Mercedes Celebrating Four Decades of G-Class with New Special Edition
Mercedes-Benz is celebrating its legendary box-shaped off-roader with a special Stronger Than Time edition .
The SUV that outlasts all
There are very few current SUVs with round headlights, but the iconic G-Class wears them with pride. Four decades of uninterrupted production has built the reputation of this legendary German SUV. The second-generation G-Class looks very similar to the original and Mercedes-Benz is celebrating four decades of its toughest SUV with a new Stronger Than Time edition.
Boxy but built like a bank vault
The G-Class reminds us all of a time when two-box styling was the only design theme around. Compared to most modern SUVs, with their rounded corners and teardrop profiles, the G-Class is quite refreshing.
More stainless
The Stronger Than Time edition adds stainless steel detailing to the tailgate-mounted spare wheel cover. The stainless steel garnish is repeated on the door sills and you get a badge pronouncing exactly why this G-Class is a bit more special. In a world of plastic automotive marketing, the G-Class edition is credibly authentic.
Name in lights - like it should be
Other distinguishing detail which is unique to the Stronger Than Time edition G-Class, are its puddle lights. They shine the limited edition name and prevent you from stepping in gum or mud when entering or exiting this Mercedes-Benz SUV.
True go-anywhere ability
One of the talents that have made the G-Class so legendary over the last four decades, is its ability to drive up and over nearly anything. Need to climb a flight of stairs? No problem.
Pretty much unstoppable
With the Stronger Than Time edition, you can choose between 20- or 22-inch wheels. No matter which one you select, the G-Class retains exceptional axle-articulation. With three differential locks, you will keep going, even if one or more wheels lift into the air.
You'll back-off, before it runs out of ability
Depending on terrain, the G-Class can apply 100% slope climbing ability on gradient ascents. It is one of those extreme off-roading features which has helped it become so legendary over the last four decades.
What goes up - must come down
Even if the terrain slopes down at 45-degrees, the G-Class is more than capable. Developed in the testing mountain terrain around Graz, in the Austrian Alps, these Mercedes-Benz SUVs are made to log huge mileages in the worst possible conditions.
Rolls over rocks with ease
Another element which gives the G-Class its reputation, is ground clearance. It ranks 10.6-inches between the front wheels and that is more than enough to see it roll over terrain which will stop most other SUVs.
Loves to play dirty
Most German luxury SUVs don't like mud, but the G-Class revels in dirty terrain. Built to military specification, it has always thrived in the worst possible conditions. The Stronger Than Time edition proudly celebrates this.
Loves water too
This is the Stonger Than Time edition G-Class at its best. With 27.6-inches of water wading ability it can cross rivers at will, whilst most other SUVs have to retreat. After four decades of loyal service to adventurers all over the world, the G-Class deserves celebration.
