2023 Mercedes-Benz G 550 is a one of a kind. And when it's what you want, nothing else will do, even if there are objectively better options
. Without them, it just wouldn’t be a G. Like many things we crave, though, they’re not always the best for us, and depending on your needs, you could be regretting caving to the crave.-level G-Class starts around $140,000. And for the money, you are getting one of the rare vehicles that can unironically be called iconic. Even though every body panel was changed with the redesign, it still looks just like the SUV that was introduced in the 1970s.
Thankfully, the interior is actually very different from the past models. This is most evident in the packaging. There's so much more legroom than the previous generation, in which your knees tended to be jammed up in the dash and center stack. Your tallest hats will also fit under the sky-high roof, regardless of your own prodigious height. The more spacious area also means the steering wheel isn't placed awkwardly.
Besides the packaging, the interior showcases superb materials at every corner. It's all leather and real wood trim, even on the dash’s signature grab handle. The look is still modern with the large dual screens for instruments and infotainment. And of course oodles of comfort features are on offer such as massaging seats.
Now, while this may be the “new G,” it’s still four years old, which in normal car terms, would be on the back end of its lifecycle. In that way, it’s starting to show its age. It still uses an infotainment system and controller that's a generation old, one operated mainly by a control knob in the center console, with infotainment graphics at least a generation older.
As for the driving experience, the clear highlight is the standard twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8. It makes 416 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, and is paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission and full-time four-wheel drive. They're good numbers, though acceleration is … well, it's not bad, but it's not exciting, either, apart from the low, rumbly, intimidating exhaust note. It feels pretty par for the luxury SUV course.
