Mercedes-Benz G-Class

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class or G-Wagen (as
it was called from 1979 to 2014 in some
areas), short for Geländewagen (or cross-
country vehicle), is a four-wheel drive full-size
luxury sport utility vehicle (SUV) produced by
Steyr-Puch (now Magna Steyr ) in Austria and
manufacturing by Mercedes-Benz . The G-
wagen is characterized by its boxy styling and
body-on-frame construction. It uses three fully
locking differentials, one of the few vehicles
to have such a feature. Despite the
introduction of an intended replacement, the
unibody crossover SUV Mercedes-Benz GL-
Class in 2006, the G-Class is still in production
and is one of the longest produced Mercedes-
Benz in Daimler's history, with a span of 32
years. Only the Unimog beats it. [1]
The G-class was developed as a military
vehicle from a suggestion by the Shah of Iran
(at the time a great shareholder) to Mercedes
[2] and offered as a civilian version in 1979. In
this role it is sometimes referred to as the
"Wolf" and LAPV Enok . The G-Class has been
sold under the Puch name in certain markets,
and the Peugeot P4 is a variant made under
license, with a Peugeot engine and different
parts.
