New 2025 G -Wagon order book now open

Mercedes-Benz has confirmed that orders are now being taken for their all-new 2025 
edition G-Class first models of which are now available to customers in Ireland. Hard 
to believe that it is 45 years since the first, original ‘Geländewagen’ was launched in 
1979, since then it has effectively kept its profiler and appearance, as well as build 
what can easily be described as a cult following. 
 
Solidly within the premier league of all-terrain vehicles, G-Class is renowned for its 
deluxe features and exceptional off-road performance. Conventional petrol and 
diesel-powered units will sit alongside an all-electric EV version model, with mild 
hybrid choices in the model mix. All versions come in three distinct lines: Exclusive, 
Superior and sporty AMG line styling. 
  
Visually, its most notable outer changes include redesigned front and rear bumpers, 
and new grille with ‘star’ and four horizontal louvres instead of the previous three. 
Other features to watch for include its tried-and-tested ladder-frame construction. 
Refinements include new A-pillar cladding, a spoiler lip on the roof edge, and new 
insulation materials contribute to improved aerodynamics and increased acoustic 
comfort.  
 
A fully remodelled interior adds to the appeal it will have for a new, younger 
generation of owners, as will the availability of an almost limitless range of 
customisation options. 
 
Inside, occupants experience a greater level of luxury and comfort, and a greater 
feeling of safety and protection thanks to its somewhat elevated ride-height. Brightly 
lit, its interior appointments include stitched leather seats and trim with ash and 
walnut insets. 
 
MBUX infotainment, tech and driver information displays are controlled via a touch 
pad interface positioned on the central console close to the driver’s hand. Heating 
and air conditioning can be operated by finger-touch buttons that are easy-to-reach, 
easy to read, and easy-to-operate. 
 
Front and rear headroom is generous – even for the taller-than-average rear seat 
occupant. Boot space is easily accessed through a full-height, full-width, side- 
opening rear door fixed to which is a spare wheel housed within a fully encased, 
colour-matched metal cover. 
 
As G-Class fans will know, part of its attraction is the fact that it doesn’t pretend to be 
what it is not.  Everything about it is focused on giving owners all that they might 
expect of it and by doing it well – whether on smooth city and suburban streets or on 
rough and tumble cross country tracks. 
 
Admired by many, other appealing features of G-Class ownership is its 
imperviousness to changing trends and design fads, and the probability that – like an 
old violin – it will retain its value over time. Current prices begin from €166,280 for 
the G 580 with EQ technology with a rated output of 432 kW / 587 hp.
