The 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen doesn’t look much different than the boxy SUVs from each of the 40 years preceding it. Typically, if a vehicle is indistinguishable from its predecessors, that’s a bad thing. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is anything but typical. I went to San Diego...

Mani Kulasooriya just wanted to build a capable off-road truck that wasn’t too flamboyant. He failed miserably. His one-of-a-kind 2006 Mercedes-Benz G500 pickup truck can’t turn a wheel without drawing a crowd, whether it’s off road in a forest full of redwoods or picking up...

The German tuner Brabus turns Mercedes-Benz products into even more powerful yet still luxurious monster machines. Usually, Brabus does a fair job of subtly upgrading styling as well. Brabus has gotten its hands on the 2019 Mercedes-Benz G500 and done a fantastic job of making powertrain...

Mercedes has a completely new G-Class for the first time since the boxy beast debuted in the 1970s. The V-12 does not return, at least for now, but the outgoing V-12-powered G65 remains a tremendously powerful, exceedingly expensive, and wickedly fast square box. It's too fast, it seems, when the...

Jon Olsson is doing everything right. The man knows how to enjoy life, and part of that involves taking a car and modifying it in a way that works for him. The latest example of this is Olsson's Mercedes-Benz G550, which has been transformed into a roofless go-anywhere mobile. It has a name. The...

No, this isn't the monster G-Class cooked up by the mad boffins in the Mercedes-AMG engineering department. Instead, this is the copycat result cooked up by Chinese automaker BAIC.

Change too little, and it could go unnoticed. How did Mercedes-Benz designers ensure the iconic G-Class was still a G at the end of the day?...

Mercedes-Benz has redesigned an icon, but it might not look like it. The Gelandewagen carries on the boxy, brutalist styling it pioneered in the 1970s.
