Depreciation Insights
Understanding Mercedes-Benz G Class depreciation is essential for buyers and collectors alike. The G Class, with its rugged heritage, contracts values differently than conventional luxury sedans.
- First year: typically loses 15–20% of its value.
- Years 2–5: average annual depreciation slows to 6–9% as the vehicle gains desirable “classic” status.
- Beyond year 5: if maintained carefully, depreciation may stabilize around 3–5% annually, particularly for models that adopt limited‑edition badges or early restorations.
Historically, classic G 63s (manufactured 2009–2018) have seen a more robust appreciation after the initial drop, with some highly modified or low‑mileage examples rising 10–15% over the last five years. However, local taxation, import duties, and regional demand can influence the depreciation curve, so prices varies by market/condition.
Comparison Context
When weighing the Mercedes-Benz G Class price against other luxury off‑roaders, several peers emerge as significant benchmarks:
- Land Rover Defender 110 2019‑2023 – comparable raw off‑road credentials, but the Defender’s interior lags behind G Class’s refined cabin luxuries.
- Range Rover Sport (2020‑2023) – the Sport’s more powerful engine range undercuts the G Class’s single‑cylick twin‑turbo in power, yet commands premium pricing due to prestige.
- Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG (2020‑2023) – direct sibling that represents the higher‑tier market; price points often sit 30–50% above the base G 72 models.
For collectors, the used Mercedes-Benz G Class price of early 1970s models can surpass contemporary rankings due to their rarity and authenticity, especially if
