Mercedes-Benz India has just added a new powerhouse to its luxury SUV lineup, the Mercedes-Benz G 450d, priced at Rs 2.90 crore (ex-showroom, before options). This launch marks a significant milestone for the brand, as the G-Class is now available in diesel, petrol, and all-electric (EQG) versions in India.

The G 450d has arrived via the CBU (Completely Built Unit) route, and the first batch will be limited to just 50 units, making it an exclusive offering for collectors and enthusiasts.

Classic G-Class Design with Modern Tweaks

The Mercedes-Benz G 450d stays true to the timeless G-Wagen silhouette but adds subtle refinements that make it look even more premium. The front grille now sports four chrome-finished horizontal slats, complemented by new 20-inch AMG alloy wheels and refreshed bumpers at both ends.

These updates give the SUV a bolder stance without losing the rugged charm the G-Class is known for. From the outside, it’s unmistakably a G-Wagen, strong, boxy, and ready to take on anything.

Luxury Meets Tech: Inside the Mercedes G 450d Cabin

Step inside, and you’re welcomed into a world of sophistication and technology. The G 450d retains the twin 12.3-inch digital displays, one serving as the driver’s instrument cluster and the other for infotainment, both powered by the latest MBUX NTG7 interface.

The SUV also offers augmented reality navigation, a transparent bonnet view (for better off-road visibility), and premium touches like Nappa leather upholstery, configurable ambient lighting, and a 760-watt, 18-speaker Burmester audio system with Dolby Atmos.

Mercedes has equipped the SUV with a Level 2 ADAS suite, which includes active brake assist, lane-keeping assist, and a 360-degree camera system, ensuring both comfort and safety go hand in hand.

Performance That Defines Power: 3.0-Litre Diesel with Mild-Hybrid Boost

Under the hood, the G 450d packs a serious punch. It’s powered by a 3.0-litre inline-six turbo-diesel engine delivering 367 hp and 750 Nm of torque, significantly outperforming the earlier G 400d.

The engine is paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system that provides an additional 20 hp boost, ensuring seamless acceleration and improved fuel efficiency. A 9-speed automatic gearbox sends power to all four wheels through the brand’s 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system.

Mercedes claims the SUV can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.8 seconds, while the top speed is electronically limited to 210 km/h, impressive for a diesel off-roader of this size.

Built to Dominate Off-Road Adventures

The Mercedes-Benz G 450d is not just about luxury and speed, it’s built to perform when the road disappears. The SUV offers 241 mm of ground clearance, 700 mm of water-wading depth, and approach, breakover, and departure angles of 31°, 26°, and 30°, respectively.

It can even handle side inclines of up to 35°, making it one of the most capable off-roaders in its class. Whether it’s sand dunes, rocky trails, or steep slopes, the G 450d is engineered to handle it all with ease.

“A G-Class for Every Driver in India,” Says Mercedes-Benz India CEO

Commenting on the launch, Santosh Iyer, Managing Director & CEO of Mercedes-Benz India, said, “The new G 450d underlines our commitment to offer diesel, petrol, and electric powertrains for the first time in India for the G-Class. The G 450d, featuring Mercedes-Benz’s powerful and efficient diesel engine, combines performance with efficiency, reiterating the sustained customer demand for a diesel powertrain in the G-Class.”

He added that the G 450d ensures there’s now a G-Class for every type of customer in India, blending practicality, performance, and luxury into one legendary SUV.
