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

Prices have softened 5.82% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 425 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare.

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

Yes — it earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Look and feel at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise its rugged design, solid build quality, modern features, and head-turning looks. The review summary also points to strong resale value, which reinforces its appeal if you want something that feels special and holds attention well.

On the downside, the expert notes call out poor visibility and poor value for money, and advanced safety features are not standard. In practical terms, this is a vehicle that makes the most sense if you want a distinctive luxury SUV with real character rather than a rational daily-driver purchase.

Good and great deals account for 31.1% of listings, so you can still find some room to shop carefully.

Is the 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. The user review summary also points to solid build quality and a rugged design, both of which support the impression that this is a vehicle you can count on.

The expert notes describe it as a vehicle with a strong, overbuilt feel, and the performance writeup emphasizes that not much harm can come to something that feels carved from a single block of steel. The cost-effectiveness notes also reinforce that it is built around expensive hardware, which usually means you should expect higher ownership costs even if the underlying durability is reassuring.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is not basic dependability so much as expensive upkeep if prior maintenance has been neglected.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 75.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially because this is a high-cost luxury SUV with complex hardware. Focus on condition, maintenance records, and signs of hard use, since the G-Class is the kind of vehicle that can be driven gently or abused hard. A clean history matters here because repair bills can be steep if something has been overlooked.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin is loaded with premium materials, including extensive leather, wood, aluminum, and dramatic lighting, but the expert notes also point out that advanced safety features are not standard.
• 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.
• Safety package: The stability control is very aggressive, and the active lane-keeping system turns on by default and requires a 2-second hold to deactivate. Advanced safety features are not standard.
• Infotainment: The Comand system is crisp and colorful, with WiFi and live traffic, but some functions are buried in submenus and there is no head-up display.
• Fuel efficiency: No fuel-economy figure is stated in the provided data.

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

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is offered in 2 trim levels: G550, AMG G63.

Here's the short version:

• G550: This is the trim to focus on if you want the core G-Class experience with the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, permanent 4WD, three locking differentials, and the full luxury-heavy cabin. It is the best-value choice in the lineup because it delivers the model’s defining character without the AMG price jump.
• AMG G63: This is the performance-oriented choice, with the expert summary noting 577 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque. Choose it if you want the most aggressive version and are willing to pay for it.

Advanced safety features are not standard.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you stay disciplined.

• Deal availability: 31.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 425 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.82% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 75.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $105,414, 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 $105,414 sits slightly below last year's $111,932.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you buy more selectively now. For a future seller, the softer current pricing means there may be less immediate upside than in a stronger market, but the model’s strong desirability still helps support demand.

Because this is a distinctive luxury SUV with strong owner satisfaction, it should remain appealing to buyers who want character and status in one package. 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 highlights a key caveat: it has a greater tendency to roll over than other SUVs, which makes it a less ideal choice for young or inexperienced drivers or families. The expert notes also point out that advanced safety features are not standard, and the active lane-keeping system is unusually intrusive.

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:

• 31.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 75.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.82% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 brings the first full redesign, with a more modern feel while keeping the G-Class character.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $121,975, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $105,414 average.
• It keeps the redesigned G-Class formula while preserving the old-school character.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of price, inventory, and the redesigned G-Class experience, the 2019 is the smarter buy. If you are willing to spend more for the next model year’s slightly newer take on the same formula, the 2020 is the alternative to compare.
