Mercedes-Benz G 450d Launched in India at ₹2.9 Crore

Mercedes-Benz has just completed the G-Class hat-trick in India. After the all-electric G 580 EQ Tech and the fire-breathing AMG G 63, it’s time for the torquey diesel to join the lineup. Say hello to the Mercedes-Benz G 450d, launched at ₹2.9 crore in India (ex-showroom) — now the most affordable way to own the legendary G-Wagen in India.

The News About Mercedes-Benz G 450d Launch

This is more than just another launch. The G 450d marks the return of the diesel engine to the G-Class lineup — something Indian SUV enthusiasts have been eagerly waiting for. Mercedes clearly knows its customers; diesel power still rules the hearts (and highways) of luxury SUV buyers.

Engine, Power & Performance

Under the hood sits a 3.0-litre inline-six turbo-diesel engine, producing 367 bhp and a mighty 750 Nm of torque. Pair that with a 48V mild-hybrid system offering an additional 15 kW boost, and you’ve got serious pulling power.

The G 450d uses Mercedes’ 9-speed automatic gearbox with 4MATIC all-wheel drive, capable of rock-solid off-roading and smooth city cruising alike. It sprints from 0–100 km/h in just 5.8 seconds, which is quick for something this big and boxy.

Off-Road Stats That Impress

The G 450d continues the G-Class legacy of being a true go-anywhere machine. With a ground clearance of 241 mm, a water-wading capacity of 700 mm, and approach, breakover, and departure angles of 31°, 26°, and 30°, respectively — this SUV is built to tackle almost anything nature throws at it. Whether it’s rocks, rivers, or rugged terrain, the G 450d doesn’t just survive off-road adventures; it dominates them.

Design & Exterior Updates

The G 450d gets a new grille with horizontal slats, redesigned bumpers, and 20-inch AMG alloy wheels that add a touch of aggression. The classic boxy silhouette remains untouched — because why fix perfection?

Interiors: Familiar but Fabulous

Step inside and the G 450d feels instantly luxurious and commanding. The cabin features dual 12.3-inch displays running the latest MBUX NTG7 system, along with AR-based navigation and a transparent bonnet view that helps you see obstacles while off-roading. 

The premium feel continues with a 760W Burmester sound system, 360° camera, Level-2 ADAS, Nappa leather upholstery, and stunning ambient lighting. It’s a cabin that balances ruggedness with first-class comfort.

Safety Features of Mercedes-Benz G 450d

Mercedes didn’t cut corners here. The G 450d packs advanced driver-assistance systems, multiple airbags, 360° visibility, and robust build quality. It’s one of those SUVs that feels safe even before you start the engine.

Pricing and Availability

At ₹2.9 crore (ex-showroom), the G 450d undercuts its electric and AMG siblings, making it the most accessible G-Class in India.
