2010 Mercedes Benz G Class at Mercedes updates G Class for 2010

The iconic Mercedes Benz G-Class is simply the best car they have ever built because it is being made for 30 years now with almost exactly the same shape as the very first model! Throughout the years Mercedes has garnished the Glandewagen with more power and luxury but the original recipe is still intact. It’s the coolest car in the world and it will be forever!

For the new year though, as the car is celebrating its 30th birthday, the Germans gave it some interior upgrades and new paitjobs. The car is improved ergonomically with new specially designed seats while there are fabric and leather upholstery and new wood trimmings available for you to chose. It also gest an improved multimedia system with USB, iPod and AUX sockets.

As for the exterior there are two new paintjobs, palladium silver metallic’ and ‘designo platinum magno’ making the good old G look better than ever. However I still believe the G-wagen looks best in black with tinted windows! The powertrain for 2010 Mercedes Benz G-class remains the same as the current range, G350 CDI, G500 (which is actually 5.5 liter) , and best of the lot G55 AMG Supercharged. These engines are still good enough to power the car for another decade. Mercedes recently announced that in the Middle East only, sales of the G-wagen has gone up by 139 percent.
