The 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class brings the first major change-up to the luxury SUV in nearly forty years. Though the design is new, tradition is still honored: you might not notice immediately the subtle ways Mercedes-Benz has improved nearly every aspect of this vehicle. There’s still some carry-overs in honor of heritage- door handles, spare-tire cover, sun visors, headlight-washer nozzles, and a bracket under the hood are all the same- but outside of this, the G-Class has been fully redesigned.

The look of the 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class has been optimized subtly but effectively for a modern yet timeless feel. For example, careful observers will find softer edges and thicker roof pillars. Cutting-edge tech, such as LED Intelligent Light System headlamps that adapt to changing circumstances, emphasize the thoroughly modern top-level experience this vehicle delivers. Let’s take a look at some of the biggest highlights of the G-Class’s 2019 redesign.
