Been in production since 1879, The new G-Wagen will be the first extensive redesign since the off-roader’s introduction nearly 40 years ago. The car has retained its original architecture with time to time changes to its engines and interior to keep up with customer demands. In addition to the mentioned features. The 300,000th G-Wagen carries its usual rugged body-on-frame design with Mercedes-Benz’s Off-Road package of 16-inch wheels, more rugged all-terrain tires, headlight guards, and a roof rack made to keep up with all your off-road adventures.
“The team which has contributed substantially to this success includes employees who have been part of the story of the G-Class for 38 years. We have enjoyed decades of successful cooperation with Magna Steyr in the production of the G-Class.” – Dr. Gunnar Güthenke, head of the off-road products at Mercedes-Benz.
Mercedes' hand-built luxury SUV will carry the car’s lineage and attributes on display for a couple of months and will be heavily featured on Mercedes-Benz’s social media channels. The car is set to go on a few adventures which can be followed through the twitter hashtag, #Gventure300k.
