India’s largest luxury car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz has further bolstered its strong SUV portfolio by adding the power of diesel to its iconic, unrivalled legend – The G-Class. On its 40th birthday, the stronger than time G-Class debuts its first-ever diesel variant in the country the G 350 d.

The iconic SUV is priced from INR 1.5 Crore (ex-showroom India).
The STAR EASE service package for G 350 d starts at INR 79,500 for 2 years.
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a cult performance off-roader, which has set a high benchmark for many vehicles. With the introduction of the new G 350 d, the off-roader becomes the most efficient “G” ever.
The G 350 d is powered by the BS-VI compliant OM 656, 6-cylinder, 2925 cc diesel engine which produces 286 hp at 1200-3200 rpm and 600 Nm at 2500-3500 rpm. The 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission in the G 350 d has a model-specific software application to achieve very short shift times. This SUV can reach from 0-100 km/h in just 7.4 seconds and the luxury car can achieve a top speed of 199 km/h.
The G-Class is one of the top models among luxury off-road vehicles in the Indian market today. It is not the only passenger car model series with the longest production run in the history of Mercedes-Benz, but also the forefather of all SUVs bearing the three-pointed star.
A torsional rigid ladder-type frame of high-strength steel and a mounted body of composite construction provides the basis for the enormous off-road capabilities of the new G 350 d. This design is considerably more robust and suitable for off-road operations than a unibody construction. The body shell consists of various grades of steel while the wings, bonnet and doors are made of aluminium.
The new transfer case is flange-mounted directly to the 9G-TRONIC transmission. It is designed to send 40% of the drive torque to the front axle and 60% to the rear axle. This configuration particularly benefits the handling characteristics on the road.
The permanent all-wheel drive ensures maximum traction. The low-range off-road reduction gear considerably increases torque at the drive wheels, which makes very difficult terrain negotiable.
Customers of the G-Class can create over a million possible combinations combining the series and G maufaktur options, resulting in a G-Class, which could be the only one of its kind. The G-Class’ individuality is reflected in the G manufaktur philosophy.
The G manufaktur uses only the finest materials: care, craftsmanship and time. The design gene is particularly prominent in the DNA of the G-Class. Equipment varies exclusively for the new G-Class, in which everything is perfectly matched and tailored to the highest level.
The G 350 d comes with special Nappa Leather. Be it the exterior or interior, many details of the new G-Class are hand-crafted. A total of at least 100 hours is required to build the G-Class. Experienced artisans pay attention to every detail when making the seats. The result is highly exclusive collector’s items fashioned by the hands of craft masters.
