Some G-Class models make a statement through size and power.
This one makes it through proportion.
A genuine short-wheelbase W463 finished in deep metallic green, with left-hand drive, an automatic transmission and the classic character that made the original G-Class so distinctive.
The SWB configuration gives the G320 a completely different presence from the familiar long-wheelbase trucks.
Shorter.
Better proportioned.
More agile away from the road.
And considerably more difficult to find.
Under the bonnet is Mercedes-Benz’s 3.2-litre inline-six petrol engine, an engine valued for its smooth delivery and mechanical simplicity, paired with an automatic transmission and the G-Class permanent four-wheel-drive system.
Most importantly, it retains the defining W463 hardware:
Three independently selectable differential locks, centre, rear and front.
This is not an SUV designed to resemble an off-road vehicle.
It is a serious off-road platform refined with leather, wood trim, air conditioning and the quality expected from a 1990s Mercedes-Benz.
