Background
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class, colloquially known as the G-Wagon or G-Wagen, is a four-wheel drive luxury SUV sold by Mercedes-Benz. Originally developed as a military off-roader, later more luxurious models were added to the line. In certain markets, it was sold under the Puch name as Puch G until 2000.

Research notes
Body-on-frame off-road luxury SUV in near-continuous production since 1979 across chassis generations W460/W461/W463/W464/W465, evolving from military/utility vehicle to luxury icon with a largely unchanged silhouette. Exact current-generation specs not fully confirmed (source page was truncated) — flagged as medium confidence, revisit if precise up-to-date figures are needed.
