It's the one that started it all. This rugged, hand-assembled 4-wheel-drive vehicle is an icon. With 7-speed transmission hitched to a
stalwart V-8 engine and three locking differentials for off-road handling that's as fun as it is commanding.
A redesigned instrument panel, a heated wood/leather steering wheel, SIRIUS Satellite Radio, and a Rear View Camera to make
backing up a cinch are among its new appointments.
Heated front and rear seats made from premium leather immerse you in luxury. For drivers who insist on legendary, the G-Class is
the very real answer.
