The Mercedes-Benz G-Class has constantly been about making a statement, and the brand-new 2017 Mercedes-Benz G550 4×42 makes a huge one with its cost. Rate for the high-riding high-end 4×4 is an incredible $225,925. This tops the present heady price of the AMG G65 V-12 design that opts for $221,325, consisting of $925 destination. Clearly, the story with the 4×42 is the addition of portal axles motivated by the Unimog off-road utility truck.

The portal axles imbue the 4×42 with considerably enhanced off-road capabilities through enhanced technique and departure angles, nearly doubling the breakover angle from 24 to 47.4 degrees and raising the ground clearance from 9.3 to 17.2 inches. Like all G-Wagens, the 4×42 comes with front, back, and center locking differentials and low-range 4×4.

While not the most costly SUV sold in the U.S., the G550 4×42 is in rarified business. The Bentley Bentayga begins at $231,825, that includes a stiff $2,725 destination charge. The long-wheelbase Range Rover SVAutobiography opts for $200,490, including $995 location. Is the high-riding G-Wagen worth as much as a home in many parts of the nation? Possibly not, however if somebody were to offer us one without any strings connected, we wouldn’t turn it down.
