• 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 high upkeep and repair costs than to the vehicle’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 84.9% — 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: 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.

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

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

• G 550: The base gasoline model uses a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six rated at 443 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, with a nine-speed automatic transmission and permanent four-wheel drive with locking front, center, and rear differentials. It suits you if you want the classic G-Class experience with strong capability and the best-value entry point.
• AMG G 63: This performance model keeps the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with 577 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque, adds AMG Active Ride Control suspension, and comes standard with 20-inch wheels. It suits you if you want the most powerful gasoline G-Class and a more performance-focused setup.
• G 580 with EQ Technology: This all-electric version uses four individually controlled permanent-magnet electric motors and brings the G-Class into a fully electric format.

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 usually give you more choices, which can make it easier to compare condition, mileage, and pricing. They also tend to be the easiest places to find a used G-Class that matches your budget and feature priorities.

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

Most model years in the table are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used. The declines are generally modest to moderate, with a few years showing larger drops that can create stronger buying opportunities. One year is moving up, which shows that some older examples can still command firmer pricing.

The 2014, 2025, 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 −1.78% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −5.06%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 32.1% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 32.1%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $179,284. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class offers a distinctive boxy design, luxury presence, and serious off-road capability that make it feel special in any model year.

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.
