How much does the Mercedes-Benz G-Class cost in today's market?

Used Mercedes-Benz G-Class prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class's current nationwide average price is $151,950, and its year-round low is $140,644.55. That puts the model's pricing squarely in luxury territory, with newer examples commanding especially high asking prices. 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 owner approval across the full lineup, and its appeal comes through clearly in both owner feedback and expert coverage. The all-generations owner rating is 4.71/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise its iconic styling, luxurious feel, and powerful performance, along with the model’s distinctive off-road character. The G-Class also stands out for its strong presence and the sense that it delivers something special every time you drive it.

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

The trade-offs that come up most often are high ownership costs, limited cargo space, and seats that some shoppers may find less comfortable than expected. Even so, the G-Class remains a compelling choice if you want a luxury SUV with real personality and serious capability.

30.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Mercedes-Benz G-Class models reliable?

Owners consistently describe the Mercedes-Benz G-Class as a special, well-built SUV with strong performance and a distinctive character that holds up across model years. Expert coverage also reinforces its rugged identity and long-running appeal, especially for shoppers who value capability and presence.

• 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 matters.

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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 85.8% — 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.

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

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class offers...

• G 550: This is the best-value trim if you want the core G-Class experience with a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, mild-hybrid assistance, nine-speed automatic transmission, permanent 4WD, and locking front, center, and rear differentials.
• AMG G 63: This trim adds the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, AMG Active Ride Control suspension, and the most performance-focused setup in the lineup, making it the pick if you want the strongest acceleration and a more adjustable ride character.

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

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

The highest-volume years tend to be the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right color, mileage, and price. They also often sit near the sweet spot between newer features and broader availability.

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 declines are concentrated in older and recent premium years, while a few years are changing only slightly. One model year is still moving upward, showing that demand remains strong for certain older examples.

The 2014, 2015, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

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 −2.38% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −5.22%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 30.4% 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 $181,370. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class offers a distinctive boxy design, strong presence, and a cabin that feels unmistakably special.

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, automated lane centering, and an emergency-stop feature.
• Starting price: the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G 550 and AMG G 63 are scheduled to reach U.S. dealerships in the second half of 2024, with pricing information to be revealed closer to that time.

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.
