Engine Displacement Increased from 5.0 to 5.5 Liters

With roots as a military vehicle for NATO forces, the G-Class, first unveiled in 1979, has continuously evolved while retaining its fundamental styling and robust, military-spec body. Its engines, transmissions, and functional equipment have been updated to meet contemporary standards.

The current model sees the engine upgraded from 5.0 to a 5.5-liter V8 unit. This new engine delivers a maximum output of 388 ps, a gain of 92 ps over the previous version. Consequently, the model name has been changed from G500 Long to G550 Long.

The exterior has been refreshed with redesigned front grilles and alloy wheels, giving the vehicle a renewed image.

In terms of equipment, the adoption of the COMAND system, which integrates HDD navigation, terrestrial digital broadcasting (12-segment) compatible TV, and a music register for recording CDs, has significantly enhanced usability.

The price for the "G 550 Long" is 13.27 million yen, and the "G 550 AMG Long" is 17.40 million yen.

BRAND HISTORY
When tracing the history of automobiles, we arrive at two German pioneers: Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz. It is hardly necessary to explain that these two men independently created gasoline-powered automobiles between 1885 and 1886, laying the foundation for the automotive society. The companies they founded were at times rivals, but to overcome the post-World War I recession, they joined forces, and Daimler-Benz AG was established through their merger in 1926.

The name "Mercedes," given to the products, originated when Emil Jellinek, a customer of Daimler's, named the cars after his eldest daughter in exchange for taking over sales outside of Germany. The trademark was registered by Daimler in 1902.

Thus, Mercedes and Mercedes-Benz have consistently led the way in automotive development, actively introducing cutting-edge technologies such as the safety passenger cell, airbags, ESP (Electronic Stability Program), and Night View.
