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

Prices have softened 8.24% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 419 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, and modern features. The user feedback also points to head-turning looks and strong resale value, which reinforces its appeal if you want something distinctive and desirable. On the downside, the expert review calls out poor visibility and notes that advanced safety features are not standard, while also describing it as poor value for money.

If you want a luxury SUV with real character, premium craftsmanship, and off-road credibility, this model year fits that brief well. It is especially compelling if image and uniqueness matter as much as everyday practicality.

31.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there are some attractive opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class reliable?

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

User feedback highlights its solid build quality and says many owners appreciate its modern features, while also pointing to strong resale value. The expert review adds that the G-Class feels carved from a single block of steel and can handle punishing off-road use, which supports the sense that it is built to last. It also benefits from a premium, hand-built construction approach that reinforces durability.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about basic toughness and more about ownership complexity, since this is a highly specialized luxury SUV with expensive upkeep potential.

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

At 73.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if the truck has been used hard or modified. Focus on body condition, signs of off-road wear, and whether the cabin and exterior show the kind of abuse that can hide behind a premium badge. Because this model is expensive and specialized, you want to be confident that the example you choose has been maintained carefully.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin is loaded with ultra-soft leather, wood, aluminum accents, LED lighting, and wide digital displays, but the review also notes that the G-Class is not especially practical and that some conveniences are missing. The base setup already feels richly appointed, so higher trims are mainly about added luxury and equipment rather than a fundamental change in character.
• Powertrain: The G550 uses a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with 416 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic, a 2-speed transfer case, permanent 4WD, and three locking differentials. It is built for serious traction and strong straight-line performance.
• Safety package: The review says advanced safety features are not standard, and the truck lacks the latest semi-automated cruise control, active steering on marked highways, and Evasive Steering Assist. It also notes that stability control is always on and the active lane-keeping system is aggressive by default.
• Infotainment: The Comand system includes a customizable instrument panel, WiFi, live traffic, and touchpad controls, but some functions are buried in submenus. It does not offer a head-up display.
• Fuel efficiency: Fuel economy figures are not stated in the provided 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 because it captures the core G-Class experience: the hand-built cabin, the twin-turbo V8, permanent 4WD, and the three locking differentials that define the truck’s character. It is the best-value choice by default because it is the only standard trim identified here, and it already delivers the full blend of luxury and capability that makes the model special.

The safety package note is simple: advanced driver-assistance features are not standard, and the truck lacks several modern Mercedes systems.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory to compare options but not so much that bargains are guaranteed.

• Deal availability: 31.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 419 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.24% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 73.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $104,275, 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 $105,792 sits slightly below last year's $115,297.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled from a year ago, which can help you buy more selectively now. For a future seller, the current softness means resale gains may be harder to realize quickly unless your vehicle is especially clean, well-optioned, and well documented. The model’s strong desirability and distinctive image still help support demand, but condition and history will matter a lot.

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 content says the G-Class has aced Euro NCAP tests overseas and is safe on its own, but it also warns that its increased tendency to roll over makes it a less ideal choice for young or inexperienced drivers and families. The expert review reinforces that concern by noting the aggressive stability control and active lane-keeping behavior, along with the truck’s high center of gravity and narrow stance.

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:

• 31.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 73.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.24% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 brings the first full redesign in decades while preserving the G-Class’s rugged character and luxury appeal.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $118,065, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $105,792 average.
• It keeps the redesigned G-Class formula while adding the next model year's refinement and luxury-tech appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2019 is the smarter path because it has softened in price and still delivers the redesigned G-Class experience. If you are willing to pay more for a newer example, the 2020 is the secondary path for buyers who want the same character with a later model year.
