MB World Market Watch: Mercedes 4×4 Squared Is Ultimate Off-road Ride

By -

Mercedes G550 4x4 Squared

When you need something luxurious that does it all, pick the finest 4×4 Mercedes has ever made.

Vehicles don’t come much cooler than the Mercedes-Benz 4×4 Squared. Arguably, it’s a car that can do just about everything. With a monstrous V8, it can keep up with—and sometimes out-accelerate—a number of sports cars. Changing from tarmac to off-road puts the 4×4 even further in its element. Not too many other vehicles shine quite like that.

However, finding one can sometimes be a little tough. Low production numbers are one thing, but then you have to find an owner willing to let go of one. Even as rare as they are, a 4×4 Squared has popped up on our own MBWorld marketplace. If you simply can’t wait for a dealership to get one, this essentially brand new G550 4×4 Squared could be just what you’re looking for.

It is the hardware that makes this G-Wagen what it is. Mention the 4×4 Squared and you’ll assuredly hear about the portal axles. Without the extra added ground clearance, this Benz just wouldn’t be the same. But the engineers at Mercedes knew those axles were exactly what the G-Wagen needed to set itself far apart from any competition.

If you don’t like the being shown up by the newest and latest models, you don’t have to worry much. Mercedes seems reluctant to change the G-Wagen much, with only minor changes here and there between years. Competition from a 6×6 is the only sort you’ll have to worry about, and honestly, you don’t see those on the road very often at all.

Beautiful blue paint contrasts well with the wide carbon fiber fenders, with carbon fiber accents continuing into the interior as well. Black leather and Alcantara seats will keep you comfortably in place. The only thing that’s left is to pick your destination.
