Under the hood, the G 550 sports an advanced V8 biturbo engine that generates 416 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque from a compact 4.0 liters of displacement. The engine is the definition of raw power, able to propel the G 550 from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.9 seconds. The V8 engine features a “hot inside V” turbo layout, patented low-friction NANOSLIDE® cylinder walls, and an ECO Start/Stop system.
The G-Class comes standard with permanent all-wheel drive, so power is continually being sent to all four wheels. The 4-wheel Electronic Traction System (4-ETS®) instantly sends torque to the wheels that can use it best to ensure confidence and control on snowy and wet roads. Off-road, the system’s locking differentials help the G-Class take on muddy, loose, or uneven terrain.
Timeless meets fearless in the new G 550 4×4-squared raises every measure of G-Class capability. 22″ wheels and gear-drive portal axles create over 17″ of ground clearance, and dual spring-struts and 10″ of added track conquer extreme terrain. While the G 550 4×4 squared works hard to get you there, you can enjoy its lavish cabin filled with upscale amenities.
