Why it stands out

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz G-Class stands out because it blends serious ruggedness with the kind of luxury and technology expected from Mercedes-Benz. Its boxy shape still looks much like the original G-Wagen, but the vehicle is actually a thoroughly redesigned version that was introduced for the 2019 model year while trying to preserve as much of the old character as possible. That old-school personality is part of the appeal: the G-Class feels anachronistic in a way that makes it distinctive among modern luxury SUVs.

It also has a reputation for capability and refinement in equal measure. The G-Class is described as one of the last SUVs with true off-road capability, and it is praised for premium interior materials and surprisingly good handling. At the same time, it is not an easy recommendation on value, since it is called poor value for money and a little too rugged for the money. An overly aggressive lane-keep assist is another drawback, but for buyers drawn to its unique mix of toughness and luxury, those compromises may be part of the package.
