The Mercedes-Benz G-Class's current nationwide average price is $150,968, and its year-round low is $140,543.24. That puts the model's pricing squarely in luxury territory, with newer examples commanding especially strong premiums. Recently, prices have come down for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

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

Yes — the Mercedes-Benz G-Class earns strong praise from owners across the lineup, and its appeal is anchored by an all-generations user rating of 4.71/5. Owners consistently highlight its luxurious design, powerful performance, rugged build quality, iconic style, and off-road capability. The G-Class also stands out for its blend of luxury and functionality, which gives it a distinctive character that many shoppers find hard to match.

The all-generations owner rating is 4.71/5 across every model year in the data.

Expert reviews rate the 2021 and 2025 models among the highest across all years.

Are Mercedes-Benz G-Class models reliable?

Owners consistently praise the Mercedes-Benz G-Class for its rugged build quality, luxurious feel, and strong performance. Across the years in the data, it also earns high marks from drivers who value its distinctive design and off-road capability.

• Owners rate the Mercedes-Benz G-Class between 4.0 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is tied more to expensive upkeep and repair costs than to the vehicle's core appeal, so a thorough pre-purchase inspection is especially important.

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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 85.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2019 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Fuel efficiency: The 2025 G-Class lineup consists of gasoline G 550 and AMG G 63 models, and a first-ever all-electric G 580 with EQ Technology variant. 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. Both models add mild-hybrid system providing 20 hp and 148 lb-ft at lower speeds, with everything connected to nine-speed automatic transmissions and permanent four-wheel drive (4WD) with locking front, center, and rear differentials.

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

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

• G 550: Best-value choice if you want the core G-Class experience with the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, mild-hybrid assist, nine-speed automatic, and permanent 4WD with locking front, center, and rear differentials.
• AMG G 63: The performance-focused trim adds the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, AMG Active Ride Control suspension, and the most powerful, most dramatic version of the G-Class lineup.

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

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class years with the most listings are 2024, 2022, and 2025.

Higher-volume years tend to be the easiest places to shop because you get more inventory to compare and a better chance of finding the right color, mileage, and equipment mix. They also often attract more deal-priced listings, which can make them especially appealing for used buyers.

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

Most model years are down year over year, which is good news if you're shopping used and want to benefit from softer pricing. The changes are generally modest for many years, though a few older examples show larger drops. One model year is moving up, which shows that some versions can still command stronger pricing.

The 2017 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2014, 2017, and 2025 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

The 2025 G-Class includes standard driver-assistance features such as 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 −2.03% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −5.0%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 26.8% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 27.9%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $180,822. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class offers a distinctive boxy design and a rare mix of luxury, capability, and character that few vehicles can match.

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 2028 inventory to mature.
