2023 G-Class Safety

The G-Class is yet to undergo an IIHS review or NHTSA crash test, but with a front crash bar, ten airbags, and the weight and shape of the Great Wall of China, you should be pretty safe in case of an accident. For comparison's sake, EuroNCAP gave the G-Class a full five-star overall rating across the pond.

2023 G-Class Key Safety Features

Although there hasn't been an official Mercedes-Benz G-Class safety review, the big SUV comes packed with a ton of standard safety features. Basics include ten airbags (including dual front knee airbags and side curtain airbags for both rows), electronic stability control, and the Mercedes-Benz Emergency Call system. Active brake assist, speed limit assist, attention assist, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot assist, trailer-stability assist, adaptive high-beam assist, adaptive cruise control, active lane-keep assist, a rearview camera, and pre-safe are all standard.

2023 G-Class Reliability

While the 2022 and 2023 Mercedes-Benz G-Class model years have had no recalls yet, the 2021 model suffered from five - a potential loss of ABS and stability control, an eCall system that may fail or provide emergency responders with an inaccurate vehicle location, a malfunctioning seatbelt locking retractor, a faulty front-seat position switch, and a rear door that may open while driving. Mercedes-Benz offers a four-year/50,000-mile basic warranty which includes corrosion protection, a roadside assistance plan, and a drivetrain warranty for the same amount of time/distance.
