Reviewers generally celebrate the G-Class for its iconic squared-off design, a richly appointed interior loaded with premium materials, and a driving character that blends surprising refinement with genuine off-road authority. Most acknowledge the commanding road presence and strong powertrain options while noting that the tall, boxy body style creates a driving experience that feels deliberately old-school compared to more modern luxury SUV alternatives.
