One word best describes the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is extreme. The 2014 G-Class is among the foremost capable SUVs ever created. Dearly known as the “G-Wagen” from the German Gelandewagen (cross-country car), it's rugged to the water environment, protection differentials and therefore the ability to climb or descend an improbable 80 percent incline. Inside, Mercedes' final all-terrain bike is as luxurious as you'd expect for SUV cost accounting over $115,000. Just like the  Rover or a high-end Porsche Cayenne, most consumers can never use their G-Wagen to a fraction of its capabilities. However such principle matters very little. For this elite set, the rationale to possess a Mercedes G is far just like the vehicle itself: It's all concerning being extreme. By its rough and rugged appearance alone you'll be able to accurately surmise that the 2014 Mercedes-Benz G550 SUV is not a corner-carver. Its raised center of gravity and weight in way over 5,500 pounds disqualify this ultra-premium SUV from turning on a dime. Its steering and brake feel are refined and of top-grade. For its bulk, the G-Wagen is amazingly fast in a very line.

Its V8 engine permits the G550 to hit sixty mph in concerning six seconds. In route and around-town driving the G-Class feels easier to manage than you would possibly expect. It is a lot of doubtless to ramble urban center, wherever the G-Class really excels is much off the overwhelmed path. Few house owners can use it as so, however the G-Class remains a very formidable cross-country machine. The G-Class's interior is another story. This can be still a Mercedes, after all, and a 6-figure one at that. Its cabin is sort of entirely handcrafted and options premium animal skin that covers the seats and dash. Polished wood and chrome accents abound.

Controls are a fine mixture of utilitarian (the 3 outstanding locking-differential buttons displayed front and center) and stylish (a crisp, 7-inch tablet-style command screen). The G's square form suggests that headroom is much unlimited, however taller occupants may need for a lot of legroom. The Manufacturer’s advised Retail worth (MSRP) of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is simply over $115,000 for the G550 and first-rate $136,000 for the G63 AMG. At these costs, the G-Class is among the highest-priced SUVs out there. Rivals at these worth points embody the Porsche Cayenne Turbo (roughly $111,000) and Cayenne Turbo S ($147,000), and biography editions of the Land Rover ($136,000).  As for marketing worth, we tend to expect the G-Class to retain its worth higher than the Rover, furthermore the Porsche Cayenne, that last year was topped as Best Luxury Mid-Size SUV/Crossover Awards.
