Mercedes-Benz G-Class
The G-Class is the undisputed king of all Mercedes-Benz SUVs and a true icon that never seems to age. In Canada, buyers have a choice of two models including the G 550 and AMG G 63. In both cases, a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine lies under the hood, delivering 416 and 577 horsepower, respectively. Off-road performance is impressive, too. As for fuel economy, well, who cares?
