The Mercedes-Benz G-Class, an automotive icon for decades, continues to redefine the luxury SUV segment with the 2025 G550 model. This vehicle seamlessly blends robust off-road capability with opulent comfort and cutting-edge technology. The G550 stands as a testament to timeless design and engineering prowess, offering a unique driving experience that is both exhilarating and refined.
Striking Exterior and Customizable Aesthetics
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G550 is immediately recognizable by its classic, boxy silhouette, a design hallmark that has remained largely unchanged throughout its history. The standard Obsidian Black metallic paint exudes sophistication, while the availability of exclusive MANUFAKTUR colors allows for a high degree of personalization, ensuring your G550 reflects your individual style.
The dimensions of the G550 speak to its commanding presence and practical design. With a wheelbase of 113.8 inches and an overall length of 190.0 inches (including the spare tire), the G550 strikes a balance between maneuverability and spaciousness. Its height of 77.7 inches and width of 86.1 inches (with mirrors) contribute to its imposing stance and generous interior volume. The track width, both front and rear, measures 64.5 inches, enhancing stability both on and off the road.
Potent Performance and Advanced Engineering
Under the hood, the 2025 G550 is powered by a state-of-the-art 3.0L inline-6 turbo engine, augmented with hybrid assist and an electric auxiliary compressor. This advanced powertrain delivers a robust 443 horsepower at 6,100 rpm and a substantial 413 lb-ft of torque, available from 1,950 to 5,500 rpm. The result is impressive acceleration, propelling the G550 from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds.
Paired with the engine is the smooth and responsive 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission, ensuring optimal power delivery and efficiency. The permanent all-wheel drive system, complete with a 2-speed transfer case, provides exceptional traction and control in all conditions, from city streets to challenging off-road terrains. Despite its powerful performance, the G550 also achieves respectable fuel economy, with 17 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway.
Luxurious Interior and Spacious Comfort
The interior of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G550 is meticulously crafted to provide a luxurious and comfortable environment for up to five passengers. Front occupants enjoy a generous 41.9 inches of headroom, 38.7 inches of legroom, and 57.8 inches of shoulder room. Rear passengers are also well accommodated with 40.5 inches of headroom, 39.5 inches of legroom, and 57.4 inches of shoulder room.
Behind the rear seats, the G550 offers a practical 34.8 cubic feet of cargo capacity, making it suitable for both everyday errands and longer journeys.
