Mercedes-Benz G-Class
The iconic G-Class is the pinnacle of opulence and off-road capability from the brand with the silver star. And this year, it adds an electric string to its bow. The lineup now includes the G 550 powered by a turbocharged six-cylinder engine, the AMG G 63 featuring a twin-turbo V8, and finally the all-electric, quad-motor G 580 equipped with a gigantic 116kWh battery. The last one generates 579 hp along with 859 lb-ft of torque. Minor changes have also been made inside and out.
