The 600,000th Mercedes-Benz G-Class has rolled off the production line in Graz, Austria, marking another major milestone for one of the world’s most iconic SUVs. Finished in Obsidian Black Metallic, this special G 580 with EQ Technology continues the tradition of blending unmistakable design with legendary off-road ability.
A Four-Decade Success Story
Since its launch in 1979, the G-Class has built a reputation for rugged durability, luxury, and individuality. Over four decades later, it remains one of Mercedes-Benz’s longest-produced model series, standing alongside the S- and E-Class in heritage. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to balance off-road performance with on-road comfort.
Engineered for All Terrains
Every G-Class, including the latest G 580 EQ, stays true to its original engineering principles. All-wheel drive, three differential locks with 100% locking, and a robust ladder frame are standard. These features, combined with advanced electric technology in the G 580 EQ, make it capable of tackling demanding terrain while offering refined road manners.
Design That Transcends Time
From its round headlights to the exposed rear-mounted spare wheel, the G-Class design remains instantly recognizable. The iconic silhouette has evolved subtly over the years, keeping its heritage intact while adopting modern touches. This timeless look has helped the G-Class achieve cult status among enthusiasts worldwide.
Customization for Every Owner
The MANUFAKTUR program allows customers to tailor their G-Class to personal taste. More than 90% of buyers select at least one unique MANUFAKTUR option, with an average of three per vehicle. Exclusive paint finishes, including heritage colors inspired by classic models, ensure each G-Class can be as individual as its owner.
Looking Ahead
The arrival of the 600,000th unit, especially in the form of the innovative G 580 EQ, shows that the G-Class is not just surviving but thriving in the modern era. By embracing electrification while maintaining its off-road DNA, Mercedes-Benz ensures the G-Class will remain a leader in the luxury SUV segment for years to come.
Summary
With the production of the 600,000th Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the brand celebrates a unique blend of tradition and innovation. The G-Class remains a symbol of strength, style, and individuality, ready for the next chapter in its remarkable journey.
