What’s The Difference Between Mercedes Benz G63 And G55

Mercedes Benz has a long history of producing elegant, high-quality, and great performance vehicles. The Mercedes Benz G-class is one of the best-selling lines of vehicles sold by the automobile giant since 1979. The G-class also called G-Wagen (short for Geländewagen, meaning “terrain vehicle”), mid-size four-wheel drive luxury SUV manufactured by Magna Steyr (formerly Steyr-Daimler-Puch) in Graz, Austria, and sold by Mercedes-Benz.

The characteristic boxy and body-on-frame construction of the G-Wagen has been a major attractive force that has made it a must-buy car by many. Although initially made to serve military purposes, the G-Wagen became a civilian vehicle in 1979, and ever since production has multiplied. Various models and trims have been made of the G-class series with luxurious features and superb performance. Today’s article on carmart.ng compares and tells the differences between two landmark models of the G-Wagen series; The Mercedes Benz G63 and Mercedes Benz G55.
