Mercedes-Benz has proudly built its 600,000th G-Class SUV, marking a big moment in the history of this iconic vehicle. The special car was made in Graz, Austria, where all G-Class vehicles are built. This milestone model is the G 580 with EQ Technology, an all-electric version finished in Obsidian Black Metallic.
The G-Class first came out in 1979, originally built as a strong, no-nonsense off-road vehicle for military and rugged use. Over the years, it has transformed into a luxury SUV loved by adventurers, celebrities, and car fans alike. It continues to stand out with its boxy shape, round headlights, strong ladder frame, and powerful off-road abilities.
Mercedes has also kept the G-Class fresh with special editions, such as the recent STRONGER THAN THE 1980s version, which honored an earlier model series called the W 460. To make things even more exciting for buyers, the MANUFAKTUR program allows over 20,000 paint and trim combinations, with 90% of customers customizing their G-Class.
Now, with the new electric G 580, Mercedes is proving that even a rugged off-roader like the G-Class can adapt to a sustainable, electric future — all while keeping the spirit of the original alive.
