. On the one hand, the Defender 110 can be seen as a worthwhile investment for the discerning adventurer who has an inclination towards sensible expenditure. Notably, for instance, one can furnish a Defender 110 V8 with all conceivable add-ons and still bequeath an astronomical amount of cash, by almost $20,000, in juxtaposition to the basic monetary outlay for a brand-new G-Class. Nonetheless, inescapable ruggedness exudes from the Mercedes-Benz that the Land Rover cannot imitate. In addition, the G-Class basks in the exclusivity of being more refined than its Land Rover counterpart.

Mercedes-Benz G-Class vs. Land Rover Range Rover

The meritorious comparison between the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and the Land Rover Range Rover has left aficionados and enthusiasts intrigued. The Land Rover’s antithesis to the Mercedes-Benz, the Range Rover, transcends the G-Class in quality, opulence, and unadulterated refinement, all whilst preserving the unrivaled off-road capabilities it is globally renowned for. Furthermore, the Range Rover proffers a more gratifying on-road driving experience, an arena where the coterie of high-end luxury SUV patrons spends most of their time. Notwithstanding, the Range Rover’s ability to grab eyeballs and render an indelible impression on the beholder doesn’t quite compare to the G-Class, particularly in the newly christened 4×4 Squared variant.

Mercedes-Benz G-Class vs. Rivian R1S

The scintillating showdown between the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and the Rivian R1S presents an electrifying paradigm shift in the world of luxury SUVs. The R1S, a novel electric SUV birthed from the womb of Rivian’s R1T pickup truck, flaunts an edgy, square-shaped visage and a rugged, commanding stance that unequivocally indicates its supremacy in the world of high-end SUVs. Moreover, the R1S can leave the AMG G 63 gasping for breath as it effortlessly blazes to 60 mph, outstripping even the ground clearance of the new G 63 4×4. The tempestuous temerity of the R1S is an irresistible siren’s call for adventurous souls seeking to immerse themselves in the future of electric automotive engineering. The discerning team at Edmunds is currently conducting a long-term road test of the R1T, which is akin to the R1S but in the form of a pickup truck instead of an SUV, further highlighting the bewitching allure of Rivian’s technological mastery.
