Mercedes-Benz has shown us how to drive the latest version of its iconic military-grade G-wagon through the water and mud without stalling the 2.5 tonnes boxy Sports Utility Vehicle.

The all-new 2019 Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen a.k.a G-wagon, which you can now buy from dealers in Nigeria, marks the rebirth of an iconic off-roader that has been around since 1979.

Since its introduction 40 years ago, over 300,000 G-Wagons have left the factory. The boxy off-roader had its best sales year ever in 2018 by selling 22,000 units, with the majority going to the U.S and Germany.



Despite the awesome features of Mercedes-Benz G550, more than half of the buyers still prefer to go for the pricier AMG version of the G-Glass from the performance division of Mercedes-Benz.

Let’s have a look at the side-by-side differences between the 2019 Mercedes-Benz G550 (black) and the more powerful and luxurious lookalike counterpart, Mercedes-AMG G63 (white).





Both SUVs come with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and infotainment display that can be controlled by the thumb slider pads on the steering.
