Mercedes-Benz India has introduced the all-new G 450d, marking a major milestone for the legendary G-Class as it becomes available in diesel, petrol, and electric powertrains for the first time in the country. This expansion underscores the brand’s commitment to offering diverse choices to its discerning customers while preserving the unmistakable character of the G-Class.
“The new G 450d underlines our commitment to offer diesel, petrol, and electric powertrain for the first time in India to the G-Class — the longest-running nameplate in the automotive industry. The G 450d combines performance with efficiency, reiterating the sustained customer demand for a diesel powertrain in the G-Class,”
said Santosh Iyer, Managing Director & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India.
Power Meets Efficiency
At the heart of the G 450d is a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder diesel engine, producing 270 kW (367 hp) and 750 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with 48V mild-hybrid technology, offering an additional 15 kW of electric boost for improved responsiveness and efficiency. Accelerating from 0–100 km/h in just 5.8 seconds, the SUV delivers both commanding off-road strength and refined on-road performance.
The G 450d’s robust character is backed by Mercedes-Benz’s proven ladder-frame construction, three mechanical differential locks, and independent double-wishbone front suspension with a rigid rear axle. It offers impressive off-road credentials, including up to 100% gradeability, 241 mm ground clearance, and a 70 cm fording depth.
Design and Comfort: Iconic Yet Evolved
Retaining its timeless silhouette, the G 450d receives subtle design updates such as a new bumper with four vertical louvers, refreshed A-pillar cladding, and a roof-edge spoiler lip to enhance aerodynamics and acoustic comfort.
Inside, luxury takes center stage with two-tone Nappa leather upholstery, Burmester 3D Surround Sound with Dolby Atmos, and customizable ambient lighting. The cabin’s standout feature is the new off-road cockpit, giving drivers quick access to all terrain-related functions and data — including steering angle, compass, tire pressure, and the innovative ‘Transparent Hood’ view.
Technology and Infotainment
The SUV debuts the latest MBUX NTG7 infotainment system featuring twin 12.3-inch displays, Augmented Reality Navigation, and wireless Android Auto® and Apple CarPlay™ connectivity. The system ensures a seamless and intuitive digital experience, blending cutting-edge technology with traditional G-Class practicality.
Customization Through MANUFAKTUR
The MANUFAKTUR program offers buyers nearly limitless personalization options, including exclusive paint finishes, leather trims, stitching accents, and custom spare wheel rings. Each vehicle is meticulously crafted, combining artistry with engineering precision — reaffirming the G-Class’s place as a bespoke luxury icon.
Safety and Comfort
Equipped with the Technology Package, the G 450d integrates advanced driver assistance features such as Active Brake Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, and a 360° camera system. Enhanced acoustic insulation ensures a serene cabin experience even on rugged terrain, maintaining the G-Class’s hallmark balance of capability and comfort.
Exclusive Launch and Pricing
Mercedes-Benz has priced the G 450d at ₹2.90 crore (ex-showroom, India). The first allocation will include only 50 exclusive units, reserved for select customers.
The G-Tribe Escapade: A Luxury SUV Experience
Inspired by the G-Class spirit, Mercedes-Benz India will soon launch ‘G-Tribe Escapades’, an exclusive luxury SUV adventure experience for select customers. The inaugural event — G-Tribe Bhutan Escapade —, in collaboration with Cougar Motorsport, will take participants from India to Thimphu, Punakha, and Paro, exploring the Himalayan terrains in vehicles such as the AMG G 63, G 580, EQS SUVs, and GLE Coupe.
This immersive journey blends the thrill of adventure, the heritage of the G-Class, and the luxury of Mercedes-Benz, offering customers an unforgettable drive experience.
The Legacy Continues
Since its debut in 1979, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class has evolved from a rugged off-roader to a global symbol of luxury and performance. With the introduction of the G 450d, Mercedes-Benz reinforces its legacy of craftsmanship, innovation, and off-road dominance — ensuring there’s now a G-Class for every kind of customer in India.
