Mercedes G Class

The G-Class, often called the G‑Wagen, is a blocky icon that blends unapologetic off-road prowess with a plush, modern cabin, announcing your arrival before you even step out. It’s equally at home crawling over rocks or cruising city streets, and owning one feels like adopting a very expensive, very capable personality.

Land Rover Discovery

The Land Rover Discovery blends genuine off-road prowess with grown-up luxury, making it a smart choice for buyers who want weekend adventure and weekday refinement in one package. It feels suitably rugged when the road ends and wonderfully civilized when the tarmac begins — a practical family hauler that also enjoys getting a little dirty.
