Mercedes-Benz consistently makes the worlds best sports cars and luxury automobiles, so why not off-road vehicles? The G-Class, introduced in 1979, is arguably one of the most iconic Mercedes-Benz vehicles to roll on four wheels. It was originally designed for off-road use only, and has since evolved to be a star both on and off the road. Now 35 years later, the 2015 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is available in Scottsdale AZ and features some of the most advanced and luxurious automotive technology on the planet.
Over the last few decades, the G-Class has retained its classic exterior look, which has developed a loyal group of drivers who understand the potential of the G-Class and appreciate its Military heritage. For 2015, the G-Class is available in two trims. The G550 and the G63 AMG both have price tags in the six digit range, but they also offer incredible power, comfort, and luxury. With a powerful 5.5-liter V8 engine, the 2015 G-Class has the potential to produce 536 horsepower and tow up to 7,000 pounds.
