2022 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G 550

The G-Class is Mercedes-Benz's iconic boxy SUV, the one that looks like a military truck but rides like a luxury car. It drives with a commanding presence, and the tall seating gives you a clear view over traffic. Inside, the cabin is plush and modern, with premium materials and a spacious rear seat. The boxy shape means a squared-off cargo area that swallows bulky items easily. The G 550 keeps the classic boxy look and full-time four-wheel drive with locking diffs, while the AMG G 63 adds a stiffer suspension and a more powerful engine. Its 4.0L V8 makes 416 horsepower and works with the nine-speed automatic to move this 5,554 pounds SUV with steady authority, though expect fuel economy around 16 mpg combined.
