Vehicle Preview: The 2013 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
The only perfect vehicle you'll ever find.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is distinctive to the point of instant recognition and afforded a level of reverent respect thanks to a reputation built over decades and underpinned by genuine capability. Developed more than three decades ago for severe duty, the 2013 Mercedes G-Class (coming soon) is that rare hand-crafted vehicle that you can still buy, even in the 21st century. For 2013, attention has been lavished on the G-Class; from enhanced exterior styling and a completely new instrument cluster and center console to more standard equipment and the addition of the biturbo V8 G63 AMG, the 33 year old G-Class is better than ever.

In addition to purchasing a more fuel efficient car, driving style can significantly affect fuel consumption.
