Power and Performance

A turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder with EQ Boost® mild hybrid technology generates 443 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque in the 2026 Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV. The result is confident acceleration with a 0–60 mph time of 5.3 seconds, channeled through a nine-speed automatic transmission that delivers smooth, assertive shifts.

Permanent 4MATIC® all-wheel drive includes a two-speed transfer case and three sequentially lockable differentials, giving this new Mercedes-Benz SUV maximum adaptability over loose gravel, slick pavement, or uneven ground. This configuration maintains traction by distributing torque precisely where it’s needed, keeping you in control under demanding conditions.

Technology Features

The cabin integrates rugged structure with intelligent, responsive systems. The Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX®) features dual high-resolution displays, natural-language voice recognition, and seamless control over navigation, media, and vehicle settings.

Other key technology include:

  • Off-road cockpit readouts with real-time pitch, roll, altitude, and steering angle
  • Bluetooth® connectivity with hands-free access*
  • Steering wheel touch controls for streamlined interactions
