About the Mercedes-Benz G-Class W463
The W463 G-Class modernised the original military-derived G-Wagen with a more luxurious interior while retaining its squared-off body. The 2012 G 550 has a naturally aspirated V8 and permanent four-wheel drive. Three locking differentials remain central to its formidable off-road capability. Its upright shape, commanding driving position and unmistakable doors define the experience.
