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

Prices have softened 1.75% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 791 listings available, which gives you a meaningful amount of inventory to compare.

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

Yes — 5/5 from users, and the expert score is 7.5/10. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Performance, and Technology.

The 2025 G-Class stands out for its unmistakable design, strong luxury presence, and real off-road capability. It also gets a refresh for 2025 with updated powertrains and tech, so you’re looking at a vehicle that leans into both character and modern convenience.

The trade-offs are just as clear: it’s rougher around the edges than many luxury SUVs, and the cabin prioritizes personality and capability over everyday practicality. It also has limited cargo space and uncomfortable seats, so it suits you best if you value image, capability, and exclusivity more than utility.

32.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which suggests there are some attractive opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class reliable?

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

The G-Class is presented as a durable, capability-first luxury SUV with a strong reputation for ruggedness and a modernized powertrain lineup for 2025. Its updated mild-hybrid systems and refreshed tech point to continued refinement, while the model’s core identity remains focused on strength, luxury, and off-road competence.

The performance notes emphasize that the G-Class is still genuinely quick and capable, with permanent four-wheel drive and locking differentials supporting its all-terrain character. Mercedes also backs it with a four-year, 50,000-mile new-vehicle warranty, which helps reduce early ownership risk.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that this is a complex, expensive SUV to own once warranty coverage ends, so maintenance and repair costs matter as much as mileage and condition.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 97.3% — 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 with complex systems. Focus on overall condition, signs of hard use, and whether the vehicle’s luxury and off-road equipment has been maintained properly.

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 come standard with 20-inch wheels, with 22-inch wheels and carbon-fiber exterior trim optional. The cabin is already upscale, but AMG models add a sportier steering wheel and a more performance-focused feel.
• 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 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with 577 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque. Both use a mild-hybrid system, a nine-speed automatic, and permanent four-wheel drive with locking front, center, and rear differentials.
• 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. For 2025, Mercedes also adds route-based speed adaptation, automated lane centering, and an emergency-stop feature.
• Infotainment: You get dual 12.3-inch screens, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, MBUX, augmented reality navigation, excellent voice recognition, and an off-road menu with compass, tire pressure and temperature, and inclinometer readouts. The Transparent Hood feature is especially useful if you plan to use the SUV off-road or in tight urban spaces.
• Fuel efficiency: EPA fuel-economy ratings were not available at the time of publication, and the model is still expected to be thirsty despite the mild-hybrid updates.

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’s extra performance hardware. You still get the refreshed inline-six powertrain, permanent 4WD with locking differentials, the full MBUX tech suite, and the same core luxury-and-off-road personality that defines the model.
• AMG G 63: Choose this if you want the most powerful and most dramatic version of the G-Class. It adds the twin-turbo V8, stronger acceleration, and the new AMG Active Ride Control suspension, which gives you more body-control tuning and a more polished high-speed feel.

The safety package is strong across the lineup, with standard driver-assistance features and new 2025 additions including route-based speed adaptation, automated lane centering, and emergency-stop functionality.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but should move quickly on the right example.

• Deal availability: 32.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 791 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.75% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 97.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $195,728, 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 $195,728 sits slightly below last year's $199,221.

That mild decline suggests the market has softened a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now. For a future seller, the current pricing trend means you may not see rapid appreciation, but the model’s exclusivity and strong desirability can still support demand.

Because this SUV has a distinctive image and a loyal audience, well-kept examples should remain easier to move than more ordinary luxury SUVs. Condition, mileage, and equipment will matter a lot when it’s time to resell.

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 been rated by IIHS or NHTSA 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, which can prepare the cabin for an imminent crash by tightening seatbelts and closing windows.

For 2025, the G-Class adds 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. That gives you a broad safety toolkit, even though formal crash-test results are not yet available.

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:

• 32.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 97.3% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.75% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2025 model brings a meaningful refresh with updated powertrains and tech, plus the first-ever all-electric G-Class variant in the lineup.

The bottom line: If you want the freshest version of the G-Class with updated powertrains, tech, and the strongest current-market context, the 2025 is the one to target. If you’re more price-sensitive, a nearby model year may still deliver the same core G-Class personality for less money, but you’ll give up some of the 2025 updates and current-market advantages.
