2026 Mercedes-Benz G-Class review

Mercedes-Benz G-Class: a sensible pick with a few compromises. Illustrative review

8.0/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a strong contender in its class. Easy to see out of and park; standard driver-assist suite. Price climbs fast with options and engine gets loud under hard acceleration, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $150,000, it costs more than most direct rivals.

Better than the test drive suggested

Replaced an older Mercedes-Benz with this one. Big step up in cargo room; I'd like a little more power from the base engine.

Happy after a year

Bought it for the school runs and road trips and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.
