Depreciation Insights: How Quickly the G Class Loses Value
The Mercedes‑Benz G Class depreciation curve follows a predictable pattern: a sizable hit in the first year, followed by a gradual slowdown. Understanding these numbers helps you estimate the used Mercedes‑Benz G Class price you might encounter in the market.
- Year 1 – Roughly 15‑20 % of the original price. A 2017 G Class is still subject to this sharp bleed as the brand introduces newer tech and the stainless steel body gains a price premium.
- Year 2‑3 – 10‑12 % per year, largely due to maintenance costs outweighing the depreciation rate effect. Consider that the G Class’s high service costs often accelerate the perceived “hit” on resale value.
- Year 4‑8 – 6‑8 % annually, as the vehicle’s robust construction guarantees reliability and icing on brand reputation. During this period, the G Class may actually fetch a higher price than other luxury SUVs of similar age if the model includes rare options.
Example Estimation: A 2017 Mercedes‑Benz G Class new price of €100,000 might reduce to approximately €70,000 by its third year of ownership and around €50,000 after five years—though the exact figure depends heavily on mileage, condition, and geographic region.
Comparative Context: How Does the 2017 G Class Stack Up?
When you consider its current Mercedes‑Benz G Class 2017 price, the G Class remains harder to undercut thanks to its niche appeal. For comparison:
- Porsche Cayenne – Modern, versatile, but less iconic for heavy‑off‑road use. Its depreciation curve is flatter, often retaining 55–60 % value after five years.
- Land Rover Defender – Offers comparable ruggedness but typically fires a higher mileage depreciation rate, especially before 2020 updates.
- Audi Q7 – Prestige without the “G” factor; fewer wars of durability and thus a stronger long‑term resale value.
- Range Rover Vogue – Higher initial price but fares well in luxury repositioning, keeping closer to 60 % after five years.
Industry trends suggest the G Class has a healthier Mercedes-Benz G Class depreciation curve for bundling luxury with utility, making it a fierce competitor for buyers prioritizing status plus off‑road prowess.
