This year alone, 20 thousand units of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class have come out of production lines in Graz, Austria. A production volume that constitutes a record for the German brand.
Originally developed as a military vehicle, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class has become over the years a bestseller for Mercedes-Benz. For the first time since 1979, the German model reached the mark of 20 thousand units produced in a single year. This record was set with an AMG G63 (top), equipped with a 5.5-litre twin-turbo engine and “full extra” interiors, including white leather upholstery and Designo Mystic White Bright paintwork.NOT TO BE MISSED: Mercedes-Benz X-Class: everything you need to know about the Mercedes pickup truck
“The continuous technical optimization of the G-Class contributes to the great success of this off-road. The production of 20,000 models in a single year confirms the quality of our vehicles. We are very pleased and proud to see that some of our customers have been with us from the beginning.”
Gunnar Guthenke, responsible for Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicles
