Summary
The Mercedes-Benz G 550 (2025) is an off-roader appreciated for its modern redesign, advanced technology and a refined ride. The new six-cylinder mild-hybrid engine offers smooth and efficient performance. This model is ideal for those looking for a combination of luxury, technological innovations and a safe and comfortable driving experience. However, the road ride remains shaky and uncomfortable for everyday use. For some, the lack of sound of the original V8 may be a disadvantage.
