On the back of picking up the lucrative Australian Defence Force supply contract, Mercedes-Benz has released a single-cab variant of its well-regarded G-Class 4X4. It’s got an impressive specs list, so let’s get to it:
4,495kg GVM
2,085kg payload
245mm ground clearance
38° approach, 35° departure and 22° rampover angles
650mm wading depth
Full-time 4WD
2,210kg braked towing limit
Locking front, rear and centre differentials
3-litre V6 turbo-diesel
400Nm @
1,600-2,000 rpm
135kW @ 3,800 rpm
Price: $119,000
It’s called the Professional, and it’s 100% about practicality – especially when you compare it to the luxury G-Class wagons. We love the massive payload, something only Iveco’s Daily could compare with for sheer numbers. It’s very expensive as well… probably pushing it beyond the realms of your average buyer. It’s a 100% serious 4X4 though, with locking diffs, live axles, barwork and other accessories straight off the showroom floor.
