Drawing inspiration from a retro show car marking the 500,000th G-Class milestone, the Heritage G550 is a response to enthusiast demand and social media buzz. Its nostalgic charm comes alive with:
- Colors: Available in Agave Green, Colorado Beige, and Cream White — all reminiscent of the original five hues offered in the 1980s.
- Finish: Features a Magno Black grille, headlight surrounds, fender flares, and bumpers to capture the original styling.
- Wheels: Equipped with silver 18-inch five-spoke wheels paired with Falken Wildpeak A/T tires.
The Heritage G550 pays tribute to its roots with:
- Badges & Covers: Hood badges and spare tire covers styled in the original design.
- Details: Bodyside moldings and mud flaps evoke a classic look.
- Turn Signals: Unique amber lenses replicate the iconic signals, overcoming certification challenges.
Inside, the cabin blends retro flair with modern luxury:
- Seating: Leather seats with checked cloth inserts that echo the classic high-spec G-Wagens.
- Trim: Black interior complemented by dark wood accents, and a numbered center console.
- Decals: The "Schöckl Proved" badge and map coordinates of the Schöckl mountain trail add an exclusive touch.
Beneath its vintage exterior, the Heritage G550 offers:
- Features: Comes standard with a Burmester 3D audio system and sunroof.
- Optional Extras: A roof rack and ladder are available as part of the G Professional Package.
With an estimated price around 19% more than the standard G550, expect the U.S. pricing to be close to $176,000.
Mercedes-Benz's Heritage G550 gracefully bridges the classic and contemporary. With only 460 units available, this exclusive tribute to the iconic G-Wagen's past is as timeless as it is modern, blending nostalgia with luxury.
