Inside the luxury Mercedes G-Wagon driven by Siya Kolisi
The Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon, also known as the G-Class, is considered one of the world’s most recognisable luxury SUVs.
According to Mercedes-Benz pricing information, brand-new G-Wagons range from around US$143,000 (about R2.6 million) to more than US$225,000 (about R4.1 million), depending on the model and optional extras.
In South Africa, newer Mercedes-AMG G63 models can cost between R3 million and R5 million, depending on the specifications.
The G-Class was originally developed as a military vehicle in the late 1970s before becoming a luxury status symbol popular among celebrities, athletes and influencers around the world.
Mercedes-Benz reached a major milestone in April 2023 after producing more than 500,000 G-Wagons globally.
