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.

Reliable — now with nearly 400,000 km on the Model S, I’ve experienced few to no problems. Still using free Supercharging, it delivers a dependable, luxurious driving experience. Average consumption about 16 kWh/100 km.
