Why it stands out

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class stands out because it represents the end of the original design’s long run. Mercedes-Benz gave the G-Class major refreshes in 1992 and 2001, but the original shape essentially kept going until 2018, complete with its flat-plane, military surplus windows. That old-school, boxy character is a big part of the appeal: the G-Class began life as a military vehicle, yet it evolved into a luxury off-roader with a reputation for being both iconic and highly capable.

For buyers, the 2018 model is distinctive because it sits at the intersection of ruggedness and excess. The buying guide describes the G-Class as a hyper-expensive machine, and notes that buyers were willing to pay even more for the lavish AMG versions. It also emphasizes that the truck can tackle almost any trail, even if most owners are more interested in its style than in getting it dirty. At the same time, ownership is not for the faint of heart: the guide says G-Wagens are generally very reliable, but maintenance and repair costs are just as high as the cost of entry, and fuel economy is a weakness.
