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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 85% — 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:

• 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: MBUX infotainment system with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a pair of 12.3-inch screens.
• Fuel 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. 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: The base G-Class brings the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, mild-hybrid assistance, nine-speed automatic transmission, permanent 4WD, and locking front, center, and rear differentials. It also gets the MBUX infotainment system, dual 12.3-inch screens, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and standard 19-inch wheels, making it the best-value trim for most buyers.
• G 580 with EQ Technology: This all-electric version adds four individually controlled permanent-magnet electric motors, a combined 579 horsepower and 859 lb-ft of torque, a “G Turn” feature, and an EPA-estimated 239 miles of range.
• AMG G 63: The AMG model keeps the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, adds AMG Active Ride Control suspension, and brings a more performance-focused setup with 20-inch wheels standard, plus 22-inch wheels and carbon-fiber exterior trim available.

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

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

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare and a stronger chance of finding the right color, trim, and condition. They also sit close to the newest updates while still offering used-market pricing.

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

Most model years are down year over year, which creates better opportunities for used buyers across much of the lineup. The largest drops are concentrated in older and mid-cycle years, while a few recent and older examples are changing more slowly. Overall, the table points to a market where you can find meaningful price movement without giving up the G-Class’s core appeal.

The 2014, 2015, and 2025 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

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.

• 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.
