Summary

The Mercedes-Benz G 500 Grand Edition (2006) is an off-roader appreciated for its durability, powerful V8 engine performance and excellent off-road capabilities. This model offered a pronounced luxury feel and good highway performance unlike previous models. However, high fuel consumption was a weak point, and the city driving experience could be difficult due to the focus on off-road functionality.
