For the 13th time in succession readers of the German "Off Road" magazine have voted the Mercedes-Benz Unimog the best off-road vehicle of the year in the "special-purpose vehicles" category. The "Off-Road Vehicle of the Year" poll had a total of twelve categories. More than 20 000 votes were cast, with 135 vehicles in the running. The Unimog took first place in the special-purpose vehicles category with a phenomenal 31.4 percent of readers' votes.

Whether it's in the Sahara Desert, in the River Niger or on the Olumo Rock, there are few challenges that the Mercedes-Benz Unimog would not be capable of taking on.

The extreme off-road model series enjoys particular popularity worldwide as an expedition vehicle. Axle articulation of up to 30 degrees, portal axles with ground clearance of up to 460 mm and gradeability of 45 degrees are hallmarks of these Unimog models with the type designations U 4023 and U 5023. Further features include a maximum fording depth of 1.20 m and a lateral inclination angle of up to 38 degrees. Driving in extreme situations with the all-wheel drive system engaged is supported by the selectable differential locks and the tyre pressure control system.

The high-torque OM 934 LA Euro VI engine, a four-cylinder with 5.1 l displacement, 230 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque, ensures reliability on the move. Eight forward and six reverse gears are available, and as an option also an off-road gear group for off-road applications in the 2.5 - 35 km/h speed range.

Available alongside this extreme off-road Unimog is the U 216 to U 530 implement carrier model series frequently seen in municipal applications. It is also equipped with cutting-edge Euro VI engines with outputs of up to 220 kW (299 hp).

When it comes to maintenance, diagnostics or repair, the Unimog also has all bases covered. Expert authorised Unimog dealers look after the vehicle at more than 650 service outlets in over 130 countries.

Work hard bro, I said the same thing but you need to keep saving and waiting until you will use the money and buy a Japanese to be managing for the mean time

It does not have to be the latest or most expensive benz, I'd be happy to buy older series benzes.......
Btw there are other reputable german machines out there e.g the 1st and 2nd gen Opel omega, Audi is there, the MK2 G60 Syncro, GTI is a nice too. I'd choose these old Germans over any Japanese car out there no matter how old they are its way better than the average japanese out there

I neva posted I wanted to buy a V12 Amg for less than 5mil oga.........
Besides your avalon weighs 1,615–1,660 kg and has a rated output of 208bhp vs Omega Evolution 500 weighs 1,150 kg and has a rated output of 230bhp. Then do the maths

Opel is no German , it is as British as the queen. It's new generation is Vauxhall.
