The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a German SUV that was first introduced to the public in 1979. Serial production began in the same year and continues to this day. Its main production site was the city of Graz in Austria.
Work on the Mercedes G-Class began in 1972, and their goal was to create a car with the best off-road performance, high reliability and relatively lightweight design. Moreover, the main recipient of these cars was to be the Bundeswehr, that is, the West German armed forces at that time! In the end, the car, in a limited and later than planned, got into the German army, but was used by the armed forces of other countries, including Greece and Hungary. In 1979, a civilian version was introduced, which with subsequent modernizations turned into an increasingly luxurious passenger car, but while retaining significant cross-country ability. In 2018, the latest generation of the car (designation: W464) was introduced, which underwent a facelift, improved styling and off-road capabilities, and used two main powertrains: V8 engines with 420 and 585 hp.
