Mercedes-Benz has partnered with stylist Nigo in a limited edition G-Class celebrating the 45th anniversary of the iconic SUV.
Limited to only 20 units worldwideThe G-Class Past II Future features two-tone green and gray exterior paint, with blacked-out exterior trim and wheels. Inside, the limited edition has plaid upholstery referencing vintage G-Class models. The color scheme echoes a unique restoration of a 1990s G-Class convertible, also designed by Nigo.

The Past II Future editions can be ordered in diesel G 450d and gasoline G 550 configurations. Of the two, only the G 550 is sold in the US. Downsizing from the previous twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 for 2025, it uses a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 assisted by a mild-hybrid system and produces 443 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque.
Mercedes is not specifically discussing U.S. availability or pricing, but said all 20 Past II Future editions will be delivered to customers around the world in April 2025. Note that the G 550 already costs $148,250 in the USA before the destination.

In addition to the G 550’s downsized engine, the G-Class receives a few other upgrades for model year 2025. Some changes have been made to the exterior styling and interior layout, and the AMG G 63 performance model adds an active anti-roll system while retaining its V-8. Below is essentially the same platform that debuted in the 2019 model year.
The 2025 G-Class lineup also includes a fully electric version for the first time. Officially identified as G 580 with EQ technology, it has a quad-motor powertrain and one tank spin trick calculated to win over customers skeptical about the wisdom of electrifying such an old SUV.
