Mercedes-Benz has drawn a line around its smaller G-Class, and it is a wide one. Mercedes-AMG CEO Stefan Weckbach said this week that the compact off-roader will not be chasing the same buyer as the original.
"We will make sure that the little G-Class will target a different segment," Weckbach said. Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Källenius said in an interview published in October 2024 that the smaller truck should arrive in less than 24 months, and he repeated that 24-month timing again in a new interview six days ago. That points to an expected debut around 2028.
