5 reasons to buy the 2022 Mercedes-Benz G550
1. Go-anywhere capability
Though the 2022 Mercedes-Benz G550 is a luxury vehicle, its upright stance makes it hard to forget its inherent off-road prowess. It has a 10.6-inch ground clearance and can ford water surpassing two feet in depth. In addition to the G-mode, which will help even out major bumps in the road, the G550 comes standard with all-wheel drive, low-range gear reduction, and three 100% differential locks (center, rear, and front).
2. Unique design
The exterior of the iconic G-Wagen hasn't changed significantly since it first appeared on the scene in 1979. Sure, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz G550 has LED lights and modern tech, but the militaristic boxy design is unmistakable. The G-Wagen has a lot of blingy options, so be sure to look for AMG exterior styling, 20-inch wheels, and black accents that come with the Night Package.
3. Luxurious appointments
While the exterior of the 2022 Mercedes-Benz G550 hearkens back to the '70s, the interior is incredibly modern. The 12.3-inch gauge cluster and 12.3-inch infotainment screen flow together in a single piece of glass and combined with the 64-color ambient lighting system, you have a very tech-forward interface. The heated leather seats are standard, as are the wood-grain accent pieces. Plus, the high-end finishings and analog clock add a touch of class to this inherently rugged vehicle. Want even more luxury? Look for available features such as massaging seats, heated steering wheel, Nappa leather upholstery, sueded headliner, and front ventilated seats.
4. Keep back-seat passengers happy
If you're planning to use the 2022 Mercedes-Benz G550 as a family vehicle, there are several standard and available features to keep rear occupants happy. Beginning with the standard tri-zone climate control and heated seats, back-seat passengers can adjust their own temperatures. If you want to level up, keep an eye out for the available rear-seat entertainment system with 10-inch screens on the back of the front seat headrests and internet capability.
5. A glorious V8
In a time where V8 engines are going the way of the Dodo, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz G550 celebrates its biturbo V8. Delivering 416 hp, this engine has a definite bark and satisfying rumble that will feed your need for power. Given its boxy shape, you might think the G-Wagen would lumber up to 60 mph. Instead, it delivers an impressive 5.6-second zero-to-60-mph time.
