2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G 550 SUV

Vintage colors and numerous design details capture the charm of the historic G-Class
Exclusive edition strictly limited to 460 units worldwide
Interior combines heritage-inspired elements with modern comfort and technology

Mercedes-Benz delights G-Class enthusiasts with the new highly exclusive G-Class Edition STRONGER THAN THE 1980s. With a compelling blend of historic colors, exclusive design elements and equipment details from the legendary 280 GE, it captures the magic of the off-road legend's origins. The special model pays tribute to the first G-Class model series (W 460), which first captured hearts in the 1980s with its unique combination of on- and off-road capability and laid the foundation for the unrivaled success and cult status of the iconic "Geländewagen." Strictly limited to 460 units globally, the G-Class Edition STRONGER THAN THE 1980s arrives at select U.S. dealerships later in 2025.

Historic MANUFAKTUR Agave Green and Design Elements

The limited G-Class Edition STRONGER THAN THE 1980s fuses the modern technology and comfort of a 2025 Mercedes-Benz G 550 with the charm and aesthetics of a heritage model. This exclusive edition is offered in MANUFAKTUR Agave Green, an earthy tone that radiates robustness and a close connection to nature while emphasizing the outstanding off-road capability of the G-Class.

Prominent amber indicator lights above each headlight provide a distinctive vintage touch. To round off the heritage-inspired styling, the complete front fascia, radiator grille, brush guard, underguard, front and rear bumpers, side sills, flared wheel arches and exterior mirror housings are finished in MANUFAKTUR Night Black Magno, echoing the rugged look of the first G-Class. Classic 18-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels in silver provide a striking contrast.

The Mercedes star on the hood adopts the historic emblem design, featuring the laurel wreath and Mercedes-Benz lettering on a blue background. The tailgate door features a silver brand badge with black “Mercedes-Benz” lettering, along with an edition-specific spare wheel cover — both nods to the 1980s original.

Select equipment details from the PROFESSIONAL Line Exterior contribute to the powerful off-road appearance, including PROFESSIONAL mud flaps, all-terrain tires, and a PROFESSIONAL roof rack fitted specifically to vehicles finished in MANUFAKTUR Agave Green.

The MANUFAKTUR Logo Package in black, featuring black door handles with an embossed “G” logo, underscores the attention to detail. A projection beneath the exterior mirrors welcomes the driver and front passenger with “G – STRONGER THAN TIME” illuminated alongside the vehicle.

Dove Grey Fabric Seat Inserts and 1980s-Style “Schöckl Proved” Badge

The interior highlights unique elements inspired by the early days of the off-road icon. Black leather seats feature Dove Grey fabric inserts, a material that was highly popular during the 1980s. “STRONGER THAN THE 1980s” branding is incorporated into the front passenger grab handle.

Front door sill panels display the topography of Schöckl mountain near Graz, the legendary test track where the G-Class has demonstrated its exceptional off-road capability since 1979. The traditional “Schöckl Proved” badge at the base of the B-pillar is rendered in classic 1980s style, showcasing a heritage G-Class model finished in MANUFAKTUR Agave Green.

A “1 of 460” badge on the center console underscores the exclusivity of this strictly limited special edition.
