Summary
The Mercedes-Benz G 550 4x4-2 (2017) is an off-roader rated for durability, excellent off-road capabilities thanks to its port axle and V8 biturbo engine. Large dimensions and unique design make a special car. However, the road ride is harsh and uncomfortable, fuel consumption is extremely high, and city maneuvering is challenging.
