Mercedes' 4x4 icon hits half a million ahead of an electrified future ⚡️
Though it can sometimes feel like hundreds of thousands of AMG G63s have been sold just in central London over the past few years, the G’s success has been somewhat of a longer burn. In production since 1979, the 500,000one as recently as 2020. The big G - especially in the current W463 form, launched in 2018 - really is as popular as it seems.
To mark this momentous occasion, Mercedes has made itself a retro G-Class, a brand-new car made to look like something from 1979. Benz being Benz, it hasn’t done things by halves, either; when even the indicators have been made more orange you sense this has been a labour of love beyond a usual G.
The interior has also been given a retro rework , with what’s being called ‘chequered fabric typical of the time’ in place of leather. We’ll assume a kind of houndstooth effect. There are also ‘No. 500,000’ logos plus a few bits borrowed from the current customisation range of options. It’s all very smart, very modern Mercedes, to the extent that you wouldn’t be surprised if a limited run of models were made after this. There’s surely got to be a few more fans of this look out there.
Or perhaps it could be reserved for that electric G-Class, which Mercedes confirmed is plan to roll off the same production line in 2024. An old-school look with modern, electrified underpinnings would surely prove popular. As for the EV itself, Mercedes is promising new off-road standards thanks to four individually controlled motors. ‘Optimally prepared for the adventures of the future’, it reckons.
