We kicked off the journey in the Mercedes AMG G63, complete with its 4.0 liter V8 twin turbo engine, producing 585 hp plus a mild hybrid boost. On Sport Plus mode, it launches from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, or just 4.2 with the performance package. The roar of the exhaust, the aggressive acceleration, and the overall confidence on steep terrain made this the perfect warm-up for the challenges ahead.

Next, we shifted into the all electric G580 EQ Technology, and things got serious. With four electric motors delivering a combined 587 hp and 1200 Nm of torque, this G Class proved it's more than just a green badge. It tackled muddy inclines, steep descents, and twisting forest trails in complete silence. The onboard cameras and off road UI guided every movement. Despite its weight, the G580 EQ never flinched.

Mercedes stunned us with the G Turn feature, allowing the car to rotate 360 degrees on soft surfaces using torque vectoring. But even more impressive was G Steering, a system that locks the front wheels to create a tight pivoting turn, allowing the car to escape from rocky obstacles with ease. It’s mechanical brilliance that feels like magic behind the wheel.

Yes, and it’s called the Maybach G Class. We hopped into a V12 bi turbo convertible Maybach and explored a different side of Graz. This special edition G Wagon combined the finest materials with open air elegance. Designed to take luxury to another level, it reminded us that even mud and rocks can feel like first class when done Mercedes style.

Graz is where the G Class has been made since 1979. Mercedes partnered with a local company that had the tech to build extreme off road vehicles, and they’ve kept production there ever since. The very land here is called Schöckl Mountain, and every G Class is tested on it. Look closely at your G Wagon’s door and you might see a Schöckl Approved badge. It’s a reminder that what you’re driving is battle tested on one of the toughest terrains in the world.

From hill climbs at 80 degree angles to rock crawling and water fording up to 70 cm deep, the G Class tackled it all with unmatched grace. We tried all three differential locks, low range gearing, and even compared combustion to electric models in real world scenarios. Whether you’re a die-hard off road fan or a luxury lover, the Mercedes G Class delivers a once in a lifetime experience.
