The square Mercedes SUV is called the Mercedes G-Class. Opulent, iconic, and off-road capable, this SUV fetches a starting price of $139,000 for all-new 2022 models.
While it’s a status symbol today, the Mercedes G-Class has an interesting history. It was originally developed as a military vehicle, but based on the advice of the Shah of Iran — a massive Mercedes shareholder at the time — the vehicle was offered in a civil format starting in 1979.
Today, it’s the craze of the wealthy, famous, or those that just love a quality SUV and have the bank account to buy one. The only current model is the Mercedes G 550, which is generally considered one of the best luxury SUVs that money can buy.
