Looking for the 2027 G-Class? Orders are open. See what’s new on the 2027 G-Wagon.

Quick answer: The 2026 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the “G-Wagon,” comes in three versions: the G 550 with a mild-hybrid inline-six, the Mercedes-AMG® G 63with a handcrafted mild-hybrid V8, and the all-electric G 580 with EQ Technology. All three keep the G’s boxy shape, three locking differentials and serious off-road ability. For 2026, Mercedes-Benz added more paint, seat belt, Night Package and brake caliper choices. You can buy one from stock or place a factory order to build it exactly your way.

The 2026 G-Class lineup

G 550

The G 550 uses a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six with mild-hybrid assistance, about 443 horsepower. It is the most refined way to own a G, with the full luxury cabin and off-road hardware.

Mercedes-AMG® G 63

The AMG® G 63 is powered by a handcrafted 4.0-liter V8 biturbo with mild-hybrid assistance, rated at about 577 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque, paired with the AMG® 9-speed transmission. It is the G for drivers who want the sound and the speed. See all AMG® inventory.

G 580 with EQ Technology

The electric G has four individually controlled electric motors with about 579 horsepower and 859 lb-ft of torque. Independent motor control enables G-TURN, which can spin the vehicle in place on loose surfaces off-road. It is the quietest and quickest-responding G ever.

What’s new for 2026

  • Additional paint colors, including more MANUFAKTUR options
  • Additional seat belt colors
  • Expanded Night Package choices
  • Additional brake caliper colors

Every 2026 G includes the latest MBUX system with dual 12.3-inch screens and wireless smartphone integration, plus driver assistance features like adaptive cruise control, active lane keeping, emergency braking and a 360-degree camera.

Built to go anywhere

Under the luxury, the G is still a true off-roader: all-wheel drive with a low-range gearbox, three locking differentials and off-road driving modes. Few luxury SUVs can follow it down a trail.
