Mercedes Baby G-Class Spied On The Streets - Is It Smaller Than You Thought?

Mercedes-Benz’s ‘baby G’ will arrive by 2027 as the new entry point into a wider G-Class range being created in a similar vein to JLR's Range Rover and Defender brands.

 

Spotted by Autocar spy photographers testing for the first time, the images show just how much smaller that car will be to its siblings.

 

This is especially so in height, with the 'baby G' appearing to be shorter than the 1718mm tall EQS SUV it is pictured alongside. The standard G-Class is 1969mm tall.

Our spy snappers have papped the new 'baby' G-Class out testing.

Set to launch in 2027, it will ditch the ladder-frame construction and be sold exclusively as an EV.

Price? Around £70,000.
