How much does the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class cost?

Prices have softened 6.21% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 755 listings available, which gives you a meaningful pool to compare prices and equipment.

Is the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class a good car?

Yes — the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.5/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Performance, and Technology.

It stands out for its unmistakable design, powerful engines, and impressive off-road capability, while still delivering the kind of luxury and tech you expect from a modern Mercedes. The trade-offs are clear: it is rougher around the edges than other luxury SUVs, with not much cargo space and uncomfortable seats, and it is also poor value for money.

With 30.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively if you want the right combination of condition and price.

Is the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class reliable?

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

The G-Class is built around a durable, capability-first formula, and the 2025 update keeps it current with refreshed powertrains and tech. Its performance setup includes a turbocharged inline-six with mild-hybrid assistance, permanent four-wheel drive, and locking differentials, which reinforces its rugged character.

Mercedes also adds practical ownership touches like a four-year, 50,000-mile new-vehicle warranty and a first scheduled maintenance visit that is on the house. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that this is still an expensive, specialized SUV, so repairs, upkeep, and ownership costs can be harder to justify than on a more conventional luxury SUV.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 96.7% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially because this is a high-priced, low-volume SUV. Focus on overall condition, signs of hard use, and whether the equipment and driver-assistance features work as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base G 550 gets 19-inch wheels, while 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires and 20-inch wheels are also available. AMG G 63 models add a sportier steering wheel and can be optioned with 22-inch wheels and carbon-fiber exterior trim, so the base trim is the one to watch if you want the most straightforward luxury-off-road setup.
• Powertrain: The G 550 uses a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with 443 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, while the AMG G 63 keeps a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 with 577 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque. Both use a nine-speed automatic, permanent four-wheel drive, and mild-hybrid assistance.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, park assist, a 360-degree camera system, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, safe exit assist, and traffic sign recognition. Mercedes’ Pre-Safe system is also included, along with route-based speed adaptation, automated lane centering, and an emergency-stop feature.
• Infotainment: You get MBUX with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus dual 12.3-inch screens. The system also includes augmented reality navigation, voice control, and an off-road menu, and the Transparent Hood camera view is a useful feature to verify.
• Fuel efficiency: EPA fuel-economy ratings were not available at the time of publication, so you should shop this model expecting high fuel use rather than efficiency.

Which 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class trim should I buy?

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is offered in 2 trim levels: G 550, AMG G 63.

Here's the short version:

• G 550: This is the better-value choice if you want the G-Class experience without paying for the AMG upgrade. It still delivers the model’s distinctive design, strong off-road hardware, and a plush cabin, while the updated inline-six and mild-hybrid setup keep it current.
• AMG G 63: Choose this if you want the most powerful and most dramatic version of the G-Class. It adds the V8, stronger acceleration, and AMG-specific hardware, but it is the more expensive and less rational pick.

The safety content notes that standard driver-assistance features are generous, but official crash ratings were not released at the time of publication.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it makes sense to shop carefully and move quickly when you find the right listing.

• Deal availability: 30.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 755 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.21% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 96.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $190,063, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class's resale value?

The current average of $191,410 sits slightly below last year's $204,074.

That price movement suggests the market has eased a bit, which can help you as a buyer but may temper near-term resale upside if you purchase at the wrong price. For a future seller, the key is to buy well and avoid overpaying, because the model’s premium positioning leaves less room for depreciation surprises.

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 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class safe?

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class had not yet received IIHS or NHTSA crash ratings at the time of publication.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard driver-assistance features include forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, park assist, a 360-degree camera system, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, safe exit assist, and traffic sign recognition. Mercedes also includes Pre-Safe, plus new-for-2025 route-based speed adaptation, automated lane centering, and an emergency-stop feature that can bring the SUV to a stop if the driver becomes incapacitated.

Should I buy a 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 30.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 96.7% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.21% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2025 model gets a refresh highlighted by updated powertrains and tech.

The bottom line: If you want the freshest version of the G-Class with updated powertrains and tech, the 2025 is the one to target. If you are more price-sensitive, a nearby model year may offer a lower entry point while still delivering the same core G-Class character.
