Top 4 Off-Road Features – 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV 

3-minute Read – For over four decades, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class has symbolized superior off-road dominance. Built to conquer the most challenging terrains, the 2025 G-Class SUV continues this tradition with cutting-edge enhancements.  

From challenging mountain climbs to deep-water fording, this SUV is engineered for adventure. At Mercedes-Benz of Arrowhead in Peoria, AZ, we’re excited to discuss the powerful off-road capabilities of the 2025 G-Class. Here are four advanced features that set it apart. 



Triple-Boosted Performance for Unstoppable Power 

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV boasts a new inline-6 engine, delivering 443 horsepower with the help of a turbocharger, an electric auxiliary compressor, and a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. This triple-boosted powertrain surpasses the previous V8 in performance and efficiency. As a result, you get quicker acceleration, up to 30% better fuel economy, and lower emissions—ensuring you have the power you need for every off-road challenge. 

Intelligent All-Wheel Drive with Locking Differentials 

An off-road vehicle needs superior traction, and the 2025 G-Class delivers with its permanent all-wheel drive system. Paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and a two-speed transfer case, it provides one of the widest gear spans in the industry. With the push of a button, drivers can engage Low Range mode and sequentially lock the center, rear, and front differentials for maximum grip.

Revolutionary Individual-Wheel Drive and G-TURN 

The new G 580 trim of the 2025 G-Class has EQ Technology with game-changing electric capabilities. With a dedicated electric motor for each wheel, the G 580 features torque vectoring, enhancing grip and agility without compromising power. This allows for superior control in extreme off-road conditions. The innovative G-TURN function also enables the electric G-Class to rotate around its axis by counter-rotating opposite-side wheels, eliminating the need for a U-turn on narrow trails. The G-STEERING function further refines maneuverability, tightening the turning radius for precise navigation. 

Adaptive Suspension and Tailored Drive Modes 

Equipped with a modern independent double-wishbone front suspension and a rigid rear axle, the 2025 G-Class balances off-road capability with on-road precision.

Standard adaptive damping ensures a smooth ride, no matter the terrain. The DYNAMIC SELECT system offers multiple drive modes: ECO, Comfort, and Sport for on-road driving, plus Trail, Rock, and Sand for tackling various off-road conditions. Additionally, the SUV’s ELECTRIC DYNAMIC SELECT fine-tunes performance with distinct modes tailored for efficiency and exploration.
