How we verify Mercedes-Benz G-Class performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Mercedes-Benz G-Class trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Mercedes-Benz G-Class performance FAQs

6 questions
The quickest Mercedes-Benz G-Class on record is the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G580 with EQ Technology Edition One (Night), which runs 0–60 mph in 4.1 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 12.60 seconds at 108.0 mph.
The slowest recorded Mercedes-Benz G-Class is the 2000 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G500, which takes 8.5 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 16.70 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across all 18 verified runs, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class reaches 60 mph in 5.53 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 14.11 seconds at roughly 98.2 mph.
We have verified test data for 10 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend and Motor Week. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Mercedes-Benz G-Class can do, not a single marketing claim.
