Mercedes-Benz’s first off-roader for civilian use, later called the G-Klasse, but not for the first 15 years of its life, when it was officially the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen. G-Wagen stood for Geländewagen, literally terrain vehicle, developed with Steyr-Daimler-Puch, which sold it under the Puch brand in some territories, including its own Austrian market. Related to Peugeot P4. Original W460 built till 1990, after which the Gs divided into two: W461 with less equipment for government and military usage, and W463 with greater luxury. (W462 denoted a CKD version made by Elbo of Greece.) W461 discontinued for civilian market in 2001, though it was revived in 2009; first AMG model in 1999. Updated in 1997 and 2005. Known rightly for its tough, go-anywhere nature, securing military orders, but latterly became a fashionable urban machine that had off-road capability. Plenty of luxury inside for well-to-do buyers opting for the W463s, but tech remained steadfastly 1970s, with poor ride and handling, and uncommunicative steering. Heavy to boot.
