Are Mercedes-Benz G-Class models reliable?

Owners consistently praise the G-Class for its rugged build quality, luxurious design, and strong performance across the model years. Expert reviews also reinforce its distinctive character and off-road capability, which helps explain why it has such a devoted following.

• Owners rate the Mercedes-Benz G-Class between 4 and 5 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is tied more to high upkeep and premium running costs than to the model’s core appeal.

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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 83.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2020 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: 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.
• Infotainment: The G-Class features the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a pair of 12.3-inch screens.
• Fuel efficiency: The new mild-hybrid systems and the G 550’s downsized engine might yield some improvements over the 2024 G-Class’ 14 mpg combined rating, but this SUV will never be frugal when it comes to fuel consumption.

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

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class offers these trims:

• G 550: The base model adds the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with 443 horsepower, mild-hybrid assistance, nine-speed automatic transmission, permanent 4WD with locking front, center, and rear differentials, plus the updated MBUX cabin with dual 12.3-inch displays and wireless smartphone integration.
• AMG G 63: This performance trim adds the 577-horsepower twin-turbo V8, AMG Active Ride Control suspension, and 20-inch wheels, making it the best fit if you want the most power and the most adjustable ride character.
• G 580 with EQ Technology: This all-electric version adds four individually controlled electric motors and the model’s first-ever electric powertrain, making it the standout choice if you want the newest powertrain in the lineup.

What Mercedes-Benz G-Class do most buyers choose?

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class years with the most listings are 2024, 2022, and 2023.

Higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right color, trim, and price. They also often sit in the sweet spot between newer features and broader availability.

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

Most model years show year-over-year price declines, which is good news if you’re shopping used. A few older years are rising, though, so the market is not moving in one direction across every model year. The biggest drops are concentrated in several newer and mid-cycle years, while the smallest changes appear in the oldest examples.

The 2018, 2014, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the Mercedes-Benz G-Class safe?

• 2025: 7/10
• 2021: 8/10
• 2020: 7/10
• 2019: 6/10

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.

For the safest used buy, the 2021 model posts the highest confirmed score of 8/10.

Should I buy a used Mercedes-Benz G-Class now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −6.21% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −4.73%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 30.6% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 31.7%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $175,167. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class offers a distinctive boxy design, a luxurious cabin, and serious off-road capability that make it feel unlike most other SUVs.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The base G 550 trades last year’s twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine for a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six rated at 443 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, while the AMG G 63 keeps its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, which produces 577 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque.
• Tech: It features the same Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system as other vehicles wearing the three-pointed star, with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a pair of 12.3-inch screens.
• Safety: Three new features were also added for the 2025 model year, including route-based speed adaptation for adaptive cruise control, automated lane centering, and an emergency-stop feature.
• Starting price: For reference, the 2024 G 550 and G 63 priced around $143,000 and $183,000, respectively.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
