Mercedes-Benz has taken the wraps off its latest powerhouse — the Mercedes-Benz G 450d, launched in India at a starting price of Rs 2.90 crore (ex-showroom). With this new model, the G-Class lineup in India now includes diesel, petrol, and all-electric options, giving buyers more choice than ever before.
The G 450d brings a perfect balance of rugged performance, advanced technology, and timeless design — all wrapped in the legendary G-Class package.
Power
Under the hood, the Mercedes-Benz G 450d packs a 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder diesel engine combined with a 48V mild-hybrid system and an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG). This setup delivers an impressive 270 kW (367 hp) of power and 750 Nm of torque. The ISG adds an extra 15 kW boost at lower revs, ensuring smooth and powerful acceleration.
The G 450d sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.8 seconds, with a top speed of 210 km/h. Despite its size and weight, this SUV handles acceleration with sports car-like confidence.

Design
The Mercedes-Benz G 450d retains the classic G-Class silhouette — boxy, bold, and unmistakably premium. Subtle changes enhance its modern appeal, such as the new radiator grille featuring four horizontal louvers instead of three, and reworked front and rear bumpers that add a refined edge to its muscular stance.
The SUV rides on stylish 20-inch AMG alloy wheels finished in high-gloss black, perfectly complementing its tough yet sophisticated character. The ladder-frame construction remains intact, preserving the vehicle’s signature durability and off-road prowess.
Off-Road
Built for the toughest terrains, the G 450d continues the legacy of exceptional off-road performance. It features three mechanical differential locks, adaptive adjustable damping, and a rigid rear axle, ensuring maximum traction even on extreme surfaces.
Its high ground clearance and long-travel suspension make it a true go-anywhere SUV. Whether it’s a rocky mountain path or a sandy desert trail, the G 450d offers complete confidence behind the wheel. The double-wishbone independent front suspension and adaptive damping enhance stability and comfort, making it equally capable off-road and on highways.
Interior
Inside, the G 450d oozes luxury and sophistication. The cabin follows an AMG Line interior theme, with Nappa leather upholstery, metal structure trim, and customizable ambient lighting, including illumination for the air vents — a small detail that adds a huge sense of occasion.
Sound quality reaches new heights with the Burmester 3D Surround Sound System, featuring 18 speakers, 760W output, and Dolby Atmos for immersive audio. Whether you’re navigating a city street or an off-road trail, the sound experience is phenomenal.
