An Enduring Icon: The Modern Mercedes-Benz G-Class Rules the Great Outdoors

Mercedes-Benz G-Class Off-Roading Capabilities 

There are very few vehicles on earth that combine the rugged, off-road prowess of a military-grade vehicle with the opulent luxury of a high-end sedan. In fact, most people immediately think of one particular vehicle, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. At Limited Spec, we’re proud to offer a curated selection of these legendary machines, understanding that they're much more than a status symbol—they're a testament to engineering excellence. The G-Wagen, as it's affectionately known, has a storied history of conquering the toughest terrain, and today's 2025 models are no exception. 

The Off-Roading Powertrain and Suspension 

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class off-roading capabilities begin with its robust foundation. It retains the classic ladder-frame chassis and solid rear axle, a design choice that is essential for its off-road dexterity. Furthermore, the G-Class suspension has been significantly modernized with an independent front suspension, which makes it far more comfortable on paved roads while still allowing for remarkable wheel articulation when you venture off the beaten path. This combination provides a compliant ride on the highway, yet it's designed to climb a 100% grade and traverse a 35-degree lateral slope. 

For instance, the formidable G 63 and its AMG Performance 4MATIC® permanent all-wheel drive system prove that raw power can be harnessed with precision. This powertrain is further complemented by a 48-volt mild-hybrid system for a subtle boost in torque and efficiency. Moreover, the G-Class features a low-range gear reduction and, most importantly, three fully locking differentials—front, center, and rear—which allow it to maintain momentum even when only a single wheel has traction. Thus, you are truly prepared for any challenge.
