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

Prices have softened 8.47% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 429 listings available, which suggests you have some room to compare prices and condition.

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

Yes — it earns a 5/5 from owners and a 7/10 from our experts. The standout strength is Look and feel at 10/10.

Drivers consistently praise its rugged design, solid build quality, modern features, and head-turning looks. The overview also points to premium interior materials and a vehicle that is fun to drive, which fits the G-Class’s mix of luxury and personality.

The trade-offs are 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 serious presence rather than a rational daily-driver choice.

With 33.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, there are still worthwhile 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. The user feedback also points to solid build quality and a trouble-free, dependable feel that owners appreciate over time.

The expert notes reinforce that sense of durability by describing the G-Class as something that feels carved from a single block of steel. The cost-effectiveness notes also frame it as a vehicle built with expensive gear, which can support long-term toughness even if upkeep is not cheap.

For used buyers, the main ownership risk is less about basic dependability and more about 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 75.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a premium SUV like this can hide costly past damage behind a polished presentation. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the body, suspension, and interior controls, and pay close attention to visibility-related wear and any signs of hard use. Since this model is expensive to own, condition matters more than chasing the lowest sticker price.

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 base setup still leaves some convenience and safety features off the standard list.
• 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, permanent 4WD, and three locking differentials.
• Safety package: The stability control and active lane-keeping systems are described as aggressive, and advanced safety features are not standard.
• Infotainment: The Comand system includes a customizable instrument panel, WiFi, live traffic, and touchpad controls, though some functions are buried in submenus.

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 better-value choice 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 delivers the model’s signature character without pushing into the AMG price tier.
• AMG G63: Choose this if you want the higher-output, more aggressive version of the G-Class and are willing to pay for it. It is the performance-focused option in the lineup.

The safety content notes that the G-Class has not been tested by NHTSA or IIHS, and it also warns that its rollover tendency makes it a poor fit for young or inexperienced drivers.

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

This is a moderate buyer’s market, so selective shoppers can still find value if they move carefully.

• Deal availability: 33.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 429 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.47% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 75.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $104,626, 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 $104,638 sits slightly below last year's $114,320.

That decline suggests the market has cooled, which can help you buy more favorably today. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the vehicle has been maintained.

Because this model still has strong enthusiast appeal and a distinctive image, clean examples should remain easier to move than ordinary luxury SUVs. 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 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class has not been tested by NHTSA or IIHS, so there are no crash-test ratings to cite.

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

The safety content highlights a key caveat: the G-Class has a greater tendency to roll over than other SUVs. It also notes that advanced safety features are not standard, and the expert notes describe stability control and lane-keeping intervention as especially aggressive.

That means you should think of this as a vehicle with strong structural presence and serious capability, but not one that is especially forgiving for inexperienced drivers or families.

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:

• 33.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 75.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.47% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It brings the first full redesign, with a more modern feel while keeping the classic G-Class character.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $120,778, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $104,638 average.
• It keeps the redesigned G-Class formula and adds the next model year's refinement.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of price and personality, the 2019 is the smarter buy. If you are willing to spend more for the next model year’s refinement, the 2020 is the secondary path for buyers who care less about value and more about staying one step newer.
