Mercedes-Benz has rolled out the G500 Final Edition for the SUV's 30th anniversary. As its name suggests, it will be the last iteration of the G500 to feature the twin-turbocharged V8 engine. The powertrain is set to be replaced by a smaller 6-cylinder motor for the 2024 model year. Mercedes-Benz will manufacture 1500 units of the SUV from September till March 2024, each costing a hefty EUR 196,350 (Rs 1.76 crore).

The G500 Final Edition will be available in three colour options-obsidian black, opalith white magno and olive magno, each reserved for 500 units. The SUV is fitted with 20-inch AMG light-alloy wheels in a 5-twin-spoke design, which will be painted in the body colour if the customer opts for the MANUFAKTUR olive magno paint scheme. For the other two-colour options, the wheels will be painted black. It also features “Final Edition” lettering around different areas of its exterior and interior along with a logo projector on its exterior mirror that displays the “STRONGER THAN TIME” lettering on the asphalt. Inside, the special edition SUV gets a Burmester surround sound system, the Active Multicontour Seat Package Plus and the seats in two-tone MANUFAKTUR Nappa leather.

Coming to the powertrain, the twin-turbo 4.0 litre V8 engine continues to make 412 bhp and 610 Nm of torque. The manufacturer has previously stated that while the ICE version of the G-class will still stay in production, it will also come out with a fully electric version of the SUV which will likely go on sale in 2024 in international markets and be built on the same platform.
