In just under two years, the Mercedes G-Class will go down in history. The star brand has already confirmed that the off-road icon will be transformed into an electric one, the EQG. Some new spy photos, and unofficial information, point to the development of a special edition “Final Edition”.
The Mercedes G-Class his days are numbered. The star brand may have canceled this generation of the SUV before it hit the market, but it reconsidered the situation and opted for a completely new model in the bowels. Now, there will be no more generations of off-road combustion, because in 2024 the EQG, an electrical equivalent, will be launched on the market.
This winter, Mercedes has surprised with highly camouflaged prototypes of the classic off-roader, wrapping more than can be changed in camouflage. The vinyl wraps around the windshield frames reaching almost to the ceiling and, also in the rear part with the camouflaged uprights. Too much for what is a simple faceliftwhich usually only hides the key pieces. yesand they appreciate somewhat larger air intakes, by eliminating the existing ones on the lower edge of the bumper, and some new taillights.

Of course, it is ruled out that it is a mule of the electric future, since there is no indication that suggests in this direction; much less when it has been hunted refueling at a service station. However, one of our star brand informants has told us a very curious fact: a special edition with a farewell flavor. And it is something logical in Mercedes, since the brand is very given to ending the commercial life of certain models with special editions, although there is no official confirmation of the brand.
The G-Class deserves a farewell in style, after the success achieved throughout its commercial life, so small tweaks cannot be ruled out for a Mercedes G-Class Final Editionavailable both in the normal versions and in the grossest of the AMG G 63, which we have also seen camouflaged a few weeks ago.
It is enough to speak of figures to confirm the objective pursued by the brand, and which further strengthens the G-Class Final Edition. In 2017, the level of 300,000 units manufactured and in just three years, in 2020, 100,000 more were added. It is not unreasonable to think of a G-Class with some changes and specific details to reach the end of production with almost half a million units produced on the credit account.
