Each G-Class variations are anticipated to debut later this yr as 2023 fashions, and prototypes for each are additionally featured within the video under.
Mercedes can be out testing a high-riding 4×4 Squared choice for the second-generation G-Class, which we’ll possible see launched along with this replace.
