Overview & Reviews

Entering its 28th year of production, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class receives minor changes. The exterior has new LED-look taillights, while the interior gets a new instrument cluster, four-spoke steering wheel and mildly reworked dashboard controls. Bi-xenon headlamps and satellite radio are standard on both models for 2007. The G500 now sports a seven-speed automatic transmission, while the G55 AMG has 24 more horses. TeleAid telephone controls are no longer offered.

• Go-anywhere capability, powerful V8 engines, surprisingly quiet on the highway.

• Heavy steering and accelerator pedal efforts, poor ergonomics, guzzles gasoline, not much cargo room.

  It owns the road - 2007 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
  By Julesh - July 15 - 5:50 am

  in 07 the G was upgraded with xenons and a 7 speed transmission. It looks like a huge car, but its actually smaller than full size suvs like the Expedition, Navigator and Escalade. It is quite tall though. You either like the look or you dont. Inside, the interior is top notch. The controls are easy to operate, but the car needs steering wheel mounted volume controls. You have to reach over a ways to get to the radio. Plenty of foot room, lots of cargo room. Get moving and the doors lock with the sound of a 12 guage cocking, the car turns very tight, handles well at low speeds, on the highway it loves rough roads. It doesnt handle too well on turns at speed, its a huge tall SUV after all

  G55 is a solid luxury SUV - 2007 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
  By CLL - August 15 - 1:13 am

  I bought this G55 for my wife. While it is not a typical squshy SUV,it is everything else and more. The power is amazing, Motor trend shows it at 0- 60MPH in 4.7 seconds agianst the cayanne S, bmx x series.It is very well built, handles very well and I feel safe with my wife and 3 children driving in it daily. The interior has superior finishes. The rear seats are great with 3 dedicated true seats, logs of leg room and a tall roof make it spacious. The trunk is very deep and easy to put strollers and groceries into. As the car breaks in, it is getting quicker in performance. I would buy it again in a minute. Once you drive it, you wont drive any other suv. No problems thus far at all.

  Update to previous review - 2007 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
  By JulesH - July 4 - 7:53 pm

  Ive had this vehicle now for 5 months. It has been in the shop several times. It is not reliable and I cannot recommend it. The steering wheel shock absorber was replaced and front end was aligned, the entire headlight bulb assembly had to be reworked to fix an electrical short (this took 3 trips to the dealer) and the passenger side door had to be realigned since it would not close properly. This was all within the 1st. week of ownership. Then the rear door lock went and now the rear window washer does not work. Car is a time bomb. The dealer is now offering to buy it back after my complaints. It was supposed to be CPOd, but problems since day 1 have been occurring.
