One of the most popular large luxury SUVs out there is the 2021 Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen. This quirky SUV is known for its boxy look and tough performance on any road surface. It looks, however, like there are a couple of things holding it back from being the perfect choice to buy. The Car Connection saw …
The Land Rover Defender is the great-granddad of overlanding. Over the last couple of decades, builders have taken the Defender from rough-neck mud dog to a tweed jacketed, New England vacation-house truck. We have seen an excess of six-figure, leather-clad, halogen headlight, LS-swapped off-road monsters who only ever touch dirt for a posed picture in …
Boxy, rugged, and legendary. Those are the words often used to describe the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. It is an off-roader whose familiar face is unmistakable for anything else. That has been the case now for generations. However, in the years since its introduction, the vehicle has moved decidedly upscale. But Mercedes-Benz does not want new owners …
As Mercedes-Benz, performance is just as important as design. Mercedes continues to blend both traditional styles and modern concepts in its newest vehicles. And to push the envelope even further, this German carmaker has partnered with an unexpected artist for its iconic G-Class SUV. Mercedes presents Project Geländewagen Mercedes originally introduced Project Geländewagen in July and is the company’s first initiative to …
With the new release of the new Ford Bronco and the allure of its topless capability, other designated off-road vehicles might want to start taking notes. Certain 4×4 off-road SUVs like the Toyota 4Runner or the Land Rover Defender probably won’t ever see a convertible model. But the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon has already done it with …
The all-new 2021 Ford Bronco release is looming closer and closer. As of this writing, we don’t have much longer to wait until its national television debut. Everyone is excited about another sturdy and capable off-roader. Once Ford’s new off-pavement addition to the SUV segment will compete with lifestyle vehicles like the Toyota 4Runner the …
The G-Wagen, or G-Wagon as we know it here in the US, is easily one of the coolest and most capable SUVs. It is a pop culture icon seen in music videos and song lyrics by artists such as American rapper Post Malone. The 400 plus horsepower twin-turbo V8 doesn’t hurt its reputation, either. Now, …
One of American rapper Post Malone’s most well-known songs repeats the lyric: “G-Wagon, G-Wagon, G-Wagon…” But does he own one? According to one source, this Mercedes truck does not live in his garage. But he does own some pretty interesting cars. Let’s take a look at Post Malone’s car collection. But first, let’s put one …
Sometimes, older vehicles can still keep up with their newer counterparts. Even off-roaders: a used 4Runner is just as capable as a new one, for example. However, while used off-road SUVs can be bargains, their technology is also dated. This even applies to the Mercedes G-Wagon: the luxury off-roader has really only seen two significant …
Normally, a Mercedes G-Wagon (aka G-Class) isn’t exactly a bargain. The SUV retains its value surprisingly well for a luxury off-roader, and even old models can sometimes sell for six figures. Usually, the only way to get a G-Wagen on the cheap is to get one from the military. However, it is still possible to …
Some of the most extreme versions of the Mercedes G-Wagon, like the G 63 AMG 6×6 and the G550 4×4 Squared, can seem more like Transformers than actual usable vehicles. When even a base G-Wagen offers more capability than many will tap into, it can turn these luxury SUVs into symbolic toys. But the G-Class …
The Mercedes G-Class is a luxury SUV that prioritizes both amenities and performance. But aside from all that how does the G-Wagen rank in terms of safety?
People often think off-roading requires specialty vehicles. So, they put up a Jeep Wrangler’s or Land Rover Defender’s drawbacks to be able to crawl over rocks. Or they shell out large sums for Mercedes G-Wagons or Rolls-Royce Cullinans. But then they worry about damaging their expensive SUVs. And while inexpensive off-roaders like the Suzuki Jimny …
The original Land Rover Defender may be an incredible off-roading SUV, but it also has its flaws. They’re slow, spartan, and not exactly safe. It was safety regulations, in fact, that stopped US sales back in 1997. And the small US-legal production date (’93-’97) makes the Defender rather expensive, especially compared to ones in Europe. …
Although some mod it too far, what keeps the more extreme G-Wagens from being too groan-worthy is Mercedes’ dedication to keeping the SUV a luxury off-road tank. True, a Suzuki Jimny offers bare-bones buffoonery, but there’s something about a 6-wheeled pickup that supersedes logic. And even without extra wheels, the G-Class, like the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, …
‘Value for money’ isn’t usually applied to the Mercedes G-Wagen. Although it depreciates less than most, the luxury SUV can come across as a toy. But the G-Wagon’s military roots make it a legitimate off-roader. It’s also a popular platform for tuners like Brabus and Lumma Design. But it’s also been modified by Mercedes itself, …
