The "G" Class-ical

The Mercedes Benz G Class has grown over the years to become a prestigious car. It is built and designed to stand out from the crowd.

The cross country type vehicle was originally unveiled in 1979, but has been rebuilt into a vehicle that connotes class, elegance and poise. It has been specifically selected by many top chief executive officers and presidents as their car of choice. This is because of its uniqueness and consistency attributes. The Nicaraguan President uses it as an official car, while it features in the entourages of the South African, Russian and Indonesian presidents, among many other dignitaries who use the machine.

It has acquired a series of awards, including the 1983's world's best off roader given by Australian Automotive magazine, "G" 2009 Superstar, given by 4 Wheel fun magazine, Classic of the Future, which it won six times and many others.

The Mercedes Benz G Class can now be ordered with one of the most powerful drive systems, among the range of other models from the Benz Brand. "G" specialists have focused a lot of attention on the car's interior to become a wonder. The Interior which has been built using premier technology, exhibits an interior dual zone climate control and "Out of this world" leather upholstery (in colours of classic red, black, grey, black piano leather, and others). The car has ergonomically optimised front seats for the driver's comfort and safety, with indirect ambient interior lighting and high tech music surround system.
