How much does the 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class cost?

Prices have softened 8.08% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 418 listings available, which gives you a meaningful pool to compare prices and equipment.

Is the 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class a good car?

Yes — the 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Look and feel at 10/10.

Drivers consistently praise its rugged design, solid build quality, modern features, head-turning looks, and high resale value. The overview also frames it as a unique luxury SUV with premium interior materials and a fun driving character.

The trade-offs are poor visibility and poor value for money, and advanced safety features are not standard. That makes it especially appealing if you want a distinctive luxury SUV with serious presence, but less compelling if you prioritize easy everyday visibility or maximum value.

The market still shows 36.1% good or great deals, so you can shop selectively without feeling rushed.

Is the 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Drivers describe it as having solid build quality, and the review summary also points to rugged design and modern features that support confidence in day-to-day use. The expert notes emphasize that it feels like it is carved from a single block of steel, which reinforces the sense of durability and toughness.

The ownership picture is still expensive, though, because this is a highly specialized luxury SUV with costly hardware and upkeep. For used buyers, that means the main long-term risk is not basic dependability so much as expensive repairs and maintenance if prior care was inconsistent.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 76.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper history review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on body condition, panel fit, and signs of hard use, since this model’s appeal depends heavily on how well it has been maintained. Pay close attention to visibility-related wear points and whether the truck’s luxury features work as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin is loaded with ultra-soft leather, wood, aluminum, LED lighting, and wide digital displays, but the base setup still leaves out some advanced convenience and driver-assistance features.
• Powertrain: A 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with 416 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque works with a 9-speed automatic, a 2-speed transfer case, permanent 4WD, and three locking differentials.
• Safety package: The stability control and active lane-keeping systems are standard, but the truck does not offer the latest semi-automated cruise control, active steering on marked highways, or Evasive Steering Assist.
• Infotainment: The Comand system uses a customizable instrument panel, touchpads, WiFi, and live traffic, but some functions are buried in submenus and there is no head-up display.
• Fuel efficiency: No MPG figure is stated in the available data.

Which 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class trim should I buy?

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is offered in 1 trim level: G550.

Here's the short version:

The G550 is the trim to focus on if you want the core G-Class experience: the hand-built cabin, the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, permanent 4WD, and three locking differentials. It delivers the model’s signature mix of luxury and off-road hardware without needing to step into a higher-performance variant. It is the best fit if you want the standard G-Class character rather than chasing extra power or a more specialized setup.

The safety package includes standard stability control and active lane-keeping, but the latest semi-automated cruise control and Evasive Steering Assist are not offered.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 36.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 418 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.08% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 76.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $104,650, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class's resale value?

The current average of $104,650 sits slightly below last year's $113,855.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled enough to help you buy more selectively today. If you plan to sell later, the softer current pricing can work in your favor if you buy well and keep the vehicle in strong condition. The model’s distinctive image and strong owner satisfaction should help support demand over time.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class safe?

The G-Class has not and never will be tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety because it is a boutique, low-volume luxury vehicle.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

The safety setup includes standard stability control and active lane-keeping, but the latest semi-automated cruise control is not offered, and Evasive Steering Assist is also absent. The expert notes also flag a higher tendency to roll over than other SUVs, which is an important caution if you are shopping for family use or for a newer driver.

Should I buy a 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 36.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 76.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.08% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 brings a full redesign with a more modern feel while keeping the G-Class’s iconic character.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $121,199, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $104,650 average.
• It keeps the redesigned G-Class formula while preserving the old-school look and feel.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2019 is the smarter buy because it combines the redesign, strong owner satisfaction, and a lower average price. If you are willing to pay more for the next model year’s slightly updated version of the same formula, the 2020 is the secondary path.
