Imported from Japan in 2017, this stunning and imposing-looking 5.0-litre V8-powered G-Class G500 has received a host of upgrades including Brabus-style modifications
Few vehicles command the road quite like the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen. With its unmistakable boxy silhouette (first seen in 1979 and, despite facelifts, even today still clearly a subtle evolution of the 1970s design), imposing stance and formidable engineering, the G-Class has become one of the world's most recognisable and desirable luxury off-roaders. This striking 2004 Mercedes-Benz G500 combines that enduring appeal with a series of carefully chosen enhancements, including Brabus upgrades, to create a particularly distinctive example of Mercedes-Benz’s enduring prestige off-roader.
Finished in smart Obsidian Black with matching black leather interior and walnut veneer, the Brabus-style modifications give this excellent condition G500 a wonderfully purposeful presence, with sharper, more assertive looks. Under the bonnet lies Mercedes-Benz's celebrated and tough 4966cc V8 petrol engine in normally aspirated form, producing a heady 296bhp and substantial 336lb ft of torque. This is channelled through a five-speed automatic gearbox to the permanent four-wheel-drive system, meaning the G-Class is just as adept off-road as it is on.
This example spent the first 13 years of its life in Japan before being imported into the UK during 2017 – meaning it has benefitted from having spent its earlier life away from Britain's salted winter roads; good news for the chassis and other hidden areas. Since arriving here, the G-Wagen has received a number of improvements, in addition to its Brabus cosmetics. Reverse parking sensors were fitted in 2018, while a premium lowering kit was professionally installed by an independent Mercedes-Benz specialist in Gateshead during 2020. It currently has around just 85,000 miles showing on its clock. There’s an extensive UK service history file accompanying the G-Wagen, documenting maintenance and upkeep since its arrival. Among the most recent task undertaken is an air-conditioning refresh.
This is a compelling opportunity to acquire a distinctive V8-powered G-Wagen boasting all the Brabus style and presence but in a more manageable package. For an enthusiast seeking something more individualistic and charismatic than an ordinary premium SUV, with genuine go-anywhere credentials, this G-Wagen has so much to recommend it.
